Comments

(en)

On August 31, 1989, the Supreme Soviet of the Moldavian SSR passed landmark legislation adopting Moldovan (Romanian) as the sole state language and restoring the use of the Latin script. The law required a transition from the Cyrillic alphabet to Latin, aimed to solidify Moldovan-Romanian linguistic identity, and mandated the language’s use in official, educational, and cultural spheres.
