A ''județ'' ((:ʒuˈdet͡s), plural ''județe'' (:ʒuˈdet͡se)) is an administrative division in Romania, and was also used from 1998 to 2003 in Moldova, before that country returned to raions. ''Județ'' translates into English as "jurisdiction", but is commonly rendered as county (the preferred term for that being ''comitat'' in Romanian). There are 41 ''județe'' in Romania, divided into municipii (cities), ''orașe'' (towns) and ''comune'' (communes). Each ''județ'' has a capital or county town where local and national institutions are headquartered. The central government is represented by one prefect in every ''județ''. ==Etymology== In the Romanian Principalities, the ''județ'' was an office with administrative and judicial functions, corresponding to both judge and mayor. The word is etymologically rooted in the Latin "judicium", and is therefore cognate to other administrative institutions like the Sardinian ''giudicati'', or terms like ''jurisdiction'' and ''judge''. In Romanian, the term ''județ'' does not take an initial capital unless it is the first word of sentence. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Județ」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
