AB  - This paper discusses the increased visibility of Vlach Romanian in the linguistic landscape of rural and small-town Eastern Serbia, analysing it in the context of the revitalisation measures the community has undertaken in the last 20 years. Our research was conducted in a mainly rural area, comprising four neighbouring municipalities in Eastern Serbia, with a dense Vlach population. We investigate a sample of the inscriptions we encountered, focusing on the intended audience of the inscriptions and correlating it with the basic functions of the signs (informational and symbolic). We show that, in the area under discussion, the signs have a mainly symbolic value, and are used as identity markers, as support for the legitimisation of the language, or as indexes of authenticity, while their informational function is apparent only in relation with the commodification of the language.
AB  - Рад анализира појаву и видљивост влашког варијетета у језичком пејзажу источне Србије. Овај феномен се посматра у контексту мера ревитализације које влашка заједница предузима последњих 20 година. Истраживање је спроведено у претежно руралном подручју које обухвата четири суседне општине у источној Србији, у којима живи велики проценат влашког становништва. Натписи на влашком варијетету су анализирани са фокусом на њихову циљану публику и основне функције (информативну и симболичку). Резултати показују да у овој области натписи имају углавном симболичку функцију, користе се као маркери идентитета, као вид легитимизације језика или као показатељи аутентичности, док је њихова информативна функција очигледна само у односу на комодификацију језика.

AB  - The Vlachs are a minority of Eastern Serbia closely related ethnographically and linguistically to the Romanians, and speaking an archaic variant of the Romanian language, with a large share of Serbian neologisms. The Vlachs have a multiple, contextual and contested identity, some of them identifying with the Romanian nation, some with the Serbian one, and others opting for a local Vlach identity, different from the Romanian one, which has been reinforced lately by the pro-Vlach activists. The aim of our paper is to thoroughly present the linguistic situation of the Vlachs, with a special emphasis on the gap in the intergenerational transmission of the language, to take a look at the curriculum design and development for teaching Vlach in the schools of Eastern Serbia, and to present the first Vlach textbook, The Vlach speech with elements of national culture, published in 2014. We are focusing on Vlach corpus planning and acquisition planning, but also take a look at the recent introduction of Romanian language classes in the region. Despite the specialists’ opinion that Vlach is only an archaic variant of Romanian, we are witnessing its transformation into a language of its own, which is not a new phenomenon in Eastern Europe, and which deserves the entire attention of both linguists and policy makers. In spite of the poor transmission of language to the younger generation, we consider that studying both the Vlach speech and the Romanian language in the schools of Eastern Serbia may represent the necessary incentive for stopping and reversing the significant language shift which has taken place in the last century in the Vlach community.
