Regional words in Istoriia oștirei ce s-au făcut asupra Morèii la anul 7223 (1715)

The present work aims to make the inventory of regional words from a manuscript written in 1715. It is found that most of the words are of South Slavic (Bulgarian and Serbian) and Turkish origin. If the vocabulary related to war (wea¬pons, military ranks) and the internal organization of the Ottoman Empire exceeds in words of Turkish origin, and that related to church architecture and the urban organization of localities are characterized by the preponderance of words of Greek origin, when talking about life rural or describing landscapes or list some animals, the vocabulary used is Wallachian, having an obvious regional character. It is also observed that most of them register their first attestation in Romanian. The importance of the text for the history of the literary Romanian language is emphasized.
