Talk:Aromanian language

What is the difference between this and Macedoromanian language? KIZU 09:08, 27 May 2004 (UTC)

 * Same language, different name: Aromanian (Armâneashti) is the name used by the speakers in their own language; Macedoromanian is the name used by some linguists. Bogdan | Talk 11:05, 27 May 2004 (UTC)

 * The recent genetic study prooved that the Aromanians and Romanians are not the same people, and that therefore the Aromanian language CANNOT be a Romanian dialect.

Genetics and linguistics don't mix too well. There is a deal of genetic difference in Romania between the Wallachians and Transylvanians and by your reasoning, there should be two different languages. At the same time the Serbs are close genetically to the Transylvanian Romanians (and distant from the Slavs), so by the same reasoning, Serbs and Romanians should speak the same language.

Anyway, it would be nice to say about what genetic study are you talking. Bogdan | Talk 16:25, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * and a very small part can be found in Romania, but there are actually an insignificant group.

There are over 50,000 Aromanians in Romania. That cannot be described as "insignifiant". Bogdan | Talk 16:25, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * With the arival of Christianity in the Balkans, the language received some Greek religion related words

The Aromanians were already Christians when they formed as a people, proven by the words inherited from Latin, such as ''Lat. basilica -> Arom. bisearica''. Bogdan | Talk 18:06, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * the word 'basilica' is pre-Christian, referring to a hall where government business was done - basically a 'kingdom hall'.99.224.220.52 (talk) 22:19, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

 * It is strongly supported by many linguists today that the Aromanian language spoken today in the geographical region of Pindus originates from the Vulgar Latin spoken by romanized Greek-speaking population after the Roman conquest of the Macedonian Kingdom(167BC) and later of the southern Greek city states(146BC).The area of Pindus and generally of Epirus and Macedonia was of strategic importance to the Romans in order to maintain communication with the provinces of Asia.For this reason romanisation was encouraged at the areas around Via Egnatia(the road connecting the Greek colony of Epidamnos to Byzantium),by establishing veteran colonies or colonies in existing Macedonian Greek cities such as Veroia.The local Greek population was recruited in Roman auxiliary units.It is supported by linguistic evidence that there is an ancient-Greek substratum in Aromanian.The Aromanians were always billinguals.

I would like references. I don't believe this is the variant strongly supported by many linguists today. Maybe just a handful of Greek nationalists who are disregarded by the scientific community. Bogdan | Talk 15:59, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

That Claim that keeps being added to the article
The claim that the Aromanian language developed from Romanized ancient Greek just doesn't add up. There's no chauvinism involved here. It is simply extremely unlikely. And more than that, it is not supported by scholars outside of Greece. Alexander 007 10:30, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I don't think anyone's claiming that Aromanian is a Greek language or that it developed from ancient Greek. It is clearly a Romance language that developed in a Greek-speaking environment. The theory rather is that the Aromanians are descended from native Greeks who became Latin-speaking after the Romans arrived, rather than immigrants from the Danube. It's not such an implausible idea, unless of course all speakers of Romance languages necessarily have some connection to modern Rumania. User:Theathenae

The major problem with that theory is: Romanian and Aromanian did not develop from Latin independently of each other. They are a continuum. Aromanian and Romanian developed from a continuous community of people who spoke popular Latin.

Problem two: the substratum is not ancient Greek. Of course, as of the year 2005 AD, the Aromanians are extremely mixed with Greeks genetically, culturally, and so on.

Other problems for the theory: Kekaumenos the Byzantine writer wrote that the Vlachs of Thessaly and other parts of Greece came from the north, from the Danubian area, and are descended from Thracians and Dacians; history records that the Vlachs were extremely hostile to Greeks in the old days, and plundered Greek cities (I'm not making this up, I can get the quote for you). They were not Latinized Greeks.

But of course, even after pointing all these things out, many people will still suspect that I have anti-Greek sentiments behind all this. I can assure you that's not the case. This is about history and science anyway: specifically, linguistics. Alexander 007 00:00, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The only problem I have with your theory is the implication that the Aromanians are in fact Rumanians, or that Aromanian is merely a dialect of Rumanian. Yes, Aromanian and Rumanian form part of a linguistic continuum, but then so do all other Romance languages. By the same token, Portuguese would be a dialect of Spanish, or Catalan of Occitan. Some would argue that to be the case, but most linguists would agree that all these are separate languages. Ultimately, it is a matter of self-determination. The overwhelming majority of Aromanians do not identify as Rumanians, so calling their language Macedo-Romanian or overemphasising the Rumanian connection does not serve the best interests either of the community or their language. User:Theathenae

All Romance languages are not part of the same continuum. There was hardly any communication between Romanian, Aromanian on the one hand, and French, Portuguse, Spanish, on the other. Even the extinct Dalmatian language (another Romance language) was not in the same continuum as Romanian, Aromanian, Megleno-Romanian. Those other Romance languages developed separately from popular Latin (Vulgar Latin) spoken in other parts of Europe. If you do not realize this, you need to study more.

Control yourself. The proposition made that Greeks from Thessaly and the North are decended from Thracian and Dacian stock is a completely loaded statement. This is not concrete evidence; it's just  about as plausible as the theory of a Latinised Greek culture. An entire Vlach clan from Epirus can verify that. And indeed, study more.

