Summary/Abstract: The articles focuses on the diachronic evolution of the Crișana dialect, analysing how ethnic and political interactions over the last millennium have reshaped the local linguistic landscape. The study tracks the process through which the original Daco-Roman foundation integrated successive layers of influence (Magyar, German), demonstrating that phonetic and lexical transformation are the direct result of interethnic coexistence. Particular emphasis is placed on the dialect’s ability to maintain its structural identity despite external social and political pressures.
