There is no _dialectal_ boundary on Olt. Daco-Romanian spoken in
Romania has several subdialects (Wallachian, Moldavian, from Banat
area, CriSana-like, and from MaramureS). In the southern part, the
spoken subdialect is Wallachian, on both sides of Olt river. At
some sub-subdialectal level, Wallachian spoken on the western side
of Olt has some minor specific features with respect to Wallachian
from Bucharest, but essentially nothing related to phonetics.