 * Well, homeboy Theathenae was very irritating. This wasn't the first I had an edit dispute with him. Didn't like him much at that time, he improved later. 69.109.61.47 07:00, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

 * If as a romanian you will read a romanian text from 300-400 years ago it is much possible you will better understand aromanian than old romanian. All the languages are changing. As for ancestry, we all want a good Pedigree as we are dogs or something. Some words are supposed (not known) to be thracian, dacian, bla bla bla :))). Nobody knows enough about Dacia and the so called daco-romans. Beside thracians, in Dacia they lived ilyrians, greeks, phrygians, avars, scythians, celts and many other tribes, the historians from those days didn't visit the land. Of course, there was an unity between them, but that land was like America, a world open for all other nations present and future.

 * Sigh. So many factual mistakes by Johnadi. When Trajan incorporated Dacia into the Roman Empire, all sorts of historians and geographers thoroughly explored and mapped the area.

I am Aromanian, not Rumanian
I am Aromanian. And I am not Rumanian. Deal with it. User:Theathenae
 * Aromanian language is similar with Romanian language. Aromanians are romanians. End of the story. You are greek, not (aro)romanian. Stop fake propaganda. Here it is Wikipedia, not a forum.--Honor et Patria (talk) 11:40, 22 April 2017 (UTC)

I'm not saying that Aromanians are Romanians exactly as you think I am saying. The Aromanian language and the Romanian language developed from the same Proto-Romanian language. You cannot separate them. How you identify is not even the issue, assuming you are even telling the truth. So deal with that. Alexander 007 07:45, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The correct term should be proto-Balkan Latin or proto-East Romance. Calling it "proto-Romanian" is like saying Catalan and Portuguese descend from "proto-Spanish". Rumanian is not the mother language, as you would have us believe. Aromanian and Meglenitic are not dialects of Rumanian; rather, they all developed from the same eastern variant of Vulgar Latin. The relatively late advent of Rumanian nationalism in the 19th century does not change that fact. User:Theathenae

Now you are getting down to terminology. Okay. But the terms you suggest would be applicable to the Dalmatian language also, which would be wrong. For you, this seems to be an issue of a separate identity: I don't have a problem with a separate Aromanian identity. I do have a problem with the false claim (if any make that claim) that Romanian and Aromanian developed completely separate from each other from local variants of popular Latin. I also have a problem with the claim that Aromanian developed from ancient Greeks who were Romanized. I don't even claim that Aromanian is simply a dialect of Romanian: that is disputed. But show me a linguist outside of Greece who claims that Aromanian and Romanian do not descend from the same proto-language, however you want to call it. Alexander 007 08:31, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

And Romanian nationalism dates back long before "the 19th century". Wallachia would never have existed if there was no "Rumanian nationalism", as you say. It is national pride that holds together any state. Or are you indocrinated by Greek propaganda? Alexander 007 08:34, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

"It is national pride that holds together any state", but God forbid that Aromanians dare to challenge official Rumanian national(ist) mythology. They must be "indocrinated by Greek propaganda". It is precisely this patronising attitude that makes Aromanians not want to have anything to do with you. User:Theathenae

You have the misconception that Romanians are trying to diminish Aromanian identity by claiming that Aromanian is simply a dialect of Romanian. I don't have that intention, and I don't see any indication that most Romanians have that intention. What "mythology" are you referring to? Please detail. And I'm not 'patronizing' you, but you are simply saying a bunch of inaccurate things.

The mythology that I see here is the myth that Romanian and Aromanian do not descend from a common proto-language. Another myth is the myth that Aromanian developed from Romanized Greeks. Those are the claims against which I am motivated, not whether Aromanian is a dialect or language, or whether they should be called Romanians. The edit history proves my motivation. Also, calling a language Megleno-Romanian does not imply that it is a dialect: the term is from what I can tell the more common term, and it emphasizes its common origin with Romanian, not whether it is a dialect or language. Alexander 007 09:32, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Kekaumenos
How can user Decius prove that Aromanians were not Latinised Greeks?By saying that according to Kekaumenos,Aromanians in the medieval times ,were all hostile to Greeks?This is definitely not an argument.There is,indeed,historical evidence of rebellions against the local Byzantine authorities,led by Vlach-speaking Byzantines but this does not mean anything.These rebellions were done against the Emperor and the authorities due to heavy taxation and not against Greek-speaking Byzantines in general,as 'Decius' suggests. Even Greek-speaking Byzantines led rebellions for various reasons.Mostly,due to heavy taxation.There is historical evidence in which Vlach-speaking subjects show a pro-Emperor stance.The Vlach-speaking Byzantine Pudillus in the Alexiad warns the Emperor of  the coming of the fierce Pechenegs.Later,we find the Vlach Byzantines allies of the Kingdom(Despotato) of Epirus.Even the Greeks of the Empire of Nicaea fought against the Greeks of Epirus?What can we understand from that?That the Greek- and Vlach-speaking Byzantines of Epirus were not in fact Byzantines?That they were a different nation?I don't think so.If one wants to support the thesis that Aromanians are not descendants of Epirot Greeks,one must find better arguments and not Kekaumenos. Kekaumenos was in fact Greek-speaking Byzantine of Georgian origin.His grandfather was a rebel in Georgia.How can we expect kekaumenos to be able to tell the difference between Daco-Romanians and Aromanians,since his family lived at the other end of the empire?So why should we trust his historical knowledge?What he says about that Thracian tribe,Vessi,applies to the Daco-Romanians who at the time of Kekaumenos lived also at the region of modern northern Bulgaria,south of the Danube,part of ancient Thracia.User:Pelasgos80

