History
Main article: History of RomaniaThe Dacians were defeated by the Roman Empire in 106, which marked the beginning of succession of invasions of Romania, although the rulers usually allowed a high degree of autonomy.
In the Middle Ages Romanians lived in three distinct principalities: Wallachia, Moldavia and Transylvania. The first two would be under the influence of the Ottoman Empire, but with internal autonomy, the third at first belonged to Hungary, also having a large autonomy, then to Austria-Hungary.
The modern Romania was born when the principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia merged in 1859, and became independent in 1877. The country was expanded after World War I, when Transylvania, Bucovina and Bassarabia were included.
Parts of Romania were incorporated by the Soviet Union in 1940, mostly comprising the present-day country of Moldova. After the Second World War, Romania became a communist nation under pressure of the Soviet Union.
The decades-long reign of president Nicolae Ceauşescu was ended with an uprising in late 1989, although ex-communists continue to be present in the democratically elected government.

Economy
Main article: Economy of RomaniaAfter the collapse of the Soviet Bloc in 1989-91, Romania was left with an obsolete industrial base and a pattern of industrial capacity wholly unsuited to its needs.
In February 1997, Romania embarked on a comprehensive macroeconomic stabilisation and structural reform programme, but reform subsequently has been a frustrating stop-and-go process. Restructuring programs include liquidating large energy-intensive industries and major agricultural and financial sector reforms. In 1999 Romania's economy contracted for a third straight year - by an estimated 4.8%.
Romania reached an agreement with the IMF in August for a US $547547 million loan, but release of the second tranche was postponed in October because of unresolved private sector lending requirements and differences over budgetary spending.
Bucharest avoided defaulting on mid-year lump-sum debt payments, but had to significantly draw down reserves to do so; reserves rebounded to an estimated $1.5 billion by yearend 1999.
The government's priorities include: obtaining renewed IMF lending, tightening fiscal policy, accelerating privatisation, and restructuring unprofitable firms.
2002 and 2003 were successful economic years, and currently GDP growth is forecast at 4.5% per annum. The average gross wage per month in Romania is 6,721,855 lei as of July 2003, an increase of 3.8% over the previous month. This shows that salaries increase faster than the inflation rate, which is slightly less than 2% per month. The average net salary per month in July 2003 is 4,863,801 lei, which is equal to US$141.05, 131.32 Euro and A$223.73.
Romania was invited by the European Union in December 1999 to begin accession negotiations. It is expected to join the EU in 2007 along with Bulgaria.

Romanian (Română, ISO 639 codes: rum, ron, ro) is an Eastern Romance language, spoken by about 30 million people, most of them in Romania, Moldova (where it is the official language) and neighbouring countries (Hungary, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Ukraine and Greece), but there are also Romanian language speakers in countries like Canada, United States, Germany, Israel, Australia and New Zealand.
Dialects
Romanian has four dialects: Daco-Romanian - generally referred as Romanian, Istro-Romanian, Megleno-Romanian, and Macedoromanian. It is thought that the Romanian language appeared north and south of the Danube. All the four dialects are offsprings of the Romance language spoken both in the North and South Danube, before the settlement of the Slavonian tribes south of the river - Daco-Romanian in North, and the other three dialects in the South.
Linguistic Origins
Most words in Romanian vocabulary (about 75%) are of Latin origin, but it also contains many words borrowed from its Slavonic neighbours and also from German, Hungarian, Turkish, French and English.
There are some Slavonic influences, both on the phonetic level and on the lexical level - for example, since Latin does not has a word for yes, Romanian took the Slavonic da. Also Romanian is the only Romance language with /h/. (Although in many dialects of Spanish, <j> is pronounced as [h], but the original, Castilian phoneme is /x/.)
Singular Plural 1st Person eu - I noi - we 2nd Person familiar tu - you voi - you polite dumneavoastră - you dumneavoastră - you 3rd Person familiar ea - she
el - heele - they (f)
ei - they (m)polite dumneaei - she
dumnealui - hedumnealor - they

