Background to the Romanian Language
Known as a “Romance” language, Romanian is a very old and melodic tongue. Dating back to about 110 CE, this language gained its name from the Romans who invaded the territory now known as Romania. Originally, the Romanian language was a crude form of Latin. Because the language the Romans spoke was so similar to the language now known as Italian, there are several similarities between Romanian and Italian.
The Romanian language is often referred to as a simplified form of Latin; there are not quite as many rules and cases to memorize and use with Romanian. In comparison to the other Romance languages, Romanian is one of the easier languages to learn because of its simpler rules which are fairly uniform. Learning this language to the point of fluency is possible, but finding classes may be difficult - it is not as widely taught as other European languages.
