Csango minority culture in Romania (6627 words) |
 | Csangos speak an early form of Hungarian and are associated with ancient traditions, and a great diversity of folk art and culture, which is of exceptional value for Europe. |
| For centuries, the self-identity of the Csangos was based on the Roman Catholic religion and the Hungarian language spoken in the family. |
| According to the 1992 census, 1,306 of the 1,352 Csangos in Moldavia are Roman Catholics. |
| HUNSOR - Csango-hungarians for UNESCO's "Cultural World Heritage"! (1218 words) |
| The Csangos, whose culture is threatened with extinction by an intolerant society in the midst of which they live, deserves the protection of the UNESCO imprimatur. |
| The Csango ballads collected by the famous Hungarian ethnographer, Zoltan Kallos, who lived with the Csangos from 1958-1966, reveal a beautiful and poetic style of Hungarian which is rarely spoken today, even in Hungary and Transylvania. |
| It is not an exaggeration to say that the Csango people represent the cradle of the Hungarian culture, for it is they who have preserved the customs and traditions that have slowly transformed or disappeared from their closest Hungarian brothers and neighbors, the Szeklers of Transylvania. |
