rumanas

Rumanas is the Spanish feminine plural demonym used to refer to people from Romania, specifically Romanian women. The corresponding masculine plural is rumanos, and the singular forms are rumana (feminine) and rumano (masculine). In Spanish-speaking contexts, nationality adjectives and nouns agree in gender and number with the people described, so rumanas is used when the subject is a group of Romanian women or female individuals of Romanian origin.

Origin and language: The term derives from Romania, a country in Southeast Europe. The official language is Romanian (română), a Romance language descended from Latin. Romanian uses the Latin alphabet with diacritics and has regional variations in pronunciation and vocabulary.

Geography and population: Romania is located in the Balkan and Carpathian region, bordered by Hungary, Serbia, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Moldova, and the Black Sea. Romanian communities are found worldwide, with significant populations in Europe and North America. Diaspora networks in countries such as Italy, Spain, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States contribute to cultural exchange and bilingual or multilingual communities.

Culture and identity: Rumanas share the broader cultural and historical heritage of Romania, including traditions, cuisine, music, arts, and folklore. Spanish-language usage of rumana/rumano reflects standard gendered forms for demonyms and does not imply a separate ethnic classification beyond Romanian nationality.
