Summary/Abstract: Тhe paper is part of a sociolinguistic study of residents of Star Bisnov, Romania, which will show the language competence of Banat Bulgarians with regards to Romanian and international vocabulary. To achieve this survey cards with lists of words were used, with the interviewed marking a degree of familiarity with each word. The main social and demographic factor by which the interviewed were grouped was age, but correlations were found on other factors as well. The study was successful, showing new tendencies in word usage, which will be the basis for a new, more thorough study of the manner of speaking itself, as well as language attitude of the subjects in particular.
