Aron Pumnul

Aron Pumnul

Aron Pumnul (November 27, 1818 - January 12th/24th, 1866) was a Romanian academic and revolutionary of Transylvania (then in the Habsburg Monarchy).

He was the subject of the poem "La mormântul lui Aron Pumnul" (At the Grave of Aron Pumnul) by Mihai Eminescu.

In the field of linguistics, he supported the adoption of Latin alphabet instead of the Cyrillic alphabet [ [http://www.ohiou.edu/~Chastain/ip/pumnul.htm Encyclopedia of 1848 Revolutions: Aron Pumnul] ] , but he opposed direct loanwords from other Romance languages, promoting instead the Romanianization of the language, through the creation of words using Romanian roots (for instance "vorbământ" for etymology and "tâmplământ" for history) or importing Latin words by passing them through the phonetic changes from Latin to Romanian. [Marinella Lörinczi Angioni, "Coscienza nazionale romanza e ortografia: il romeno tra alfabeto cirillico e alfabeto latino ", "La Ricerca Folklorica", No. 5, La scrittura: funzioni e ideologie. (Apr., 1982), pp. 75-85.]
