Map of the Romanian dialects, with Oltenian (oltenesc) on the southwest
The Oltenian dialect (Romanian: subdialectul/graiul oltenesc) is a dialect of the Romanian language spoken in the region of Oltenia, in Romania. Regionalisms from Oltenia include cloță (găină in standard Romanian, "chicken"), oichi (ochi, "eye") and a străfiga (a strănuta, "to sneeze").[1] A well-known particularity of the Oltenian dialect is the widespread usage of the simple perfect (perfectul simplu) verb form for both past and present actions.[2] Oltenian is also spoken in the Timok Valley by the Timok Vlachs of Serbia and Bulgaria. Other than Oltenian, they also speak the Banat dialect.[citation needed]
