Romanian language in Serbia Status of the Romanian language in Serbia

The Romanian language is widely spoken in Serbia. This country hosts large native Romanian-speaking populations, which can be divided into the ethnic Romanians in the autonomous region of Vojvodina and the Vlachs of the Timok Valley, a geographical region in Central Serbia. The former speak the Banat Romanian dialect, identify as Romanians and have full rights within the autonomous region. In fact, Romanian is one of the six officially recognized languages of Vojvodina. On the other hand, the Vlachs speak archaic varieties of the Banat and Oltenian dialects, but they do not identify as Romanians and their language is also not recognized as Romanian within Serbia. A "Vlach language" has gone under attempted standardization in the country, which would go along with a Cyrillic alphabet for the Vlachs. This has been criticized in Romania, and attempts to bring Romanian-language resources and education to the Timok Vlachs have been blocked by the Serbian authorities.
