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\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Center for Romanian Studies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/19\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781592110797\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240","brand":"Dumitru Martinas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52507544027317,"sku":"9781592110797","price":25.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_4500c94e-a400-4db9-8c66-6e2a349e492c.jpg?v=1778565651","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/origins-of-the-changos-9781592110797","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
