Urban growth and language shift in county seats in Transylvania between 1900 and 2011

Abstract

Romania was characterised in the 20 th -century by urban revolution.Urban growth was more pronounced in the time of socialism, when the present network of regional poles and subregional centres was formed.This rapid expansion also gave rise to a number of social, economic, and urban challenges.The urbanisation process in Transylvania, Partium, and Banat led to linguistic, ethnic and cultural changes.As of 1920, the Romanian language steadily gained ground in centres where the dominant language used to be Hungarian and German.Apart from two smaller groups, the process of language shift can be considered by now almost complete in most county seats.However, it did not take place in two current county seats, while some others still function as bilingual towns.Urban growth and language shift in county seats in Transylvania between 1900 and 2011 151
