Summary/Abstract: The intent of this approach is to outline a general framework of the historical and cultural conditions of literary Romanian language during the late 18th century and the next century, without aiming to be exhaustive. The very important modernization of the culture of Romanians and, as an integral part of it, of our literary language, is determined by the economic and social progress experienced by Romanian countries. With all the hesitations and orientations sometimes inconsistent with our national spirit, the success of the period is visible: literary Romanian language follows an ascending process that will inevitably lead to its stabilization and modernization.
