Abstract

In my paper, I wish to trace some ofthe typical features affecting an ethnic community, that of the so-called Moldavian Csángó villages situated in Northern-East Romania. Moldavian Csángós constitute a community of Hungarian origin living on the margin of the Hungarian language area. Its members are distinguished from the surrounding neighbours not only by their Roman Catholic religion but also by their specific rural traditions. The location nowadays emblematically exemplifies the blending ofthe local colours of traditional communities, the East-European way ofindustrialisation as well as modernization at the end ofthe 20lh century.
