Talk:Bacău County

Khoikhoi, I don't think 1% of the population can be called a "large population". :-) bogdan 16:58, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

BTW, what 2002 census is this article reffering to, cause according to the romanian one (see http://www.edrc.ro/recensamant.jsp?regiune_id=1&judet_id=2 and http://nepszamlalas.adatbank.transindex.ro/?pg=9&id=17) csangos and hungarians hardly made up 5.000 in this county, far from the around 10% or 51130 people this article claims Anonimu 20:29, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In this case I agree with the Romanian contributors, since the reasons for using the Hungarian names summarized at Talk:Harghita/Vote do not apply here (ie. traditional counties of Hungary ~ Romanian counties today, large minority groups, etc.). I don't think that "Bákó megye" would mean anything to anyone, be it a historian or an ethnic Hungarian in Romania. Maybe we should add the Hungarian names of the cities that have one (Iasi - Jászváros, Bacau - Bákó, etc). Vay 21:47, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I'll remove it, because it was never part of Hungary. --Khoikhoi 22:04, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

the only county outside

"One characteristic of the county is the presence of an important Hungarian population - the only county outside the Carpathian Arch to have traditional Hungarians." This is not true because there are some villages in Vrancea County, and in there is an important hungarian comunity in Neamţ County, Szabofalva-Săbăoani, where come a hungarian writers too. Szabofalva is the capital of northern csangos!!!!!

Bacău & Bákó

Dear Authors,

I added the Hungarian name of the county (judeţ) after reading many of the ethnic names for different Romanian counties. I think it should be shown because it is referred to as such in the Hungarian media, in Hungary and among the ethinc Hungarians in Romania as well.

Until 1989, most Hungarian names for Geographical subjects in non-Transylvanian Romania were not in use - it was the consequence of the policy of the socialist government in Hungary. Since then, these terms became common. There is a consensus amongst Hungarians, that the correct Hungarian equivalent for 'judeţ Bacău' is 'Bákó megye'.

I couldn't find other ethnic names for the county, but since there are many minorities in Romania, it is possible that others exist, and should be added.

See for example: Gyula (Romanian: Giula) is a town in Békés county (Romanian: Judeţul Bichiş). It is an English article, too.