 * Pelasgos80, a thing I'm trying to make people realize in Wikipedia is that Daco-Romanian and Aromanian did not develop separately from each other, but rather it was originally a common form of speech (a specific form of Balkan Romance, usually called Proto-Romanian) that only later separated, after the language had already formed its major features. If you say that Aromanians are Romanized Greeks, then you are saying that Daco-Romanians are Romanized Greeks---understand the argument? It's not an argument I invented, this is how the vast majority of scholars approach the situation. So, now the burden is on you to demonstrate that all the Vlach languages, including Daco-Romanian, developed from Romanized Greeks, because one can't seriously propose that Aromanian developed from Romanized Greeks, while Daco-Romanian developed separately from Romanized Daco-Thracians. I also trust what Kekaumenos wrote, though I can't prove that he was correct. Alexander 007 10:16, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * I think the definition of the Aromanians' origins essentially hinges on interpretation. You reject the "Latinised Greeks" theory because to you it necessarily means that erstwhile Greek-speakers suddenly started speaking Latin. And as this is unlikely, the Aromanians must necessarily descend from Rumanians. A rather simplistic interpretation, if there ever was one. The truth, as always, lies somewhere in the middle. The Aromanian and Rumanian languages indeed proceed from the same eastern variant of Vulgar Latin, but no one knows exactly where this language was first spoken. I would venture a guess that it was probably in the lands of the former Yugoslavia, not in modern Rumania. Rather, the proto-speakers went their separate ways; others settled in what is now Rumania and Latinised the local population, others went south to Greece and still others, the now extinct Morlachs, stayed in the lands of the former Yugoslavia. "Latinised Greeks" to me describes the product of the inevitable intermarriage between these Latin-speaking settlers and the local Greek population. Unless of course we believe in "pure" and totally discrete ethnic groups.--Theathenae 10:41, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I can agree with what you say in the above paragraph (in other words, I agree the language may have initally developed in former Yugoslavian lands such as Serbia; though it may also have developed in Dacia or the now Bulgarian part of Moesia), but that's not what Pelasgos was saying as far as I can tell. Alexander 007 10:55, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Oh, and Aromanian and Rumanian did develop separately from each other from a certain point on, despite their common origins. Their linguistic evolution did not stop in the 9th century.--Theathenae 11:23, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I agree with that also, but I was addressing the idea that Pelasgos is supporting: he apparently believes that they developed separately from Vulgar Latin itself. Forget about spin-doctors and term-twisters, that idea is a fringe idea and it is not likely. People should be basically satisfied with the way that idea is treated in the article. Alexander 007 11:31, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I do not agree with this 'all-Thracian' theory that is supported by Decius.How can we say about a Thracian or Dacian substratum of the Balkan Romance languages,since it is known so little about the ancient Thracian language?Maybe there is a substratum that we do not know.Perhaps the populations from the Italian peninsula that colonised the Balkan provinces brought their own strange dialects.Or maybe there is a Greek-Illyrian substratum or Greek-pelasgian substratum.We know from Strabo that at the region west of ancient Macedonia,there were Greek Epirot tribes who spoke along with Greek another language possibly Illyrian.However,this language may have been Pelasgian.A Greek tribe called Haones,living in Epirus was of Pelasgian origin.We do not know if the Pelasgian language had survived at the time of the Roman Empire.We do not know also whether the Etruscan language,which was relative to the Pelasgian,was still in use by Roman soldiers or colonists from the Italian peninsula. Perhaps the strange grammatical features of the Aromanian language(such as the definite article at the end of the words) may have been of pelasgian influence. In my opinion,the common features between Aromanian and Romanian are those which have to do with Latin.The two languages have different non-Latin vocabulary. Also,I think that the list with the words of Dacian origin common in Romanian,Aromanian and Albanian is false.The majority of these words is not used in Aromanian.And those words which are used,are certainly not of Dacian origin.For example the word mare=great is 100% Latin.I know that it is even used in dialects in south Italy.It can't be a Dacian word. Also the word murgu<μοργός(Ησύχιος)or αμολγός(Ευριπίδης) meaning dark is 100% of Greek origin.
 * correction! the last known few speakers of Etruscan lived in the emperor Claudius' time, he himself being as close to an 'expert' on Etruscan as they had in those days; Roman soldiers would be speaking Latin, not Etruscan ... -HFF

You might be right on some points, however you are wrong on others. The Vlach dialects do share much of the same non-Latin vocabulary. Do you really believe that Aromanian developed from Vulgar Latin separately of Daco-Romanian? I maintain that that is impossible. Alexander 007 13:23, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * I don't mind Rumanians stressing the common origins of Aromanian and Rumanian. Greek and Latin also have (more distant but still) common origins, after all. What I do have a problem with is their use of terms such as "Macedo-Romanian" to imply that Aromanian is merely the "Macedonian" dialect of the Rumanian language or their attempt to project a Rumanian identity on the Aromanians.--Theathenae 13:35, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Grammar: Aromanian vs. Romanian
From the language descriptions and from the texts I read I could notice just that in Aromanian the future structure that is common in Aromanian is a largely archaic form in today's Romanian.

For example: 'he will do' Aromanian: "va s-facâ" ("va" + subj.) Romanian: archaic: "va să facă" ("va" + subj.) modern: "va face" (vb "a voi" + inf.)

Are any other differences are between the grammars of the two languages ? bogdan ʤjuʃkə | Talk 22:04, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

Well, first off, "va să facă" and "va s-facâ" is pretty different due to how you pronunce it. I believe they should show the modern version va face and maybe some more, like I will talk, "Eu voi vorbi". Or I will walk, " Eu voi merge" Along with the Aromanian versions.

Mutually intelligibility with Romanian
Just curious: what is the extent of mutually intelligibility between Romanian and Aromanian? Thanks --Dpr 06:39, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

--

From my side (I'm Romanian) not much. Even though 75% of the words are close, Aromanian speak (or sing or perform) too fast. Written Aromanian is easier to grasp, though.

