I think it is fair to say that no language "belongs" to a country, it
belongs to all speakers... what about the hundreds of thousands of
people who write Moldovan in Cyrillic?
Also I'm curious what Geni feels about them - using "mo" to refer to
Cyrillic Moldovan is not, in my view, "inaccurate", although it is not
as specific as perhaps it sh/could be.

That's very true, that's why I'm asking, that's why I'm (and others
too) iritated to see "Молдовеняскэ" on your front page, just like in the
soviet occupation times.

Hoi,
French, English, German, Tamil and many other languages are not only
spoken
in the "country of origin". The Moldovan language has often been
successfully identified as and called Romanian. When in this other area of
the world the language that you claim to be "your own" is written in
Cyrillic then it must be tough on you.
Given that for all kinds of reasons the wikipedia you refer to may be
removed makes the argument that the language is not yours anyway any less
potent.
Thanks,

Hello everyone,
20 years ago on 27 august 1989, 700 000 of moldovans (of a 4 millions
popoulation) went to the center of Chișinău (the capital of Moldova) to
the
*Piața Marii Adunări Naționale*, the biggest
square in the city, and
shout
"limbă alfabet" (language and the
alphabet) and for country
independence,
that event is called "Great National Assembly" (Marea Adunare Națională)
which declared it's language "Moldavian" and it's script
"LATIN".
(here are a documental movie about this event
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BSfmhLOxO0, in the 4th part you can find
that declaration)
Please respect that wish and delete the cyrllic
mo.wikipedia.org that
claims
to be our language, and remove/change the name of our language written
in
cyrllic "Молдовеняскэ" on your first page
wikipedia.org.
Thank you wikipedia.
