The state language of Moldova is Romanian which is the native language for 76% of the population, and is also spoken as primary language by other ethnic minorities. Gagauz, Russian and Ukrainian languages are also granted official regional status in Gagauzia and/or Transnistria. ==Official language== (詳細はMSSR declared Moldovan, written in the Latin script, the sole state language, intending for it to serve as a primary means of communication between all citizens of the republic. The law also speaks of a common Moldovan-Romanian linguistic identity. In 1991, the Declaration of Independence of Moldova called the official language Romanian.〔(Declaration of Independence of the Republic of Moldova )〕 The 1994 Constitution of Moldova stated that "the national language of the Republic of Moldova is Moldovan, and its writing is based on the Latin alphabet."〔(Article 13, line 1 - of Constitution of Republic of Moldova )〕 In December 2013, a decision of the Constitutional Court of Moldova ruled that the Declaration of Independence takes precedence over the Constitution and the state language should be called "Romanian".〔(Moldovan court rules official language is 'Romanian,' replacing Soviet-flavored 'Moldovan' ) at foxnews.com〕 Most linguists consider literary Romanian and Moldovan identical, with the glottonym "Moldovan" used in certain political contexts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Marian Lupu: Româna și moldoveneasca sunt aceeași limbă )〕 However, in 2003, the then Communist government adopted a political document stating that one of the priorities of the national politics of the Republic of Moldova is the ensurance of the existence of the Moldovan language.〔The law regarding approval of the National Political Conception of the Republic of Moldova stipulates that "''The conception is rooted in the historically established truth and confirmed by the common literary treasure: Moldovan nation and Romanian nation use a common literary form "which is based on the live spring of the popular talk from Moldova" - a reality which impregnates the national Moldovan language with a specific peculiar pronunciation, a certain well known and appreciated charm. Having the common origin; common basic lexical vocabulary, the national Moldovan language and national Romanian language keep each their lingvonim/glotonim as the identification sign of each nation: Moldovan and Romanian.''"〕〔 The subject taught in schools has been called "Romanian language" since the Declaration of Independence in 1991.〔http://edu.md/file/docs/File/Untitled_FR11.pdf〕 In the 2004 census, 2,564,542 people (75.8% of the population of the country) declared their native language "Moldovan" or "Romanian", while 2,495,977 (73.8%) speak it as first language in daily use. Apart from being the first language of use for 94.5% of ethnic Moldovans and 97.6% of ethnic Romanians, the language is also spoken as primary by 5.8% of ethnic Russians, 7.7% of ethnic Ukrainians, 2.3% of ethnic Gagauz, 8.7% of ethnic Bulgarians, and 14.4% of other ethnic minorities. 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「Languages of Moldova」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
