An Aromanian note, three villages

Aromanian (armâneașcă) is not a dialect of Romanian and not a catalogue language across the site. It is the language of families who arrived in Dobrogea in the 1920s, after a stop in the Cadrilater. We mention it on the pages of the villages where they settled, not as a show.

Where, as fact

Aromanian families settled in Ovidiu, Palazu Mare and Cogealac, among other places. Mihail Kogălniceanu belongs to the same settlement story. We do not mark every house. We do not ask for words at the gate.

What you hear, if you hear it

The speech is kept in the family. A horă or a feast announced in public is the community’s event, not a visiting programme. If there is no notice, the page does not invent one.

What it is not

It is not the Megleno-Romanian of Cerna. It is not “old Romanian”. It is not a reason to photograph someone’s dress when they did not ask for the picture.
