About Moldovan
Moldovan is the eastern variety of the Romance language better known internationally as Romanian, spoken mainly in the Republic of Moldova and in neighboring parts of Ukraine. It has around 2.5 million speakers, or a few million if wider diaspora use is included. The language is written today in the Latin alphabet in Moldova, while a Cyrillic-based orthography has also been used in some historical and regional contexts, especially in Transnistria.
A distinctive feature shared with Romanian is the postposed definite article: the article is attached to the end of the noun, as in om for “man” and omul for “the man.” In modern linguistic usage, Moldovan and Romanian are generally treated as the same language, with Moldovan referring to the local standard and identity in Moldova. The best-known literary figure associated with Moldovan cultural life is poet Mihai Eminescu, who was born in Botoșani and educated in Chișinău’s wider cultural sphere.
