Why did take such a long time to recognize this common cause of the failure of some modernization projects? One of the reasons is ideological. During the communist era, the “langue de bois”, that lacks accuracy and precision, was the main cause. Why does continue this state of facts even after the communist era? Because there are, we have to admit, some weak points in the Romanian Language, due to the historical particularities of the development of Romania. For instance, the modern Romanian language was created only in the 19th century, and also only in the 19th
century it was written the first grammar of the Romanian language. The century of the Enlightment did not exist in Romania. In the 18th century, the use of the Romanian language as an official state language was forbidden by the Phanariots (the foreign overlords in Romania), who tried hardly to generalize the use of the Greek language in Romania.
As to the favoring the Greek language in Romania against the use of the Romanian language we can quote from Encyclopædia Britannica an unusual laudative analysis which goes against the fundamental rights of the Romanian people: „It is necessary, however, to credit the Phanariots with a quite genuine devotion to the cause of learning and education, which they alone were able to provide inside the oppressed Christian ghetto. The advantages they obtained from the Porte (the Turkish government) for building schools and for developing Greek letters in the Romanian principalities of Moldavia and Walachia that were entrusted to their rule came to play a substantial role in the rebirth of Greece.”
This quotation shows that in the West the real problems of the Romanian language as a conceptual tool to integrate the Romanian population in the modern world are not really understood. Let we notice that "the rebirth of Greece” also meant "the death of Romania". All this was ended by a popular revolt of the Romanian people in 1821. Only after that popular revolt were created the first schools in the Romanian language as an educational system. So the common traceable cause for all the three failed projects presented above is the lack of exhaustive and clear explanatory technical protocols in the Romanian language. This situation is still perpetuated today, because there is no official and recognized profession of "technical writer" in the Romanian language.
Why isn’t corrected this situation by an effort of the Romanian universities? This situation is mainly due to the external pressures over the researchers. Indeed, the principle "Publish or perish" means that the Romanian researcher has to write the scientific papers in English, in order not to "perish". Unfortunately this creates a gap between what the young and performant Romanian scientific researcher does, and what is already deposited as science in the Romanian language, with a clear ontological representation. For instance, when asked about the precession of the equinoxes, a young Romanian researcher usually answers : "This is an “Euler-Poinsot problem”, while the old and correct representation in the Romanian language is referring to the torque created by the fact that the masses of the northern and the southern hemispheres of the Earth are not equal.
