| | NL27_1: Aromanians in Greece |
 | | Economically and politically, Aromanians had the possibility to develop their own nation, but the high level of geographical dispersion and ethnic intermixing were hindering and made these national aspirations quite difficult. | | | The image of Aromanians as a wild, pastoral people, which still prevails in Greek society as well as in neighbouring countries, is also supported by the media. | | | Usually Aromanians who had economic success as tradesmen or caravan leaders assimilated very fast to other nations, whereas the many semi-nomadic Aromanian peasants, perceived as a lower class, have not developed a national elite. |

| | NL23_3: Aromanian Writing System |
| | This was essentially the situation some 20 years ago, around 1980, at the birth of the present, new movement of Aromanian national consciousness in which we have seen the publication of several hundreds Aromanian books or journal issues. | | | Lacking a formal political structure to decide on standard rules for writing, and, more important, to ensure the enforcement of these rules, once selected, the Aromanians had to find alternative ways. | | | This group has also published, in the "Editura Dimândarea Pãrinteascã", several books in Aromanian as well as in the Romanian language. |

| | That is, at least in part, because for a long time it was spoken by people who lived in the mountains and who had little contact with the outside world. | | | Many, though not all, Vlachs in neighboring countries have largely assimilated, in some cases losing their language and becoming obscure ethnic subgroups. | | | Greeks claim them because Athens considers all members of the Orthodox faith to be Greek -- and all Vlachs are at least nominally Orthodox -- and also because of the presence of large numbers of sedentary Hellenized Vlachs, known as Kutsovlachs, in northern Greece. |

| | In other parts of Serbia and in Ukraine, Romanian communities have very few rights regarding the use and preservation of their language in schools, press, administration and institutions. | | | Whether the Romanians are the descendants of these people that abandoned the area and settled south of Danube or of the people that remained in Dacia is a matter of debate. | | | Romanian is spoken mostly in Romania, Moldova, Ukraine, Hungary, Serbia and Montenegro, Bulgaria, but there are also Romanian language speakers in countries like Canada, United States, Germany, Israel, Australia and New Zealand, mainly due to post-World War II emigration. |

| | Sorin Olteanu's theory that Thracian and Dacian were Centum languages in their earlier period | | | In 1975 Ivan Duridanov publishes his Ezikyt na trakite ('The Language of the Thracians' essay) in which a number of Thracian words (cited and conjectured) are given Balto-Slavic cognates and alleged Balto-Slavic cognates. | | | The Thracian language is generally considered to have belonged to the Satem group of Indo-European languages, and is usually considered to have been on the same language branch as the extinct Dacian language (viewed as a northern dialect of Thracian), though some Thracologists think Dacian may have been a separate language. |
