Strange. Last Year I was 2 weeks in the county of Hatseg and we have had
the village CosteSti as place where we overnighted when not remaining
between ruins of Sarmizegetusa Regia. In the evenings we have eaten with
the peasants of CosteSti and discussed together. I can not remember they
used "vearde" or such stuff. On the contrary, their speech was -for my
ears- a clear "muntenian" way to speak, but with some regionalisms which
are not to find in Muntenia.
It can be I was not interested too much, but I will be very carefully in
the future when hearing to them.