The other way round I cannot tell. All Aromanians that I met, I met in Romania where everyone speaks Romanian too (that includes most first-generation immigrants from other nations also, as well as ALL 2nd or later generations).

There is also the fact that southern (as to the Danube river) Romanian-like speeches are considered (in Romania at least) as dialects of Romanian, which is an incentive for Aromanians to learn Romanian but not the other way around. 24.203.68.10 (talk) 05:48, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Dialect
The idea that it is a dialect is notable enough to be mentioned. Britannica agrees with it:

 * The name Romanian is usually identified with Daco-Romanian, one of the four major dialects of Balkan Romance. Other dialects are Aromanian (Macedo-Romanian), spoken in scattered communities in Greece, Macedonia, Albania, and Bulgaria; the nearly extinct Megleno-Romanian, spoken in northern Greece; and Istro-Romanian, spoken on Croatia's Istrian Peninsula.

Mutual intelligibility with Romanian
To answer a question asked earlier, I will share my own experience. I'm a native Romanian speaker and I have never studied Aromanian. Although I do speak other languages, the one that gets closest to Aromanian (except for my mother tongue) is French, so that does not help much. In these conditions I just took the first text I found in Aromanian -- which happened to be an explanation of the writing system used in this language -- and I found, much to my surprise, that I have almost no problem reading it; it's definitely easier than when trying to read Italian. When I say "almost" I mean that sometimes I would stumble on words that I didn't understand (something like one word in ten), words that sounded Greek to me (and in a couple of cases I could confirm their Greek origin with a dictionary). Other than such lexical differences, most of the words are either spelled identically with their Romanian counterparts, or follow some rather systematic sound changes. Gramatically I could not find any significant differences. The verb tenses seemed okay, unlike what I read here, I could recognize as much as five tenses of the indicative mood. Adjectives do not seem to agree in case with the nouns they modify, while Romanian ones do. All in all, I had the impression that I was reading a somewhat archaic Romanian text, just here and there sprinkled with Greek borrowings. I have no idea about the political issues behind this dialect/language controversy, and I don't want to know. But I cannot bring any argument against the linguists that maintain that Aromanian and Romanian are only dialects of the same language. --AdiJapan 17:14, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Mutual intelligibility is determined by linguists (in Reliable Sources), not our personal experiences.

NOT TRUE!!!
I am also Romanian born but an armãn descendent from Bulgarian & Macedonian families. What you are saying totally untrue! The Armãneashti language spoken in Romania is a bad mixture of the real Armãneashti and the Romanian (french based) words.

This is happening due to the forced assimilation that the Romanian government and the Romanian academy is trying to accomplish. The same issue is struggling in Greece, where they say that Armãneashti language is a Latin based Greek language.

If you will meet a proper Armãneashti speaker, you would not understand at all.

Please set your facts straight and stop imposing bad arguments. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.170.161.80 (talk) 06:24, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
 * This is a fake greek propaganda. I'm romanian, and I understand the aromanian language in proportion by 80%! The "aromanian language", same as megloromanian and instroromanian, is a dialect of romanian language, not a separately language.--Honor et Patria (talk) 11:49, 22 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Linguistically, it IS a separate language. Look up the scientific definition of what a dialect is.
 * I am not aware of any forced assimilation in Romania. I never heard any Romanian citizen express a desire to assimilate minority groups. You could try to raise awareness of this problem, and you could write articles and/or books in Aromanian or at least some more Wikipedia articles in Aromanian. I am sorry to say it, but the number of articles in Aromanian is pathetic. 67.87.145.157 (talk) 23:33, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

Note on Slavic influence in Aromanian
In place of Daco-Romanian vorbă, a vorbi, vorbeşte, etc., (not agreed to be from Slavic, see DEX etc.), Aromanian has zborla, zburascu, zbureşte or something similar, which are from Slavic (<early pan-Slavic s(o)boru, "gathering"). This is a basic part of vocabulary (these words signify "word" and "speech" itself), and we should mention this lexical feature to draw more attention to the Slavic influences in Aromanian.

 * Aromanian Example: Vocala easti un son dit zburǎrea-a omlui...

 * Romanian Example: Vocala este un sunet din vorbirea omului...

 * English: The vowel is a sound in human speech ...

-I'm wondering whether or not Romanian cuvânt (<Latin conventus), meaning "word", has its complement in Aromanian; possibly it did not develop or was lost and/or replaced by the Slavic loan, I don't know. -Alexander 007 07:40, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

 * You could be right about the etymology of Aromanian zbor (word) although I wouldn't be surprised if someone proved a Latin origin for it, like the Romanian zbura (to fly) from Latin *exvolare. But pointing out the existance of Slavic borrowings should only come after doing the same, in order, for (Proto-)Romanian, Greek, and Albanian ones. From my Aromanian reading I would say that more than 70% of the Aromanian vocabulary is akin to the Romanian one, and even more than that if you only consider the very basic words.

