Ethnic map of Romania in 2011 Lesser minorities of Romania (under 100,000 members) Ethnicity in Romania by county (inhabitants) based on the 2002 census data Ethnicity in Romania by county (%) based on 2002 census data Before World War II, minorities represented more than 28% of the total population.
During the war that percentage was halved, largely by the loss of the border areas of Bessarabia and northern Bukovina (to the former Soviet Union — now Moldova and Ukraine), Black Sea islands (to the former Soviet Union — now Ukraine) and southern Dobrudja (to Bulgaria), as well as by the postwar flight or deportation of ethnic Germans. File:Ethnic-map-of-Romania-2011.png. Romanian diaspora. The Romanian diaspora is the ethnically Romanian population outside Romania and Moldova.
The concept does not usually include the ethnic Romanians who live as natives in nearby states, chiefly those Romanians who live in Ukraine and Serbia. Therefore, the number of all Romanians abroad is estimated at about 4-12 million people, depending on one's definition of the term "Romanian" as well as the inclusion/exclusion of ethnic Romanians living in nearby countries where they are indigenous. The definition of "who is a Romanian? " may range from rigorous conservative estimates based on self-identification and official statistics to estimates that include people of Romanian ancestry born in their respective countries as well as people born to ethnic-minorities from Romania.

Pentecostals in Romania by municipality (2002 census) Pentecostals in Romania, absolute numbers (2002 census) Pentecostals in Romania by percentage (2002 census) The Pentecostal Union of Romania (Romanian: Uniunea Penticostală din România) is Romania's fourth-largest religious body and one of its eighteen officially recognised religious denominations. History[edit] Pentecostalism was introduced to Romania in 1922 by Gheorghe Bradin, who set up a thirty-member church in Păuliş, Arad County after living in the United States since before 1910; the new movement responded to a deep concern for spiritual renewal following the trauma of World War I. During the Communist period (1947-89), Pentecostalist leaders were models of cautious discretion in their relationship with the state. The church has held congresses in 1951, 1956 and every four years since 1986.
