Elementa linguae daco-romanae sive valachicae ("Elements of the Daco-Roman or Vlach/Wallachian language") is a Romanian grammar book written by Samuil Micu-Klein and revised by Gheorghe Șincai in 1780 at the Saint Barbara College in Vienna. It was printed by Joseph Typography, owned by the nobleman of Kurzböck, in the same year. The book, and subsequently the year, are considered the starting point of the Romanian language's modern form.[1]
