They are an East Romance people descended from Romanized Dacians of historical Wallachia, Moldavia, and Transylvania, predominantly Romanian Orthodox, noted for a Latin language preserved amid Slavic and Hungarian neighbors and strong rural folk-culture traditions. They mostly adhere to Eastern Orthodox Christianity and Romanian is their primary language.
