Moldva (distinct from the post-Soviet country of Moldova): a region at the foot of the Eastern Carpathians, the last transitional home of the conquering Magyars on their way to the Carpathian Basin. Later, it became the Cumans' temporary home, later still a Romanian voivodeship and then principality. Today, it is a part of Romania. The Csángós, or Moldavian Magyars, comprise its Hungarian-speaking population. The Csángó community has retained a great many archaic cultural features, but its language and lifestyle (e.g., peasant wear) has been much influenced by its (Orthodox) Romanian neighbors.
