AROMANIAN LANGUAGE, PEOPLE, & CULTURE

Описание: Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together.

Special Thanks to Sebastian Florea & Alexandru Mociu for sharing their beautiful language & culture! :D

The Aromanian language (armãneashti, or rrãmãneshti), also known as Vlach language, is an Eastern Romance language, similar to Megleno-Vlach, Istro-Vlach, and Romanian, spoken in Southeastern Europe. Its speakers are called Aromanians or Vlachs (a broader term and an exonym in widespread use to define Romance communities in the Balkans). Some scholars, mostly Romanian ones, consider Aromanian a dialect of Romanian, but it has been shown in the last years that the language has its own dialects, and grammar rules proven to show its coming from the Vulgar Latin in the Peninsula.

Aromanians still speak the language throughout the Balkan Peninsula, especially in ConsTANța, Romania, MEtsovo, Greece, Bitola, and Skopje in North Macedonia, Korce, Albania, and many other cities and villages. They are officially recognized in Albania and North Macedonia and currently debating in Romania. In Romania they have the first Aromanian church in Constanța, they have numerous organizations and their language is optional in some schools.

They participate in several events during the year, especially 23 May which is the National Aromanian Day in all the countries in the Balkan Peninsula, apart from Greece which doesn't recognize the day for historical facts. The population can't be estimated anymore because, in the censuses that have been done in the last years, they've always been considered either Albanians, Greeks, or Romanians, making the counting almost impossible.