 * Your idea of a parallel between Aromanian zbor and Romanian cuvânt is quite interesting. If you have references we could include this in the article. --AdiJapan 11:25, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I came across this etymology of Aromanian zbor sometime about August or September of 2004, on this site: which is maintained by a linguist and Thracologist. The etymology that Olteanu mentions (I do not think he is the originator of this Slavic etymology, which appears to be the standard etymology) is the most probable. -Alexander 007 11:42, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Capidan's dictionary says that Megleno-Romanian/Aromanian "zbor" is indeed from Bulgarian (actually it's Macedonian) "Збор". Anyway, the change of meaning in Romanian was rather late, as Albanian "kuvend" still has the original meaning of convention. bogdan | Talk 11:56, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

"Vorba, vorbi is from slavic, from old slavic 'dvoriba'".---User:172.193.178.244

 * Probably. But last time I checked in DEX and another source or two the Slavonic origin was disputed, so I indicated that. I went back and chose a better word. They have reasons. Not that it concerns me. It's a nice cluster of words, wherever they come from. 69.109.61.47 04:39, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Is there any possibility of the word zboru being a Gothic loanword because of the contacts between latin speakers of the Balkans and the Goths? When I saw this word,what came to my mind was the word sprechen in Deutch.Maybe the origin of this word is Gothic and i think this theory is not irrational since in many regions of the Balkans vlachs and Goths had lived together for some period of time. What do u believe?

 * No. The Germanic words don't work as the source. I don't think you'll find any reference in support of them being Germanic loans. 69.109.61.47 04:47, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Daco-Romanian or Romanian?
For NPOV reasons, the comparison section is between Aromanian and Daco-Romanian. And here's why this phrasing is better. For some linguists these two languages are just dialects of the Romanian language. In this sense saying Daco-Romanian is the only choice. For other linguists they are separate languages, in which case Romanian and Daco-Romanian are synonyms, so it doesn't matter which you choose. --AdiJapan 16:04, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

 * I disagree. I think the term "Daco-Romanian" is POV to those who think that Aromanian is a dialect of Romanian. Daco-Romanian is the term used by these linguists to refer to the dialect of Romanian spoken mainly in Romania. It is therefore not a real synonym to Romanian - it's the term preferred by linguists who see Aromanian as a Romanian dialect, and is hence POV. The article already presents both points of view, but the main view, reached by consensus, is that the two languages are separate, and are part of the Eastern Romance group, which some Romanian linguists see as "one language". In that group, Daco-Romanian does not exist - it is only used when referring to Romanian as a group of four dialects, which are "Istro-Romanian", "Daco-Romanian", "Megleno-Romanian" and "Macedo-Romanian" (often called Aromanian). But, simply adding "Daco-" suggests that there is another Romanian language, and is hence a POV statement. Ronline 05:57, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Not that I have any special interest in the number of speakers for any given language, but in particular for Aromanians it seems that they are hard to count. There are no reliable official numbers, because most of the time Aromanians refuse to declare themselves as ethnically different from the base population of the country they live in. [It's not that they refuse willingly. Most countries in the Balkans are national states. They don't look at foreigners as nicely as, say, Canada.]

 * Ethnologue gives widely different counts. For example the Greek authorities evaluate them at 200,000, while for the same country the Association of French Aromanians estimates 700,000. A similar situation occurs in Albania. In total they could be even more than 1 million. We'll have to deal with the lack of data and shouldn't push any set of figures too much. —  Adi Japan   ☎  12:55, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Aromanian verbs
The article says that there are 5 conjugations in Aromanian. Yes, I wrote that, based on this Verbix page, but now, reading Th. Capidan's book on the Aromanian language, here, I find that he says there are only four conjugations. Does anyone have a better grasp of the Aromanian grammar to clarify this? The verbs in the other closely related languages have four conjugations. — Adi Japan   ☎  12:15, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Greek hypothesis
Is there any proof that anyone (even in Greece) claims that what is written in the "Greek hypothesis" section is true?

 * What was done there was just some editing in haste to remedy what User:Theathenae added or something. I expect that User:Theathenae did not invent it himself. I haven't even checked the article to see how the section reads now, but I expect that it's all been cleared up by now with sources. 69.109.61.47 04:53, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

 * and it shouldn't have been titled Greek hypothesis. Maybe "a Greek hypothesis"? :) That was something done on the spot. No one bothered to take time and fix that section. User:Theathenae should have come with sources instead of just adding all kinds of material. No one had time to clean up after that virulent editor comprehensively. 69.109.61.47 04:58, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Only 300.000 speakers?
The Aromanian Wikipedia says there are 4.000.000 http://roa-rup.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limba_arm%C3%A3neasc%C3%A3 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 193.231.76.98 (talk • contribs).

 * It was not an "order". Consider it an invitation to follow the NPOV policy. In fact, your revised version (I mean this one) was more neutral than your first version, and I think we can work from there. I disagree with the total revert made by 128.214.184.63.
 * However, as much as you would like to prove that Aromanian and Romanian did not emerge from the same language, most linguists (not just from Romania as you seem to think) agree that the two languages have too much in common to have emerged independently.
 * Finally, for everyone to understand you, please write in English. — Adi Japan   ☎  13:48, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Eeamoscopolecrushuva, I reverted the article back to your last version, but made a few changes: I removed the part which said that Aromanian and Romanian have different ancient substratum. If the source you provided for that paragraph also makes such claims I apologize, but all the sources I know claim that the two languages split around 1000 AD (give or take a couple of centuries), so it is not understandable how they could have different substrata.
 * Also, I removed a large piece of text that was mistakenly inserted twice. — Adi Japan   ☎  14:10, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

 * One more thing. In the section about the gerund, it would be nice to have the gerund forms together with the indicative forms, not just the indicative. Also, as far as I know, Aromanian dictionaries give verb entries in their 1st person form, not in the 3rd person. If this is true, could you please correct the section? Thanks. — Adi Japan   ☎  14:15, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

