context_page_description: Aromanian, also known as Macedo-Romanian or Vlach, is an Eastern Romance language, similar to Megleno-Romanian, or a dialect of the Romanian language spoken in Southeastern Europe. Its speakers are called Aromanians or Vlachs.
  Aromanian shares many features with modern Romanian, including similar morphology and syntax, as well as a large common vocabulary inherited from Latin. An important source of dissimilarity between Romanian and Aromanian is the adstratum languages; whereas Romanian has been influenced to a greater extent by the Slavic languages, Aromanian has been more influenced by Greek, with which it has been in close contact throughout its history.
context_section_description: The grammar and morphology are very similar to those of other Romance languages:
  It has two grammatical numbers: singular and plural (no dual).
  It is a null-subject language.
  Verbs have many conjugations, including:
  A present tense, a preterite, an imperfect, a pluperfect and a future tense in the indicative mood, for statements of fact.
  An imperative mood, for direct commands.
  Three non-finite forms: infinitive, gerund, and past participle.
  Distinct active and passive voices, as well as an impersonal passive voice.
  The Aromanian language has some exceptions from the Romance languages, some of which are shared with Romanian: the definite article is a clitic particle appended at the end of the word, both the definite and indefinite articles can be inflected, and nouns are classified in three genders, with neuter in addition to masculine and feminine.
