Evoluţia istroromânilor din perspectivă demografică
The Istroromanians’ evolution. A demographical prospect
The Croatian Goran Filipi and also the researcher Lucian Miclaus make important references to highly evolved demographical diminution of the Romanian inhabitants of the Istrian Peninsula. The Istroromanians faced and continue to experience another unjust historical process: their continuously deprivation of identity. We can scarcely find nowadays more than 250 speaker of their traditional idiom; the Istroromanian language as it was observed and analyzed by specialists from Romania or other European countries.
