About the Romanian Language

The Romanian language is a Romance language, meaning it comes from Latin like French, Spanish and Italian. It has 66% Latin-based words and 20% Slavic-based words.

Romanian is also the most spoken language in Moldova, which is northeast of Romania. In Moldova, they refer to Romanian as Moldavian. However, there are certain differences, such as the dialect and a Moldavian accent.

Romanian descended from the Vulgar Latin spoken in the Roman provinces of Southeastern Europe. Roman inscriptions show that Latin was primarily used to the north of the so-called Jireček Line (a hypothetical boundary between the predominantly Latin- and Greek-speaking territories of the Balkan Peninsula in the Roman Empire), but the exact territory where Proto-Romanian (or Common Romanian) developed cannot certainly be determined. Most regions where Romanian is now widely spoken—Bessarabia, Bukovina, Crișana, Maramureș, Moldova, and significant parts of Muntenia—were not incorporated in the Roman Empire. Other regions—Banat, western Muntenia, Oltenia and Transylvania—formed the Roman province of Dacia Traiana for about 170 years. According to the "continuity" theory, modern Romanian is the direct descendant of the Latin dialect of Dacia Traiana and developed primarily in the lands now forming Romania; the concurring "immigrationist" theory maintains that Proto-Romanian was spoken in the lands to the south of the Danube and Romanian-speakers settled in most parts of modern Romania only centuries after the fall of the Roman Empire.

Most scholars agree that two major dialects developed from Common Romanian by the 10th century. Daco-Romanian (the official language of Romania and Moldova) and Istro-Romanian (a language spoken by no more than 2,000 people in Istria) descended from the northern dialect. Two other languages, Aromanian and Megleno-Romanian, developed from the southern version of Common Romanian. These two languages are now spoken in lands to the south of the Jireček Line.

Romanian Document Translation

Standard Romanian is uniform across Romania, though documents from the Republic of Moldova use an identical language historically designated as "Moldovan" (now officially recognised as Romanian). Some older Moldovan documents from the Soviet period may be in Russian or use Cyrillic-script Romanian. Documents from Romanian-speaking communities in Serbia's Vojvodina follow Serbian administrative formats.

Romanian Document Types

Key Romanian civil documents include certificat de nastere (birth certificate), certificat de casatorie (marriage certificate), and diploma de bacalaureat (secondary education diploma).

Romanian is the official language of Romania and the Republic of Moldova, and an official language of the European Union. It has co-official status in the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina in Serbia. Romanian documents follow EU-harmonised civil registry formats, and since 2007 EU accession, many Romanian documents include multilingual standard form headers.

Industry Requirements

The Legal Practice Board of Western Australia governs the legal profession in WA. The Law Society of Western Australia is the professional association, and the Legal Services and Complaints Committee handles disciplinary matters. At the federal level, the Attorney-General's Department oversees legal policy.

Key documents requiring translation include court orders and judgments, statutory declarations and affidavits, powers of attorney, contracts and commercial agreements, wills and probate documents, police clearance certificates from overseas jurisdictions, and family law documentation including custody agreements and divorce decrees from foreign courts.

All foreign-language documents tendered as evidence in Australian courts must be accompanied by a NAATI-certified translation. The Supreme Court of Western Australia and the Federal Court require certified translations for any non-English exhibits, and law firms routinely specify NAATI certification for client documents from overseas.

Perth's legal sector handles substantial cross-border commercial work driven by the resources industry, with firms like Herbert Smith Freehills, Allens, and Clayton Utz maintaining large Perth offices. Family law and migration law practices across the city regularly require NAATI-certified translations of personal documents from South-East Asian, African, and Middle Eastern jurisdictions.
