Missing Section

"ct" → "pt"
"an" → "âin"

These are correct (or quasi-correct), but they're not related to this article: in here' we're talking only about the word Romania/Romanian. They would be more appropriate in an article about phonetical changes from Latin to Romanian. bogdan 10:54, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology of Romania Redirect

Has a talk page linking here, so sb was too lazy about their page move.

In any case, this is an excellent page, but shifted redirect to Romania#Etymology to allow hatnote linking to both pages at the List of country-name etymologies for cross-referencing purposes. That's an improvement for keeping etymology edits consistent, since that section links here, but this page (sensibly) doesn't really point towards that mainspace area. Since this page is a better fit for normal pages discussing Romanian etymology, shifted links from the other two linked pages Neacsu's letter and History of the term Vlach to this page directly. — LlywelynII 23:20, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The statement "replacing the Eastern Orthodox Byzantine Empire with a Roman Catholic empire" is completely wrong. In fact the historical facts can be stated as "replacing Romania with a Latin empire". The ownership of Roman and Romania belonged to Constantinopolis. Rome was the owner of the Latin identity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mousastefan (talk • contribs) 03:02, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The sentence "In the first half of the 18th century the erudite prince Dimitrie Cantemir systematically used the name Ţara Românească for designating all three Principalities inhabited by Romanians.[17]" is misleading. Actually Dimitrie Cantemir states "Hronicon a toata Ţara Româniasca (carea apoi s-u împărţit in Moldova, Munteniasca si Ardealul) din descălecatul ei de al Traian, impăratul Râmului", which makes a big difference. Because he points to an historical fact, the existence of the Roman province, called Dakia, established by Traian, the Roman Emperor, and by extrapolation he calls it "Ţara Româniasca", comprising even lands which never belonged to the Roman province Dakia, such as Moldavia and Valachia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mousastefan (talk • contribs) 03:31, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Rumania → Romania "after World War II"

The section "Etymology of Romania (România)" says

In English, the name of the country was originally borrowed from French "Roumania" (<"Roumanie"), then evolved into "Rumania", but was eventually replaced after World War II by the name used officially: "Romania".

Unfortunately this is not referenced. I recall that when I was growing up in the US in the 1960s we were taught "Rumania". I wonder if there is a good reference that can pin down the time of the change more specifically -- "after WWII" gives the impression of "right after WWII", and I wonder if it really was later than that.

Also, the above passage refers to the name used officially. This needs to be clarified -- used officially by what government: US, UK, or Romania? Duoduoduo (talk) 19:22, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
