In the early 2010s, the Romanian community was the largest immigrant
group in Spain, and the prolonged contact between Romanian and Spanish
fostered the emergence and development of Rumaniola, a linguistic
variety that has been extensively studied with regard to its features,
intergenerational transmission, and use in both spoken and digital
communication. Over the past fifteen years, however, the
sociolinguistic context has changed significantly: the Romanian
community has declined in size, a second generation has become firmly
established, and certain sociolinguistic norms have gradually
stabilized. As a result, the term Rumaniola appears to refer today not
only to a linguistic variety but also to a possible marker of social
and cultural identity.
This thematic panel aims to examine these developments and bring
together research on language contact, variation, language change,
identity dynamics, and contemporary communicative practices within the
Romanian community in Spain.
