::Dude, what are you talking about? Did you even read 2 phrases of the wikipage ]? '''Moldovan, also known historically as Moldavian, was a local name of the Romanian language in Moldova.''' So it literally says it was the local name of the Romanian language (not even valid anymore, as it's a defunct name) yer you still claim Moldovan is a separate language. What's your point here? Your arguments make no sense.
::Your edit attempts to shoehorn "Moldovan language" seem to be the ones coming from someone with a nationalist POV push. It's crystal clear that Moldovan was just a local name and not a language as you claim. As it has never been one. You can find all of this perfectly explained here: ] Wikipage.

Reminds me of Filipino. The govt wanted to downplay that they were imposing one ethnic language, Tagalog, over the others by calling it "Filipino" and claiming that it was a different language. This ran into a speed bump because Filipino citizens are allowed translators in court if they do not speak fluent Filipino. One defendant demanded a translator because he only spoke Tagalog. The judge ruled that providing a translator would be frivolous because Filipino ''is'' Tagalog.

There is a difference here, in that Moldavian is written in Cyrillic. Not that that makes it a language, of course, but it does affect govt publications. I presume that that aspect of the standard is already defunct, at least in govt-controlled areas, in which case all that's left is the choice of name. I think "Romanian (officially 'Moldovan')" should be adequate, but added "pending change in law" for clarification. ] (]) 20:07, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
:{{tq|I presume that that aspect of the standard is already defunct, at least in govt-controlled areas, in which case all that's left is the choice of name.}} that is correct. It is on Moldova's constitution that "Moldovan" is to be written in the Latin alphabet. This alphabet portion will be removed once Romanian replaces Moldovan as it will be superfluous. And that Filipino/Tagalog note is an interesting addition. ] ] ] 20:26, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
::"Moldavian" as you call it is Stalin's invention. At first, the Moldovan SSR adopted Romanian orthography, but when exporting revolution to Romania failed, Stalin invented bastardized Cyrillic Moldovan. That is, it was not a return to Cyrillic Romanian. "Moldavian" was never a real language, only an orthographic tool of a totalitarian state to isolate the same people divided between Romania and Moldova. ]<small> ►]</small> 01:34, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
:::Well, to attribute this "invention" to Stalin would be a superoversimplification. Please see the detailed exposition of the issue in "]". There were plenty of moldovenists even before Stalin grabbed power. ] (]) 15:51, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

== Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 18 October 2023 ==


The first sentence of the lede states <i>"Moldova, officially the Republic of Moldova, is a landlocked country in Eastern Europe, <b>on the northeastern corner of the Balkans</b>"</i> (emphasis added). This is a peculiar claim, first because "the Balkan states" generally refers to Bulgaria and the nations on the eastern shore of the Adriatic Sea (Serbia, Kosovo, North Macedonia, etc.), which Moldova is nowhere near. But there is, in fact another mountain range that lies <u>between</u> the Baltic Mountains and Moldova: the Carpathians. So to describe Moldova as being "on the northeast corner of the Balkans" is to dismiss the fact that there are at least 150 miles/240km of plains, plus the Carpathian Range, <u>between</u> the Baltic Range and the closest point of Moldova (although there is still 50 miles/80km between the Carpathians and the closest part of Moldova, so "on the corner" is a stretch). If no one can argue persuasively why this should not be changed, I will correct it.<br>] (]) 00:18, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

'''Vandalization alert:''' the sentence/phrase "pierogi (called 'Chiroște' in Moldovan) are another traditional staple and are often stuffed with a soft cheese in Moldova." is factually incorrect as any Moldovan/Romanian person may confirm.

'''Proposed change:''' Delete the sentence/phrase


The etymology section notes that the German name for the Moldova River is Moldau. Moldau is the German name for the Vltava River in Czechia. The German for Moldova is Moldova.

Pierogi is a Polish food, and it's something akin to dumplings. No such word "Chiroște" exists in Romanian: https://dexonline.ro/definitie/chiroște (or 'Moldovan' as it was written by the person who vandalized the article), neither in cultural register of speech nor in informal register of speech anywhere in Moldova. ] (]) 23:15, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

Please replace Balkans with Carpathians in the first sentence: Moldova, officially the Republic of Moldova, is a landlocked country in Eastern Europe, on the northeastern corner of the Balkans.

The Balkan Mountains are located south of the Carpathian Mountains. The Balkans are not in the vicinity of Moldova. I believe the author meant to speak about the Carpathians instead of the Balkans. The intended description of Moldova located "on the northeastern corner of the Carpathians" is correct. Sebpop (talk) 02:52, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
