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 epoch 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] Some researchers place the end of this last category roughly after the Second World War and the "Socialist Period", thus separating the current state of the Romanian language from a different epoch.[2] Modern Romanian is characterized by the development of the Romanian alphabet and modern system of writing, initial Latin and Italian lexical item entries, followed by the central role of French in the development of the Romanian lexis, the development of literary styles, and standardization of the language.[3][4]
The history of the language during this stage is intertwined with the development of Romanian literature, the influence of great writers often cited along[3] with the efforts of institutions, mainly Romanian Academy, as the main factors for standardization.[5]
