Modern Romanian (Romanian: română modernă) is the historical stage of the Romanian language starting from the end of the 18th century until today. In general, it is agreed that the modern era comprises three distinct periods: the premodern period starting from 1780 and lasting until 1830, the modern period from 1830 until 1880, and the contemporary period after 1881.[1] Modern Romanian is characterized by the development of the Romanian alphabet, initial Latin and Italian lexical items entries, followed by the central role of French in the growth of the Romanian lexis, the development of literary styles, and the standardization of the language.[2][3]
The history of the language during this stage is fused with the blooming of Romanian literature, the influence of great writers often cited along[2] the efforts of institutions, mainly the Romanian Academy, as the main factors for standardization.[4]
Some researchers place the end of this last period between the end of Second World War and the beginning of "Socialist Period", thus separating the current stage of the Romanian language from the Modern one.[5]
