I am lucky to have learnt Moldavian from my maternal side real preserved Moldavian village like in a time bubble. unfortunately it is also true that in 70% of Moldova west of Prut people use an urbanised Vlachised version: ci faci băi Moldavian replaced ши фашь ўэй Moldavian in maybe 3/4 of Moldova region on hereQuote:

I posted this skit before, with the Hungarian and Transylvanian accents, IMO it's very funny:

Would Moldovans give up mamaliga to distinguish themselves from Romania? This is the questions. As long as you keep mamaliga in the diet there is too much cultural overlap with swarthy Romanians and this is too confusing for the outside observers.Quote:

I don't want go into another useless discussion about identity, but people here always called themselves Moldavians and their language Moldavian. Is not just a coindicdence what Romanian identity, is more like a trend, not like a real nationalism, and is specific mostly for urban heterogenous societiy, not rural area, were people are more homogenous. I never criticize local individuals who identify herself as Romanians, until they start to attack personally me, since vast majority show aggressivity, and love very much to mock and insult, in general they love to mock their own identity, wich is specefic for Western liberals who hate their White identity, vast majority of pro-Romanians are very pro gay, pro multiculturalism, equality. As Ixulescu wrote many times, to be a Romanian you don't need to care about your origins, in fact is more good to forget about them, this is how a real Romanian need to be, bassically you need to be a mongrel. The incident which happen early in this thread, when Basescul posted a video from Caplani, when in the begining is hear simple local peasant music, wich for him sound alien and "Bulgarian", pretty much show what I said above.
Some good Moldavian peasant music which is totally atypical for Romania.

Bullshit. Moldova was founded by Vlachs, and every Vlach calls himself roman/arman etc, always did.Quote:

This is a very important point that shows how ridiculous the moldovenists really are: there were no ethnic states in medieval times, but moldovenists say Moldova was one.
No, you're not quoting me properly. What I said is that Romanians are not tribal and that Romanians easily accept immigrants from the neighboring countries for two reasons: the neighbors are both genetically and culturally similar and have proven in the past that they assimilate very fast.Quote:
