    Default Why didn't the Romanians get fully Slavicized linguistically?

    Why did they manage to retain most of their Latin based language while most neighboring countries were assimilated? The Romanian language has minor Slavic influence but not much compared to adjacent countries.

    Interesting question. From the little knowledge that I have Romania underwent through a "Latinatization" process couple of centuries ago? Not that they weren't Latin speakers already but they eradicated several Slavic terminologies from their vocabulary. I could be wrong though.

    Because the Bulgarian Empire didn't rule them for long enough.

    The Cyrillic alphabet is not a "Slavic" alphabet though. It is an Hellenic derived alphabet that happens to be adopted by a few Slavic nations. What people don't usually know is that there are more non-Slavic languages being written in Cyrillic than Slavic languages: Abkhaz, Aleut, Bashkir, Chuvash, Erzya, Kazakh,, Kildin Sami, Komi, Kyrgyz, Dungan, Mari, Moksha, Mongolian, Ossetic, Romani (some dialects), Sakha/Yakut, Tajik, Tatar, Tlingit, Tuvan, Udmurt, Yuit and Yupik. Seemingly, there is also more non-Romance language being written with the Latin alphabet than Romance languages themselves.

    Nope, that purge didn't happen. All old Slavic words are still part of the vocabulary.

    [QUOTE = Brás Garcia de Mascarenhas; 6527909] Кирилицата обаче не е „славянска“ азбука. Това е елински произход, който се приема от няколко славянски нации. Обикновено хората не знаят, че има повече неславянски езици, написани на кирилица, отколкото славянски езици: абхаз, алеут, башкир, чуваш, ерзя, казахски,, Килдин Сами, коми, киргиз, дунган, мари, мокша, Монголски, осетински, ромски (някои диалекти), саха / якут, таджик, татар, Tlingit, Tuvan, Udmurt, Yuit и Yupik. Изглежда, има и повече неромански език, написан с латинската азбука, отколкото самите романски езици. [/ QUOTE]


    The first alphabet created for the Slavic peoples is the Glagolitic script. It is the work of Constantine-Cyril and is a completely original graphic system in which each letter corresponds to one sound. Moreover, the letters for the close sounds have similar outlines in it. It remains the most perfect graphics system from ancient times to the present. There is irrefutable proof that the Glagolitic word is the work of Constantine-Cyril, scientists have discovered in the Salzburg memorandum of 871, in which it says that Methodius appeared in Pannonia with "newly discovered Slavic letters". Glagolitic manuscripts are also transferred to Kievan Rus in the tenth century. The most interesting is the fate of the Glagolitic in Dalmatia and Croatia.
    The Cyrillic alphabet was born in the late 9th or early 10th century, containing 24 letters from the Greek letter and 14 characters close to the Glagolitic ones, which correspond to specific Bulgarian sounds. The Cyrillic alphabet has no established authorship. She has been associated with the writers of the Pliska-Preslav Literary School For a long time the two alphabets were used in parallel, but by the end of the X and the beginning of the XI century the more economical and easy-to-use Cyrillic language had replaced the Glagolitic script.
    ...Even if a man lives well, he dies and another one comes into existence. Let the one who comes later upon seeing this inscription remember the one who had made it. And the name is Omurtag, Kanasubigi.

    Not really, in the old Romanian texts, the lexicon is still mostly Latin. What happened recently is that instead of traditionally adding neologisms into the language from South Slavs (mostly Bulgarians), the Romanian academia chose to switch in favour of French and Italian, as they felt they are better suited for a Romance language.
    Nowadays however, a lot of neologisms come from English, as is probably happening in your language too.
