The authors of the publication under review, János Péntek and Attila Beno, present an objective picture of the situation of the Hungarian language in Romania (Transylvania). In 2020, this volume completed the series that had published the results of sociolinguistic research on the Hungarian language conducted in eight countries since 1998. This sixth sequel shows similarities and differences in comparison to the previously published volumes. Consistent with the other volumes of the series and the multidisciplinary nature of the topic, the eight main chapters of the book cover not only the presentation of the Hungarian language and community but also the external factors determining the operating conditions of the language as well as the resulting processes and characteristics of language/language use. Despite the differences observed in the situation of the Hungarian language in Romania, the publication points out several sociolinguistic and bilingualism-based universals that appear in the same or similar form in the other external regions, as well.
