Basic Phrases of the Romanian Language

Romanian, officially called as Limba Romana, is spoken by more than 25 million people worldwide. This language is primarily spoken in Romania and Moldova. Romanian is an off-shoot of Proto-Romanian language, which in turn descended from Vulgar Latin. The Romanian language belongs to the family of Romance languages.

Though descended from Latin, the Romanian language has very little influence from other Romance languages. During the course of its evolution, Romanian has been influenced by Greek and Latin to a great extent. The Romanian alphabet is based on Latin alphabets, with minor changes.

The following phrases serve as a ready reckoner to get an insight into the Romanian language.
