According to the article, only about 30% of Roma in Moldova speak Romanes, with transmission to younger generations becoming increasingly difficult due to various factors, including lack of standardized writing and integration into other linguistic environments.

The Agency for Interethnic Relations emphasizes the importance of protecting the linguistic and cultural heritage of the Roma community, with initiatives like a new curriculum on Roma traditions and the first certified Romani interpreter in Moldova.

Events are organized to celebrate World Romani Language Day, aiming to promote the language and cultural identity of the Roma, while addressing issues like illiteracy and school dropout rates within the community.
