“…The last, 2011 population census, registers a number of 243 Serbian citizens who identify themselves as ethnic Cincari, the ethnonym used in Serbian to refer to this ethnic group (Census 2011), but the number of Aromanian speakers is not mentioned. The estimates, though, put forth a bigger number, which is, however, difficult to establish, due to the well-known mimicry of the people (Nicolau 1993) and the advanced processes of assimilation to the Serbian language and culture (Kahl 2002).…”

The paper offers a critical survey of vulnerable and endangered languages and linguistic varieties in Serbia presented in three international inventories: UNESCO?s Atlas of the World?s Languages in Danger, Ethnologue and The Catalogue of Endangered Languages. As the inventories differ widely in terms of assessing the exact level of language endangerment and vulnerability, and lack to provide empirical support for their assessment, the paper provides thorough information from official local sources, relevant studies and the authors? own field research, when available, on the language categorized as endangered (Aromanian, Banat Bulgarian, Judezmo, Vojvodina Rusyn, Romani), but also presents additional linguistic varieties which have not been registered yet by any of the mentioned inventories (Megleno-Romanian, Bayash Romanian and Vlach Romanian).

“…Zauważana jest też ich zdolność łatwej adaptacji do otaczających warunków społecznych oraz do asymilacji kulturowej. Określeni zostali przez arumuńską badaczkę z Rumunii jako "kameleony Bałkanów" (Nicolau 1993). Mimo to zachowali swój etniczny język, obyczajowość oraz poczucie tożsamości i historycznej wspólnoty.…”

“…Jedną z przyczyn dotychczasowej łatwej asymilacji językowej może być powszechna wśród Arumunów tendencja do współpracy, współdziałania i pokojowych relacji z nie-Wlachami. Arumuni, jak słyszymy od rozmówców i czytamy w literaturze (Nicolau 1993;Kahl 2002), nigdy się nie izolowali i zawsze pozostawali w dobrych relacjach z innymi narodami, o czym sami mówią w wywiadach: "Mamy dobre relacje z tymi ludźmi, nie jest tak, że Arumuni żyją tylko z Arumunami, nie. Ale musimy się organizować, żeby dostać więcej" (Kruszewo, 2007).…”

Since 1962, when Zbigniew Gołąb has published his fundamental study on Aromanian language in Macedonia, in Polish literature, beyond his study, there was a little interest in Aromanians as an ethnic group and in their language. In this article, the author focuses on 1) the changes the Aromanian language has been undergoing in the recent times, 2) how the transformation of the social situation of Aromanians influences the development of the language. In the present days, the social function of the ethnic language is transformed from the language of everyday use to the language as a symbol, label, marker of ethnicity, used in the special occasions. Opinions expressed by Aromanian intellectuals about their ethnic language, role in Aromanian social life, and their dilemmas, sorrows and enthusiasm, as well as activities around the ethnic language are the main objects of interest in the paper. The empirical material, applied to this study, was collected during the anthropological field research the author conducted in the summer seasons from 2007 till 2010 in all countries of residence of Aromanians:

This article is devoted to the contemporary process of the ethnic mobilizing of stateless European peoples. The Aromanians, who live in all the countries of the Balkan peninsula but have never experienced lasting statehood, are an example. Currently, members of the young Aromanian intelligentsia are creating a transnational, supra-state community by evoking old symbols and new myths: the cult of symbolic places, historic events, figures, family micro-histories (genealogies), and a common language and values. Access to modern means of communication plays an important role in the process. In the author’s opinion, a modern transnational people is emerging from the politically unformed — but culturally specific — Romance-language community of the Balkans. The group could be considered a “recovered community,” which is based on an ideological construction utilizing carefully selected elements of common history and culture.
