DISAMBIGUATION - From ChatGPT

User Why are the gypsies in Romania called Roma? ChatGPT The term "Roma" used to refer to the Romani people, including those in Romania, has a complex origin. The Romani people are an ethnic group with origins in the Indian subcontinent, specifically the northwestern regions like Rajasthan and Punjab. They began migrating to Europe and other parts of the world around the 10th century. The term "Roma" is believed to come from a word in the Romani language, which means "people." Over time, this term became widely used to refer to the Romani people across Europe. In many languages, the term "Gypsy" (or its local equivalent) was traditionally used to refer to the Romani people. However, this term is now often considered derogatory due to its association with stereotypes and discrimination. In Romania, as in other parts of Europe, the term "Roma" is used to more accurately and respectfully identify this ethnic group. It's important to note that while "Roma" is a term that encompasses a diverse group of people with their own unique cultures, languages, and traditions, it's also a term that helps to unify and give identity to this often marginalized group. User So what about the Romani (gypsy) vs Romanian (all people living in Romania)? They seem to name the very same people. ChatGPT The terms "Romani" (referring to the ethnic group) and "Romanian" (referring to the citizens of Romania) are often confused due to their similar spellings and pronunciations, but they refer to entirely different groups of people. Romani (Gypsy): This term refers to an ethnic group originating from the Indian subcontinent. The Romani people, often colloquially known as "Gypsies" (a term now considered pejorative by many), have a distinct language and culture. They are a diasporic ethnicity found in various countries around the world, with a significant presence in Europe, including Romania. The Romani language belongs to the Indo-Aryan branch of the Indo-European language family. Romanian: This term refers to the people who are citizens of Romania or of Romanian descent. The term also refers to the Romance language spoken in Romania and Moldova. Romanian culture, language, and identity are distinct from those of the Romani people. The Romanian language is a Romance language, stemming from Latin, quite distinct from the Romani language. The similarity in the names is coincidental and has led to some confusion. However, it's important to differentiate between the two as they refer to very different cultural, linguistic, and ethnic identities.

La mulți ani România! La mulți ani prieteni!

The Great Union (Romanian: Marea Unire) or Great Union of 1918 (Romanian: Marea Unire din 1918) is the name under which Romanian historians or Romanians in general commonly refer in Romanian historiography to the series of political unifications the Kingdom of Romania had with several of the so-called Romanian historical regions, starting with Bessarabia in 27 March 1918, continuing with Bukovina in 28 November 1918 and finalizing with Transylvania (on its broad meaning) in 1 December 1918 with the declaration of the union of this region with Romania in the city of Alba Iulia.

The Arizona American-Romanian Cultural Collaborative (ARCC) started in 2019 from a desire to showcase and promote the Romanian culture in the communities where its founders and fellow Romanians live and work. This desire emerged from the strong confidence – reinforced by the worldwide recognition of Romanian arts – that the culture of Romania can constitute an inspiring and powerful presence in Arizona, one of the most diverse states in the US. The approximately 85,000 ethnic Romanian who nowadays call the Grand Canyon State home come from a beautiful country, with a lively and influential culture. Arizona ARCC wishes to feature Romanian culture and the variety of its art forms, from theater, literature and visual arts to traditional crafts, food, music, photography, and more.

Romania's National Day - On December 1st, Romania celebrates its National Day (Great Union Day), a day representing the freedom and unification of all regions.

In Romania, December 1st is more than the official beginning of winter. On this day, in 1918, Romania commemorates the unification of Transylvania, Bessarabia, and Bukovina, with the Old Romanian Kingdom (composed of Wallachia and Moldavia). But despite the fact that almost 100 years passed since the Great Union, Romania's National Day wasn't always celebrated on December 1st.

Romanian is not a Latin Language, rather Latin is a Romanian language

Micheal Ledwith is today the dean of St. Peter College, former chairman of the Conference of the Heads of Irish Universities and former member of the leadership of the European Universities Rectors Conference. As a former advisor to Pope John Paul the 2nd he had access to the vast library of the Vatican that also houses ancient texts which are not available to average historians. This is what he has to say: "... anyway even though Latin is the language of the Catholic Church and obviously the language of the Roman Empire much later and, as I suppose, people don't always know, Romanian is a Latin language I think what is not often remembered is that Romanian, or the ancestry of Romanian, is from where the Latin language came, not vice versa. In other words, Romanian is not a Latin Language, rather Latin is a Romanian language." (Source: YouTube video - History of DACIA part 3 Thracians - Istoria Daciei partea 3 Tracii )