 * If I stated the source obviously I am quoting it right. And if the languages are so similar why can't you understand me? Eeamoscopolecrushuva 17:20, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Eeamoscopolecrushuva, whether AdiJapan understands you or not, please write your comments in English so that all editors can follow this discussion. --Macrakis 17:36, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Eea, I understand pretty much of what you wrote, the only problem I have is with some words coming from Greek. I have actually read a whole book in Aromanian, but because it was written in a more scientific style (it was about the language itself) I had much fewer problems reading it. And to show just how much the two languages are similar, here is a sentence taken from your message and translated into Romanian:
 * Limba armãneascã nu easte unã limbã cu cai va s-putets sã-giucats.
 * Limba aromânească nu este o limbă cu care puteţi să vă jucaţi.
 * (Aromanian is not a language you can toy with.)
 * This shows about how far-fetched is the different-origin theory.
 * Now back to the subject, the problem with the paragraph you reinserted is that it doesn't fit into the article in this form. On the one hand the article says that the two languages split from the same trunk, and on the other it says that they have different substrata. These two theories are obviously incompatible and should be written as such, in the same place. Hopefully they will also be supported with arguments. — Adi Japan   ☎  18:21, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Tense talk
What does "The sequence of tenses is absent" mean? There are no tenses? Some tenses are missing? The tenses are different?

---Could mean that us Romanians (and probably the Aromanians) don't care about properly sequencing the tenses in a phrase. Or it may seem that way to us, since we hit a small hurdle when learning English or French where they care about it.
 * English: I will do x when I have y. [future, but then present]
 * Romanian: Voi face x când voi avea y. [future + future]

In Romanian, it matters when the logical action takes place (both are in the future in this case) not what the phrase look like. There is an "anterior future" tense in Romanian (like "voi face x după ce voi fi terminat y" / "I'll do x after I have finished y"), as well as a "future in the past" periphrase (e.g. "nu știam ieri că aveam să scriu azi aici"/ "I didn't know yesterday that I would write here today."), but many people don't use them, especially since the actual understanding of a phrase using the "anterior future" is actually a "past in the future". In the example above, had I used "anterior future" tense "...cand voi fi avut y" it would translate like "when I have had y" which is logically incorrect (still need y to do x and will not lose it in the process).

Same for quoting past phrases. We (Romanians) would think it's very odd for English speakers to say "He said that 2 and 2 was 4", when it still is. (We would use past tense for the second verb if the second part is not true anymore, though. Logics again.)24.203.68.10 (talk) 07:26, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

One diaspora
I believe there are about 1000 it Aromanians in Helsingborg Sweden, but I've not found the source. I don't think it is important enough to be mentioned in itself, but a section on the number of speakers in diaspora would be interesting. Rursus dixit. ( m bork3 !) 08:02, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Recent additions to the lede
has lately made some useful additions to the article. The latest and rather comprehensive additions to the lede are, however, problematic, for several reasons:
 * According to the guideline WP:LEAD, the lead shall "stand on its own as a concise overview of the article's topic". It is therefore not the place for a lengthy discussion of diverse origin theories, especially not presenting a new theory that is not even mentioned in the main article. This is clearly giving WP:UNDUE weight to the new (and so far unsourced) theory.
 * According to the same guideline, the lede should "contain no more than four well-composed paragraphs". The current lead after the additions contains some ten paragraphs.
 * The additions are completely unsourced and gives an impression of being original research.
 * The additions do not follow the Wikipedia Manual of style. The text is written as an essay, with formulations like "we should take into consideration", "That being said, ...", "However, ..."

The most obvious solution is to remove the whole origin discussion for lack of sources. However, if the so-called "new theory" really is a serious rivalling theory to the mainstream one, it could and should be covered in the article. In the hope of someone finding sources discussing the theories, I will instead move the whole discussion to a new section named "Origin theories" and template it for sources and OR. If sources are found and introduced within reasonable time, the origin question may then be given one sentence in the lede. Regards! --T*U (talk) 21:31, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Continuing the work with the lede, I note that MOS:FIRST requires to keep redundancy to a minimum in the first sentence, focussing on the subject of the article only. This means that the first sentence should not mention the other languages in the group, but they can be specified in the next paragraph of the lede.
 * The last paragraph seems to indicate that the use of the Latin script is somehow inevitable since the language is a Romance one. That is, of course, not the case. Aromanian has also been written with the Greek alphabet. --T*U (talk) 20:31, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

Geographic distribution

 * I am sorry, but the your latest edits to the second paragraph of the "Geographic distribution" section does not make sense grammatically nor logically. Please try to follow the Manual of style punctuation rules as laid out in MOS:PUNCT (which are based on standard punctuation rules for the English language).

Since it turns out to be possible to misunderstand the original sentence, I will rephrase it. My use of semicolons were an attempt to clarify the structure, but they were again misunderstood, so I will try it out with bullet points instead.

It turns out that I misunderstood "in Europe" as being connected to the Turkey/Ottoman Empire part. If "in Europe" is supposed to belong to the list of "other" places, together with US, Australia..., it is redundant. You cannot say that there are Aromanians in Romania and in Europe. Then it has to be qualified to "rest of Europe", "western Europe" or similar.

In any case, the addition of the list of places is unsourced, so I will add a citation needed template. I will also reinstate the template that earlier has been removed from the Ottoman Empire part. This article is now so much in need of citations that it may become necessary to scrap large parts of it. I suggest you read WP:V about verifiability and WP:RS about reliable sources. Before you add more unsourced content to the article, you should attempt to find sources for the content that already is there. --T*U (talk) 08:23, 28 April 2018 (UTC)

Most obvious Greek-influenced difference
The /k/, /g/, /n/ shift to /p/, /b/, /m/ seems worth remarking upon in particular, and it really stands out in comparative word lists. It's the same sort of difference between Latin and Greek, and between the Q and P Celtic languages. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  01:56, 14 December 2019 (UTC)

DISPUTED CONTENT/TERMINOLOGY
To all users of the current page!

