Common Romanian ( Romanian : română comună ), also known as Ancient Romanian ( străromână ), or Proto-Romanian ( protoromână ), is a comparatively reconstructed Romance language evolved from Vulgar Latin and spoken by the ancestors of today's Romanians , Aromanians , Megleno-Romanians , Istro-Romanians and related Balkan Latin peoples ( Vlachs ) between the 6th or 7th century AD and the 10th or 11th centuries AD. The evidence for this can be found in the fact that Romanian , Aromanian , Megleno-Romanian , and Istro-Romanian share with each other their main language innovations comparative to Vulgar Latin on one hand, and distinctive from the other Romance languages on the other, according to Romanian linguist Marius Sala .

The Romanian state began opening schools for the Romanian-influenced Vlachs in the 1860s, but this initiative was regarded with suspicion by the Greeks, who thought that Romania was trying to assimilate them. 19th-century travellers in the Balkans such as W.

1265-725: The Proto-Romance language . No later than the 10th century Common Romanian split into southern and northern dialects, and Aromanian and Romanian have developed differently from these two distinct dialects of the proto language over the course of the next one thousand years. Greek influences are much stronger in Aromanian than in other Eastern Romance languages, especially because Aromanian has used Greek words to coin new words ( neologisms ), especially within Greece, while Romanian has based most of its neologisms on French . However, there has also been an increasing tendency for Aromanian-speakers outside of Greece to borrow terms from Romanian, due to

It is divided, in turn, into two periods, with the division falling roughly in the 3rd to 4th century.

They are considered to have developed from Common Romanian , a common stage of all the Eastern Romance varieties. An important source of dissimilarity between Romanian and Aromanian is the adstratum languages (external influences); whereas Romanian has been influenced to
1430-528: The Farsharot and Grabovean types have neither diphthongs nor the phoneme /ɨ/. The Aromanian alphabet consists of 27 letters and 9 digraphs . In addition, the digraph "gh" ( / ɟ / before "e" and "i") is used as well. The grammar and morphology are very similar to those of other Romance languages: The Aromanian language has some exceptions from the Romance languages, some of which are shared with Romanian :
1485-471: The Latin dialect for inside the home. By 1948, the new Soviet-imposed communist regime of Romania had closed all Romanian-run schools outside Romania and, since the closure, there has been no formal education in Aromanian and speakers have been encouraged to learn and use the Greek language. This has been a process encouraged by the community itself and is not an explicit State policy. The decline and isolation of
1540-618: The Romanian-oriented groups was not helped by the fact that they openly collaborated with the Axis powers of Italy and Germany during the occupation of Greece in WWII . In contrast, the vast majority of Vlachs fought in the Greek resistance, including leaders like Alexandros Svolos and Andreas Tzimas , and a number of Vlach villages were destroyed by the Germans. The issue of Aromanian-language education
1595-577: The Romanic population of the Balkan Peninsula. Starting from the second half of the 20th century, many Romanian scholars consider it a sample of early Romanian language, a view with supporters such as Al. Rosetti (1960), Petre Ș. Năsturel (1956) and I. Glodariu (1964). In regards to the Latin term torna (an imperative form of the verb torno ), in modern Romanian, the corresponding or descendant term toarnă now means "pour" (a conjugated form of
1650-512: The Strategikon). This view was later supported by the Greek historian A. Keramopoulos (1939), as well as by Alexandru Philippide (1925), who considered that the word torna should not be understood as a solely military command term, because it was, as supported by chronicles, a word "of the country", as by the year 600, the bulk of the Byzantine army was raised from barbarian mercenaries and

1925-488: The complete disappearance of verb infinitives , a feature of the Balkan sprachbund . As such, the tenses and moods that, in Romanian, use the infinitive (like the future simple tense and the conditional mood ) are formed in other ways in Aromanian. For the same reason, verb entries in dictionaries are given in their indicative mood, present tense, first-person-singular form. Aromanian verbs are classified in four conjugations. The table below gives some examples and indicates
1980-405: The conjugation of the corresponding verbs in Romanian. The future tense is formed using an auxiliary invariable particle "u" or "va" and the subjunctive mood . In Romanian, declension of the future particle plus an infinitive is used. Whereas in standard Romanian the pluperfect (past perfect) is formed synthetically (as in literary Portuguese ), Aromanian uses a periphrastic construction with
2035-528: The definite article is a clitic particle appended at the end of the word, both the definite and indefinite articles can be inflected , and nouns are classified in three genders , with neuter in addition to masculine and feminine. Unlike other Romance languages, Aromanian lacks an infinitive form for verbs, the synthetic infinitive inherited from Latin became a noun like in Romanian (for example cântare < CANTARE ). Aromanian grammar has features that distinguish it from Romanian, an important one being

Aromanian has a degree of official recognition in North Macedonia, where it is taught as a subject in some primary schools. In North Macedonia, Aromanian-speakers also have the right to use the language in court proceedings. Since 2006, Aromanian has had the status of a second official municipal language in
2145-426: The early split of Aromanian, continued to exist until the thirteenth or fourteenth century when all the southern dialects became distinct from the northern one. According to the theory, it evolved into the following modern languages and their dialects: Referring to this time period, of great debate and interest is the so-called Torna, Torna Fratre episode. In Theophylactus Simocatta Histories, ( c. 630),

Since then, a debate among scholars had been going on to identify whether the language in question is a sample of early Romanian, or just a Byzantine command (of Latin origin, as it appears as such– torna –in Emperors Mauricius Strategikon ), and with fratre used as a colloquial form of address between the Byzantine soldiers. The main debate revolved around

2310-511: The first in Aromanian. Even before the incorporation of various Aromanian-speaking territories into the Greek state (1832, 1912), the language was subordinated to Greek , traditionally the language of education and religion in Constantinople and other prosperous urban cities.

Aromanian is not a homogenous linguistic entity. Its main varieties include the Pindus type, the Gramoste type, the Farsherot type, Olympus type, and the Moscopole type. It has also several regional variants, named after places that were home to significant populations of Aromanians (Vlachs); nowadays located in Albania, North Macedonia and Greece. Examples are

It can also be written with a modified Romanian alphabet that includes two additional letters, ń and ľ , and rarely with a version of the Greek script .

2475-462: The misunderstanding of this by the bulk of the army as a military command (due to the resemblance with the Latin military command). Iorga considers the army to have been composed of both auxiliary ( τολδον ) Romanised Thracians—speaking ἐπιχωρίᾳ τε γλώττῃ (the "language of the country"/"language of their parents/of the natives") —and of Byzantines (a mélange of ethnicities using Byzantine words of Latin origin as official command terms, as attested in
2530-523: The new language, Romanian, switched from Latin speech, to a vernacular Romance idiom, called Română comună . The nature of the contact between Latin and the substrate language(s) is considered to be similar to the contact with local languages in other parts incorporated in the Roman Empire and the number of lexical and morpho-syntactic elements retained from the substrate is relatively small despite some ongoing contact with languages closely related to

In the ninth century, Proto-Romanian already had a structure very distinct from the other Romance languages, with major differences in grammar, morphology and phonology and already was a member of the Balkan language area .
