The Romanian word for hillock (măgură) was likely also borrowed from a reconstructed Proto-Slavic *măgula form. [21] Romanian adopted most Slavic loanwords after the change of the original *TorT-syllables was completed in the South Slavic languages in the middle of the 9th century. [21]
The following list is a comparison of basic Proto-Slavic vocabulary and the corresponding reflexes in the modern languages, for assistance in understanding the discussion in Proto-Slavic and History of the Slavic languages. The word list is based on the Swadesh word list, developed by the linguist Morris Swadesh, a tool to study the evolution ...
According to Romanian historian Ion I. Russu , there are supposedly over 160 Romanian words of Dacian origin, representing, together with derivates, 10% of the basic Romanian vocabulary. [ 1 ] Below is a list of Romanian words believed by early scholars to be of Dacian origin, which have also been attributed to other origins.
The Romanian, Albanian, and Hungarian languages show the influence of the neighboring Slavic nations, especially in vocabulary pertaining to urban life, agriculture, and crafts and trade—the major cultural innovations at times of limited long-range cultural contact. In each one of these languages, Slavic lexical borrowings represent at least ...
Several theories, in great extent mutually exclusive, address the issue of the origin of the Romanians.The Romanian language descends from the Vulgar Latin dialects spoken in the Roman provinces north of the "Jireček Line" (a proposed notional line separating the predominantly Latin-speaking territories from the Greek-speaking lands in Southeastern Europe) in Late Antiquity.
Both Georgiev and Duridanov use the comparative linguistic method to decipher ancient Thracian and Dacian names, respectively.. Georgiev argues that one can reliably decipher the meaning of an ancient place-name in an unknown language by comparing it to its successor-names and to cognate place-names and words in other IE languages, both ancient and modern.
The words come from PIE. There are many Romanian words that are indeed from Slavic. But many others can be disputed. Even if a word is found in Russian or Polish, it doesn't mean the word is native to Slavic. A word must also pass other tests: the stems must be broken down and analyzed.Decius 08:49, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)
They decided to replace Slavic loanwords with terms of Latin origin, even trying to get rid of the Romanian word for "and" (și), wrongly attributing a Slavic origin to it. [48] They created portmanteau words, containing both Slavic and Latin roots, like răzbel from the Slavic loanword război and the Latin term bellum (both meaning war). [48]
