This paper presents a collection of achievements related to the use of information technology in Romanian linguistic geography. The most difficult challenge consisted in creating a system that allows the use of phonetic transcription specific to the Romanian language, for which two solutions were proposed. The software tools designed and implemented for the creation of analytical, synthetic and interpretive maps that were included in the atlases specific to the Romanian linguistic area are briefly presented. Tools for editing ethno- and socio-texts are also presented. The most important advantage of using computer technologies is the digitization of the dialectal material, which can thus be exploited in other dialectological researches.

Abstract The following presentation is based on the lexical material from vols 1–3 published so far in Atlasului lingvistic român pe regiuni. Sinteză – ALRR. Sinteză [ALRR. Synthesis] [The Romanian linguistic atlas by regions. Synthesis - ALRR. Synthesis]. I, 2007, II, 2012, III, 2018, which includes the answers to the first two chapters of the NALR Questionnaire: 1. Human body (body parts, diseases, physical and moral qualities) (vols I and II of the atlas) and 2. Family (relatives, birth, marriage, death) (vol. III of the atlas). The present study highlights the presence of German loanwords over a wider area than it was known until now. It is worth mentioning, in this respect, German loanwords that have entered the southern area or that have acquired here meanings that are not attested in other areas of the country: tro̯ácă ‘skull’ (Oltenia), ‘cradle’ (Muntenia, Oltenia), scrofuri ‘tonsils (goiter)’ (Muntenia, Oltenia), tron ‘coffin’ (compact area in Oltenia).

This paper proposes to emphasise the linguistic similarities of South-Danubian Romanian dialects (Aromanian, Meglenoromanian, Istroromanian) from the perspective of Romance concordances and Balkan convergences. The lexical concordances established with the Western Romance languages highlight the fact that the Aromanian represents a lateral area in Romania (see questions 496. VĂR ‘cousin’ and 548. NAŞĂ ‘godmother’); sometimes, there are situations of lexical unity in the Romance languages (see questions 553. FIN ‘godson’).
