The term originates from the Magyar language, in which it means \u003ci\u003e\"mixed\"\u003c\/i\u003e or \u003ci\u003e\"impure.\"\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMost Changos live on the territory of Romania, with the largest number in Moldavia. Many are bilingual, speaking Romanian and Magyar, and their religion is Catholic. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book makes an important contribution to the scholarly discussion of the origin of the Changos and sheds new light on the history of this little-known, but fascinating people. The only work on the subject written by a Chango scholar, it disputes the theory that the Changos are of Magyar origin--a theory largely based on their Catholicism--demonstrating that they are, in fact, of Romanian origin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dumitru Martinas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9739839142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789739839143\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Center for Romanian Studies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/08\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.80w x 0.50d","brand":"Dumitru Martinas","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48446695014655,"sku":"9789739839143","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d9c7fe6c-e745-43e7-90c8-7aa0b3a506b6.jpg?v=1777226339","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/origins-of-the-changos-dumitru-martinas-9789739839143","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