Writing letters /S/ and /ts/ with a cedilla instead of a comma is incorrect, but widespread, especially in computer environments. The preferred form is with comma below. (Note that not all computer systems can properly render these "comma-below" characters. However, they are included as special Romanian Unicode characters in the Unicode standard.)
There are seven vowels in Romanian:
a e i o u ă î â
The last two letters both represent exactly the same sound, and since they are also not interchangeable in writing this article counts them as a single vowel.
When authoring HTML that uses the more unusual Romanian characters, the following information may be useful:
- The reason for using both î and â is historical, denoting the language's Latin origin. Unfortunately during Nicolae Ceausescu's regime, the communists also crippled the language by imposing only the usage of î, except for the name of the country, which was still România (probably in order to prevent ambiguity in foreign relations). After his regime ended, the Romanian Academy decided to reintroduce â; unfortunately most of the population had forgotten how to properly use â, so the Academy proposed an artificial set of rules for the usage of this letter. For instance, the Latin angelus (angel) naturally became the Romanian ânger, but today it's spelled înger.

Group of letters
These groups of letters are identical to those in Italian:
Group Sound Example ge dZ like 'ge' in gentle gi like 'gi' in gin ghe like 'ge' in get ghi like gui in guitar ce tS like tche in hatchet ci like tchi in sketching che ke like ke in kerosen chi ki like ki in kimono
Common words and phrases in Romanian
The Romanian alphabet is phonetic, so the words are read nearly as in Italian/Latin (with the exception of the quasi-diacrticals).

Romanian Orthodox Church is one of the Eastern Orthodoxy Churches. The majority of Romanians (about 18 million) apartain to it.Christianity reached Dacia with the extension of the Roman Empire, as many colonists moved here to avoid the persecution of the Roman authorities. By the 9th century, the Romanians adopted the Slavonic liturgy, but ecclesiastical metropolitanates of the Romanian provinces were only created in the 14th century. The religious texts were to be kept in Old Church Slavonic, until the 16th century when the first partial translations were made, and only in the 19th century the whole scripture was translated to Romanian.
Although Romanians were most of the time under foreign suzerainty (under the Ottoman Turks in Moldavia and Wallachia and under the Hungarian rule in Transylvania), the Romanians kept their Orthodox faith as part of the national identity.
In 1698 in Transylvania, a small part of the Orthodox church granted the papal authority, but kept their rites, in order to obtain the equality to the Catholics, becoming the "Greek-rite Roman Catholics" church.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Romanians are either citizens of Romania or a person of Romanian ethnicity.Britannica 1911 wrote about the national characteristics:
their traditional clothes:
- Two dissimilar types are noticeable among the Romanians. One is fair-haired, florid and blue-eyed; the other, more frequent among the Carpathians, is dark, resembling the southern Italians. Both alike are hardy, though rarely tall; both, when of the peasant class, frugal and inured to toil amid the rigours of their native climate. Proud of their race and country, they acquired, with their independence, an ardent sense of nationality; and they look forward to the day which will reunite them to their kinsmen in Transylvania and Bessarabia.
and about their traditions:
- The peasants retain their distinctive dress, long discarded, except on festivals and at court, by the wealthier classes. Men wear a long linen tunic, leather belt, white woollen trousers and leather gaiters, above Turkish slippers or sandals. The lowlanders? head-dress is generally a high cylindrical cap of rough cloth or felt, while the mountaineers prefer a small round straw hat. Sundays and holidays bring out a sleeveless jacket, embroidered in red and gold; and both sexes wear sheepskins in cold weather. The linen dresses of women are fastened by a long sash or girdle, wound many times round the waist: the holiday attire being a white gown covered with embroideries, one or more brightly coloured aprons and necklaces of beads or coins.
See also:
- Romanians generally being more sober than the western Europeans. The ceremonies which accompany a wedding preserve the tradition of marriage by capture; a peasant bride must enter her new home carrying bread and salt, and in parts of Walachia a flower is painted on; the outer wall of cottages in which there is a girl old enough to marry. Young men swear eternal brotherhood; girls, eternal sisterhood; and the Church ratifies their choice in a service at which the feet of the pair are chained together. This relationship is morally and legally regarded as not less binding than kinship by birth. The dead are borne to the grave with uncovered faces, and a Romanian funeral is a scene of much barbaric display. All classes delight in music and dancing. Women hold spinning-parties at which the leader begins a ballad, and each in turn contributes a verse. The Romanian folk-songs, sung and often improvised by the villagers, or by a wandering guitar-player (cobzar), are of exceptional interest and beauty. The national dances and music closely resemble those of the Southern Slavs.
