Perhaps we need a new category for the region of Moldavia, as Category:Moldovan Romanian is for the words that are in used in the Republic of Moldova.

For instance, the word rutieră (as a noun, meaning "minibus") is in use only in the Republic of Moldova. Bogdan (talk) 08:07, 9 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Wiktionary does not recognise Moldavian as a separate language anymore, so the Category:Moldovan Romanian comprises even words used in the Romanian region Moldavia. For the record, Moldova in English is not only used for the country, but also the region. --Robbie SWE (talk) 17:16, 9 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Not as a distinct language, but as a dialect. So the dialectal words from the Republic of Moldova should be mixed with those of Moldavia? Bogdan (talk) 18:02, 9 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Isn't the dialect spread beyond the border, into the Republic of Moldova? --Robbie SWE (talk) 19:04, 9 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Well, it was one dialect before the border change in 1812, when the dialect separation began, being accentuated after 1944.
 * The result is that they have both the "old" dialectal words (like pârjoală instead of chiftea) and new ones (like bătută instead of șnițel). Bogdan (talk) 19:19, 9 February 2021 (UTC)


 * I don't see the community opting to accept such a distinction – you can ask in the Tea Room. I think, however, that it would be better to keep the current labelling ("regional, Moldova"), but add a Usage Note where applicable, explaining that this term is mainly used in the Republic of Moldova. --Robbie SWE (talk) 19:49, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