Since there have been and still there are disputes about important content/terminology used in the respective page, I have to make clear my viewpoint on the following issue.

The use of terms like: ‘’Romanian’’, ‘’Proto Romanian’’, ‘’Common-Romanian’’, and other Romanian-related, with the purpose of: implying, suggesting, claiming, etc, that the Aromanian language is a dialect or descendant of the Romanian language both modern and/or ancient, must not be tolerated. The respective terms are irrelevant to the identity of Aromanians and the Aromanian language. The Aromanian language = language, not a dialect of any ‘’mother’’ Romanian. Its status has been established officially by, both, international institutions (ex: European Council) and the legislation of native countries of Aromanians (ex; the Republics of North Macedonia, and Albania). Using the respective terms and/or theories for the above purposes constitutes abuse, therefore, any intervention done to recycle those terms for the above purpose must result in penalisation.

Editors who would like to mention outdated terminology, theories, etc. can do that in the history section, by specifying their obsolete nature. Legione-Romana (talk) 03:45, 7 April 2021 (UTC)Regards
 * , you will eventually end up reported for POV-pushing and removal of sourced content just because you don't agree with it. It is clear that Aromanian descends from the language that Romanian, Megleno-Romanian and Istro-Romanian did, and the name linguists gave it happens to be Common Romanian (and not Balkan Romance).

Proposed merge of Standardized Aromanian language into Aromanian language
Standardized Aromanian language is not quite poor quality enough for me to want to nominate it for outright deletion when there's a very similar article it can be merged into...but it would, nonetheless, benefit from being merged. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 17:20, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I added more info to the page. As for the merging, I'm not informed enough to know whats better (G)jabz (talk) 22:22, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Support we rarely have articles for the standardization process of languages. They are usually articles about the standardized forms themselves (e.g. Standard Arabic). No Standard Aromanian exists as it hasn't been universally accepted (it's still easy to see differences among Aromanian texts) and it does not have an institution regulating the language. The closest thing to this article we have is Romani language standardization. Romani is spoken by way more people (close to times more people than Aromanian) and there have been more attempts worth talking about that could make the page about the language too crowded. Not the case here, Aromanian has only had a few standardization attempts. And by the way, many sources in the article are not valid, such as just citing the main website of some Aromanian organizations. Super   Ψ   Dro  14:22, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

Orphaned references in 1776
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of 1776's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "ReferenceA": From Hebrew calendar: See The Remaining Signs of Past Centuries. From North Carolina:  From Phi Beta Kappa Society: Robert W. Storm, "In Token of Friendship: Early Fraternity Medals at the College of William and Mary"; 1973; typescript in university archives, Earl Gregg Swem Library, College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, Virginia.

09-December-2006: I have been able to add images beside the Events text, but it required moving the "Year-in-other-calendars" to the Births section (which is where it "appeared" to be in years with few events, by automatic formatting). I then had to separate the Births section by a break-line:

The break-line pushes the subheader "Births" below any future Event images. I also added images in a similar manner to the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, as well as the 1770s. -Wikid77 21:50, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Few Events
09-December-2006: Unlike years with recent celebrities and TV news, the listed Events for 1774 have been few, so I condensed the 12 monthly subheads to just 2 halves of the year, plus Unknown-dates. The condensed list revealed 2 errors: the event at "March 31" wasn't indented, and the events in October were not in sort-order. A condensed list can help to spot errors, but webpages that could display condensed lists would also be effective, if Wiki had abstraction tools to show user-selected condensed/expanded views of data. -Wikid77 22:02, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Dundee United F.C. do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Your edit here to Dundee United F.C. was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://www.facebook.com/dundeeunitedfc) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.

Paschal greeting

The Paschal greeting, also known as the Easter Acclamation or Easter Day Greeting, is an Easter custom among many Christian churches, including Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran, Methodist, Presbyterian, and Congregational.

One offers the greeting "Christ is risen!" and the response is "Indeed He is Risen!" or "He is risen indeed!" with many variants in English and other languages (compare, , , , ).

Theories on origin
Credits for the origin of the greeting vary. However, the phrase "Christ is risen" is likely a shortened piece from Matthew 28:5-6, "The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay."

There are two competing theories for the source of the response, "He is risen indeed." The first follows the tradition, not mentioned in the Bible, of Mary Magdalene bringing an egg to Emperor Tiberius. She then greeted the emperor with the words, "Christ is risen." Others believe that the response comes from the Gospel of Luke 24:33-34 "There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled together and saying, 'It is true! The Lord has risen and has appeared to Simon.'" Regardless of the initial source, the phrase has become part of the Christian tradition. The greeting is used by many to celebrate the belief in the resurrection of Jesus Christ on Easter morning

Examples
It is used among members of some Christian denominations when meeting one another during Eastertide; some even text or answer their phones with the phrase.

Eastern Orthodox
The greeting and reply are:

Christ is Risen! – Truly He is Risen!

 * In the original language, Χριστός ἀνέστη! – Ἀληθῶς ἀνέστη!
 * In the most widely-used language, Хрїсто́съ воскре́се! – Вои́стинꙋ воскре́се!

A list in 57 languages is found at the website of the Orthodox Church in America.

In some cultures, such as in Russia and Serbia, it is also customary to exchange a triple kiss of peace on alternating cheeks after the greeting.

