Romania is a Romance-language country in the middle of a Slavic and Hungarian-speaking neighbourhood, and Romanians are usually quick to point that out. The language is closer to Italian than to anything nearby, which surprises most people who have never heard it.
Internet speeds here are among the fastest in Europe, and the IT scene in Cluj, Timișoara and Bucharest is a common thread in conversation, along with a fairly dry, self-deprecating sense of humour.
A Latin Language With Slavic Neighbours
If you speak Italian, Spanish or French you will recognise a surprising amount of written Romanian. Romanians tend to enjoy demonstrating this, and asking for a sentence to guess at is a genuinely fun opener rather than a chore.
Dracula Is A Tourist Product
Bram Stoker's novel is English fiction; Vlad Țepeș is Romanian history, and the two are not the same story. Mentioning the difference rather than the vampire signals you are talking to a country rather than a theme park.
Cluj, Timișoara And The Tech Belt
Transylvanian cities have become software hubs with a strong student presence, and Timișoara carries its own Habsburg-influenced, multi-ethnic history. Many people you meet either work remotely for foreign companies or have family who emigrated and returned.
A Romance Language In The East
Romanian is a Romance language, related to Italian, Spanish and French, surrounded by Slavic and Hungarian neighbours. Romanians are often surprised how much an Italian or Spanish speaker can understand, and enjoy testing it.
Conversational Etiquette in Romania
- Vampire jokes are tolerated once, not four times.
- Corruption and politics come up often — Romanians are usually the harshest critics themselves.
- Distinguish Romanian from Roma; conflating them is a common and unwelcome mistake.
