Romanian, a Romance language derived from Latin, is spoken by about 24 million native speakers, primarily in Romania and Moldova. It uses the Latin alphabet with diacritics like "ă," "î," "ș," and "ț." Known for its clear pronunciation and melodic quality, Romanian grammar features three grammatical genders (masculine, feminine, neuter), five cases for nouns, and complex verb conjugations that vary by tense, mood, and person. Its vocabulary retains strong Latin roots, with influences from Slavic, Turkish, Hungarian, and French due to historical interactions. As the official language of Romania and Moldova, Romanian is central to their culture, literature, and national identity.
