Aromanian

Aromanian is a Romance language spoken in the Balkans. It is a descendant of Latin and is closely related to Romanian and Italian. Aromanian is spoken by about 500,000 people in Greece, Albania, Macedonia, and Bulgaria. Aromanian has three dialects: Megleno-Romanian, Pindeano-Romanian, and Aromanian. Megleno-Romanian is spoken in the Meglen region of northern Greece. Pindeano-Romanian is spoken in the Pindus Mountains of northwestern Greece. Aromanian is the standard dialect and is spoken in the rest of Greece and in Albania, Macedonia, and Bulgaria. Aromanian is written in the Latin alphabet. The Aromanian alphabet has 27 letters, including five vowels (a, e, i, o, u) and 22 consonants. There are no capital letters in the Aromanian alphabet. Aromanian vocabulary is mostly derived from Latin. However, there are also many words of Greek origin. Aromanian has borrowed words from Albanian, Turkish, and Slavic languages. Aromanian is a subject–verb–object language. The order of words in a sentence is usually subject–verb–object, but it can also be verb–subject–object. Aromanian has two genders (masculine and feminine) and two numbers (singular and plural). There are no articles in Aromanian. Aromanian is a stress-timed language. This means that the stressed syllable of a word is pronounced more strongly than the unstressed syllables. Stress usually falls on the penultimate syllable of a word. Aromanian is a pro-drop language. This means that the subject of a sentence does not have to be explicitly stated. For example, the sentence “I am going” can be shortened to “(I) go”. Aromanian has a rich verbal morphology. Verbs can be conjugated in six tenses (present, past, future, imperfect, pluperfect, and conditional), three moods (indicative, subjunctive, and imperative), and two voices (active and passive). Verbs can also be inflected for person, number, and gender. Aromanian also has a system of verbal aspect. Verbal aspect is a grammatical category that expresses the way an action is carried out. There are three aspects in Aromanian: perfective, imperfective, and progressive. The perfective aspect is used to describe an action that is completed. The imperfective aspect is used to describe an action that is ongoing. The progressive aspect is used to describe an action that is in progress. Aromanian is a fusional language. This means that grammatical information is expressed by changing the form of a word. For example, the word for “dog”, cãu, changes to cãi when the plural is expressed. Aromanian has a rich system of derivational morphology. This means that new words can be created by adding affixes to existing words. For example, the word for “dog”, cãu, can be changed to cãulariu (“dog-man”) by adding the suffix -ar. Aromanian is a null-subject language. This means that the subject of a sentence does not have to be explicitly stated. For example, the sentence “I am going” can be shortened to “(I) go”. Aromanian has a system of clitic pronouns. Clitic pronouns are pronouns that are attached to a word. For example, the pronoun me can be attached to the verb go to form the clitic pronoun mgo. Aromanian has a system of verbal agreement. This means that the verb agrees with the subject in person, number, and gender. For example, the sentence “I am going” would be conjugated as mgo, whereas the sentence “We are going” would be conjugated as ngãm. Aromanian is a Romance language spoken in the Balkans.
