• It is an old language in European territory. The Romanian people was formed to the North and South of the Danube river in the Carpathian-Danubian-Pontic space, in the hilly and mountainous regions.

The Romanian language formed itself along with the Romanian people.

• The Romanian language is written as it is heard.

• It is a melodious language, with conciseness in expression, due to the decidedly enclitic article.

• The Romanian language has entered the immaterial heritage of UNESCO through the untranslatable word doina. This word expresses emotions and is a noun rich in meaning.

• It is a lush language in terms of the number of words, expressions, sayings. The last edition of The Great Dictionary of the Romanian Language has over 170000 words, without numbering the diminutives.
