=)))))))))) Really ?????? What the fuck people . Stop regurgitating shit

Romanian is a LATIN based language.
So yes, it will be similar with italian, but this has nothing to do with “italy”. Because it also has a lot of similarities with Spanish, greek, French languages . You know ? LATIN Based languages! ( or any other latin influenced language)

When the modern version language was redone (as many other languages went through these kind if changes) it was made to sound more like italian or French due to those times politics .

Jesus fucking christ

Just to clear things up : I completely agree that nationalism is a hell of drug, but i think you’re misunderstanding the “nothing to do with italy” part

The original romanian person from this thread meant : Romanian/Romania has nothing to do with the Roman empire (italy). This is a bit complicated. Because it somewhat does …as Romanian territories were under the Roman empire conquered territories (from 106 -274 years ,our era) but so were the rest of the europe :)). History of europe is complicated..

The original thread picture is correct. It shows how communist propaganda wanted to change or distort the reality in a way that was more “beneficial” to their narative.

And by the looks of it, i’ll also have to explain this :

Each country had their own version of “communism”. These versions had similarities but also their own particularities. The version that happened in Romania was heavily based on somewhat ‘brainwashing’ the people to believe their nationality (and roots) is somewhat different than the rest of the surrounding countries. This was done to counter the pesky Russian influence. This is what you see in the original picture. It was teaching the kids in school that the country is associated with Central Europe (closer to german based area) rather than pesky Russians. :P
