Romanian accent in Transylvania

[Aspirin]

I see. This one though sounds less Hungarian influenced.

Is the opposite, is more hard to be understanded by a random Romanian.

This thread is about accent, not the use of regionalisms.

I don't think Hungarians can tell the difference between dialects of Romanian. Maybe a hungarian from Romania could, idk.

he's from Brașov and not really talented with Transylvania accent from Bistrița/Maramureș in the opposite side of Transylvania. I can do that much better, wanna hear it? being at the crossroads of Bucovina and Maramureș I was exposed to that accent a lot.

very interesting. to Romanian ears Transylvanian accents sounds quite Hungarian, and it is probably originated from the past bilingualism in the area.

Bistrița/Maramureș is just a pretext to bring up Spermezeu. come on, do I need to explain the jokes?

some Hungarian vibe in putting the accent to first syllable but also Italian way of lengthening the vowels. I know their accent was often compared to Italian as well.

well I can tell you're n00b at this. within Transylvania it is well known/accepted that Bistrița and Maramureș countryside are the most peasant and speak the most „ugly” accent (I find it the best, so I don't share this popular opinion). it may have been in order to mention Spermezeu but for erdélyi románok those two counties are the utmost peasant/backward, aso in terms of accent. a sort of Transylvania's Vaslui county.

I remember some stating that when they've heard Transylvanian Romanians speak, they thought they sounded Italian/Italian-ish to their non-Romanian ears.

Vocaroo thread? I wanted it for a long time.

Would you guys say that Romanian accent in Transylvania is influenced by Hungarian? Do you recognize inflections specific to Hungarian?

See this vid with slightly exaggerated Transylvanian accent, do you hear something familiar?

IMO Hungarians speaking Romanian with a heavy accent in the video.
