The Wallachian dialect (''subdialectul / graiul muntean / muntenesc'') is one of the several dialects of the Romanian language (Daco-Romanian). Its geographic distribution covers approximately the historical region of Wallachia, occupying the southern part of Romania, roughly between the Danube and the Southern Carpathians. Standard Romanian, in particular its phonology, is largely based on Wallachian.〔Mioara Avram, Marius Sala, ''May we introduce the Romanian language to you?'', The Romanian Cultural Foundation Publishing House, 2000, ISBN 973-577-224-8, ISBN 978-973-577-224-6, p. 111〕 As with all other Romanian dialects, Wallachian is distinguished primarily by its phonetic characteristics and only marginally by morphological, syntactical, and lexical features. The Wallachian dialect is the only member of the southern grouping of Romanian dialects. All the other dialects and speech varieties are classified in the northern grouping, whose most typical representative is the Moldavian dialect. The Wallachian and the Moldavian dialects are the only two that have been consistently identified and recognized by linguists. They are clearly distinguished in dialect classifications made by Heimann Tiktin, Mozes Gaster, Gustav Weigand, Sextil Pușcariu, Sever Pop, Emil Petrovici, Romulus Todoran, Ion Coteanu, Alexandru Philippide, Iorgu Iordan, Emanuel Vasiliu, and others, whereas the other dialects and speech varieties have proven to be considerably more controversial and difficult to classify. ==Geographic distribution== The Wallachian dialect is spoken in the southern part of Romania, in the region of Wallachia. More accurately, it covers the following counties: *in Muntenia: Argeș, Brăila (southern half), Buzău (southern half), Călărași, Dîmbovița, Giurgiu, Ialomița, Ilfov and Bucharest, Prahova, Teleorman; *in Oltenia: Dolj, Gorj (eastern part), Mehedinți (eastern part), Olt, Vîlcea; *in Dobrogea: Constanța and the southern half of the Tulcea County (in the northern half the Moldavian dialect is spoken). *in southern Transylvania: Brașov and the southern part of the Sibiu County. The most typical features of the Wallachian dialect are found in the central part of this area, specifically in the following counties: Argeș, Călărași, Dîmbovița, Giurgiu, Ialomița, Olt, and Teleorman. 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「Wallachian dialect」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
