Notes

  1. As of 2025, there is a scholarly and political consensus, in both Romania and Moldova, that what was called "the Moldovan language", written in the Moldovan Cyrillic alphabet during the Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (1924–1940) and the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic (1940–1991), was really just another name for the Romanian language. It was merely due to Soviet pressure that this language was written with Cyrillic characters, in an attempt to culturally differentiate Moldova from Romania. The Republic of Moldova resumed writing the language in Latin script in 1989, and declared "Romanian" its official language at independence in 1991. There had been some uncertainty due to the 1994 Constitution of Moldova calling the language "Moldovan", which was amended to "Romanian" in 2023.
