DIALECTUL AROMÂN

This presentation of the Aromanian spoken today in Dobrudja (Dobrogea), Romania shows the preservation of characteristics inherited from Latin, which are built as a common base for all dialects of Romanian. Aromanian is represented by several groups, historically established: the Pindeni, the Fărşeroţi, the Grămosteni, the Graboveni, completed by the group from Gopeş and Mulovişte (R. of North Macedonia). We mention a concept recently added to dialectology, namely distance dialect, illustrated usually with examples from German (for instance, the idiolect of Transylvanian Swabians compared to the idiolect from the indigene German lands left centuries ago). The distance dialect concept emphasizes the structure unity of some territorially separate idiolects in different historic eras. Such distance dialects are also the historical dialects of Romanian – Daco-Romanian, Aromanian, Megleno-Romanian and Istro-Romanian.
