Raporturi româno-huţule în concepţia lui Mihai Eminescu
Romanian - Hutsul language references in Mihai Eminescu's apprehension

Summary/Abstract: Eminescu was strongly impressed by the comon linguistic element between the Hutsul and the Romanian languages. He supported the comon linguistic background of the Hutsuls and the Dacian-Romanians. The great poet was relying on the fact that, although these population speaks in a language in which Romanians can not speak, they seem to be able to understand it. The phenomenon is viceversa effectual because the Hutsuls are able to understand The Romanians as well when they are spoken to by means of the Romanian language. Ion Nistor brings a unique contribution in this field, based on inovative historical documents that remained unknown while the poet was still alive, that demonstrate the fact that the Hutsuls come from a Ruthene provenance but at the same time these documents show that the Hutsuls modified their linguistic appearance due to the assimilation of the Romanian population who were in the minority at that point. The assimilation created deep imprints in the Hutsul language which uses up until today of numerous Romanian and Romance words.
