Status of Moldovan
In 2013, the Republic of Molodova declared that Romanian and Moldovan were two names for the same language. The term Romanian was to be used for official purposes. (Library of Congress News Watch).
Some people in Moldova may still use the term Moldovan and there are some dialectal differences. For instance, the 2017 site for the President of Moldova uses the term 'Moldovan' on his Moldovan Presidential website. However, the general Modovan Government site uses the term 'Romanian.'
