Language
Romanian language is one of the Latin languages of the world. There are a lot of similarities between it and Spanish, French or Italian, although sometimes they might seem hard to spot.
Besides the Latin words, Romanian vocabulary contains words of different origins such as Dacian, Slavic, Turkish and even Hungarian.
Also, the alphabet contains some letters which are not common to the other Latin languages, such as “ă”, “â”, “î”, “ș”, “ț” .
People from different part of the country use different accents, without making it impossible for them to understand each other. However, because of this, for a foreigner, Romanian may sometimes sound more similar to Russian or to Italian, depending on the accent he hears.
