Romance language quiz

[Wild North]

I´m somewhat fascinated by romance languages. Though I´m not from a romance speaking country myself.

The rule is this: I ask a question, and the one of you giving a correct answer, could go on with a new question.

Question:

Romance languages

The Moldovan language used the Cyrillic script until 1918 and again between 1946 and 1989. Nowadays, this alphabet is still official in the unrecognized republic of Transnistria.
Romanian (up to the 19th century, and a different form of Cyrillic in Moldova from 1940–89 exclusively; now Cyrillic is used in Transnistria officially and in the rest of the country in everyday communication by some groups of people; see Moldovan alphabet)
Ladino in occasional Bulgarian Sephardic publications.

Bump!

New question!

What kind of Spanish dialect, is spoken in eastern Argentina / around Buenos Aires?

Lunfardo is a dialect originated and developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the lower classes in Buenos Aires and the surrounding Gran Buenos Aires,[1][2] and from there spread to other cities nearby, such as Rosario and Montevideo, cities with similar socio-cultural situations. Originally, Lunfardo was a slang used by criminals and soon by other people of the lower and lower-middle classes. Later, many of its words and phrases were introduced in the vernacular and disseminated Spanish of Argentina and Uruguay. Nevertheless, since the early 20th century, Lunfardo has spread among all social strata and classes, either by habitual use or because it was common in the lyrics of tango.

Lunfardo (or briefly, lunfa) began as prison slang in the late 19th century, so guards would not understand the prisoners.
