About Romanian
Romanian is the official language of Romania and Moldova, with about 24 million native speakers. It is a Romance language that grew from the Latin spoken in the Roman province of Dacia, so many of its words look familiar to speakers of Italian, Spanish or French.
Use dumneavoastră as a polite "you" with strangers and older people, and tu with friends and family. Romanian has a few letters of its own: ș sounds like sh, ț like the ts in "cats" and ă like the a in "sofa". â and î are the same sound, a vowel made in the middle of the mouth with no English match. ce and ci are read "che" and "chi".
