The main reason for speaking about Moldovan and (Daco)Romanian as separate languages is political - one language per country. But the differences between them is definitely not larger than between for instance German from Germany and German from Austria. There are of course some institutions and shops and things like that which have different names because they are found in different societies, but from a purely linguistical point of view Moldovan and (Daco)Romanian are just dialects of one common language.
It quite another matter with Aromanian (and Meglenoromanian and Stroromanian, insofar they still are spoken), Aromanian is so far from standard Dacoromanian as spoken in Romania that I hardly can read it, and if I heard it I would probably not be able to understand it. Nevertheless Aromanian is usually considered a dialect of Romanian, but you could definitely choose to call it a language in its own right. 1 person has voted this message useful |
