New York has one of the larger Romanian communities in the US, with Astoria and Jackson Heights in Queens as traditional Romanian-American neighborhoods. Heritage learners — children and grandchildren of Romanian immigrants — are a significant and growing segment of the NYC Romanian learner community.
Romanian: The Romance Language of Eastern Europe
Romanian is the only Romance language spoken in Eastern Europe — a direct descendant of Latin, like Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese. This gives Romance-language speakers a structural and vocabulary advantage that no other Eastern European language offers.
Romanian retains Latin roots more faithfully than any other Romance language in some respects. Speakers of Spanish, French, Italian, or Portuguese will recognise hundreds of words immediately — 'om' (man), 'apă' (water), 'casă' (house).
Romanian uses the Latin alphabet with a few additional letters (ă, â, î, ș, ț). There is no new script to learn — you can start reading Romanian text from day one.
Romanian is an official language of the European Union. With 24 million native speakers and over 4 million diaspora speakers in Spain, Italy, and Western Europe, it has real practical value.
Romanian has absorbed vocabulary from Bulgarian, Slavic languages, Turkish, and Hungarian through centuries of contact. This makes it distinctive within Romance — some vocabulary will be unfamiliar even to Spanish speakers, creating interesting learning moments.
Unlike Spanish or French, Romanian retains a simplified case system from Latin — nominative/accusative and genitive/dative are merged, but cases exist. This is manageable, especially for learners who know German, Russian, or Polish.
With large Romanian communities in Spain, Italy, UK, France, and Germany, Romanian is one of the most accessible Eastern European languages to hear, practise, and connect with in daily Western European life.