Catholic
In the Latin Church, the traditional greeting on Easter morning and throughout the Easter Octave is: ''Christus surréxit! - Surréxit vere, allelúja'' (“Christ is risen!” - “He is risen indeed, Alleluia!”). This ancient phrase is similar to the Greek one, and echoes the greeting of the angel to Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of James, as they arrived at the sepulchre to anoint the body of Jesus: "He is not here; for he has risen, as he said" (Matthew 28:6).

years page layout
I have made some year layout proposals which would affect a significant proportion of the year pages: an example of proposed style is 1850. It is detailed on my talk page. However pre 1800 the change is largely cosmetic.

If no-one flags where I have put the discussion on my talk page that they object in a month I will start making everything consistent. It may take some time... --(talk)BozMo 16:13, 11 May 2004 (UTC)

Odd...
Microsoft SQL server does not recognize dates before 1753. Does this year have some specific significance?

 * Date and time data from January 1, 1753 through December 31, 9999, to an accuracy of one three-hundredth of a second (equivalent to 3.33 milliseconds or 0.00333 seconds). Values are rounded to increments of .000, .003, or .007 seconds, as shown in the table.

Talk:1751

1751 by the British Implementation of the Julian Calendar had No January or February or March 1-24.
Under the Julian calendar the first day of the (legal) year was 25 March. So, January and February 1751 were skipped. After the last day of December 1751, the following January and February would have been the last two months of 1751. But with the calendar change, that January and that February were instead attributed to 1752.

Some newspapers in the British North America were starting their year in January prior to 1751, for example the Pennsylvania Gazette and the Maryland Gazette. The Virginia Gazette started the year on March 25 and hence there are no January, February or March issues in 1751 until March 28. Those months did not exist. The Quaker records clearly indicate this switch as well. There were not 11th or 12th months in 1751 and no 1-24 of the 1st Month (i.e., March)

Images
19-January-2007 (revised 16Feb07): Prior to November 2006, many years didn't have event images. For the 420 yearly articles in "1500-1799" and "1880-1999", I have been able to add images beside the corresponding text under Events, but that required opening space, along the righthand-side, by moving the "Year-in-other-calendars" to the Births section (which is where it "appeared" to be in most years with few events, by automatic formatting). The new images now are near the corresponding Events text. I also had to separate some sections by adding a break-line template:

The break-line pushes the next subheader down, below any future Events images above it. Images have been added in a similar manner to the 1500s, 1600s, 1700s-1890s, 1900s-1980s, etc. Among those 480+ years, the various articles, originally, each had slightly different month-name groups and formats; some articles had only one large image, placed wherever it would fit. -Wikid77 06:56, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Julian slower
16-Feb-2007 (revised 17Mar07): Many of the yearly articles from 1582-1800 have had the wrong weekday starting for the Julian calendar, which started as a "10-day slower" calendar, then lost a day each century, while other nations hadn't converted to the Gregorian calendar (such as Russia until 1919):

 * - in the 1600s, use "10-day slower" - in the 1700s, use "11-day"
 * - in the 1800s, use "12-day slower" - in the 1900s, use "13-day"

When a Julian year is 10-days slower, the weekday is 4 days behind (14 - 10), or 3 days ahead (7-4 = 3), of the Gregorian weekday, until a Julian leapday in 1700, 1800, or 1900 shifts an extra weekday. The Gregorian 1582 ended on Friday, while the Julian 1582 ended on Monday (3 weekdays ahead).

It is helpful to maintain day-shift rulers (Gregorian-to-Julian):

 * 10-day: Monday-Thu, Tue-Fri, Wed-Sat, Thu-Sun, Fri-Mon, Sat-Tue, Sun-Wed.
 * 10-day: (3-weekday ahead)
 * 11-day: Monday-Fri, Tue-Sat, Wed-Sun, Thu-Mon, Fri-Tue, Sat-Wed, Sun-Thu.
 * 11-day: (4-weekday ahead)
 * 12-day: Monday-Sat, Tue-Sun, Wed-Mon, Thu-Tue, Fri-Wed, Sat-Thu, Sun-Fri.
 * 12-day: (5-weekday ahead)

Because Russia avoided converting until 1919, the Julian calendar is notable well into the 20th century. -Wikid77 00:33, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Hacked format
16-Feb-2007: The Wikipedia concept was warned, years ago, of the natural tendency toward rampant vandalism and hacking of articles, which advised that article-content should be controlled in some manner to avoid trashing thousands of hours of work. Indeed, within weeks of reformatting over 300 yearly articles (according to the repeated steps listed in "Talk:1550"), various other users began hacking sporadic articles into ad hoc formats, returning to the days where each year has a slightly different format from other years.

In general, as is the case in user-defined webpage-content, articles should evolve into semi-controlled sections, where only some parts of a page could be changed by random users, and protected sections would enforce standard formats and ensure that critical information is not vandalized or hacked. For example, for all years in one century, a standard format could be locked into all articles, but users might opt to expand information freely in related articles tied to "see-also" links.

Be not deceived, the problem is critical: in the "Hurricane Katrina" article, watched by dozens of people, the Mississippi landfall time (carefully recorded from footnote sources) got botched by several hours during a flurry of edits, and the mistake lasted for over 11 days, even though hundreds of people had edited the article. A controlled section for a hurricane article could lock-down the eye-path, wind-speed, and landfall details against tampering, while allowing a flurry of edits in other sections not critical to understanding the basic facts of Who, what, when, where, why, and how for an article. There are too many other subjects needing expanded articles, to expect editors to continually monitor older articles for sporadically botched key facts. -Wikid77 06:58, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
