Abstract

One of the most relevant features of Romanian phonetics and phonology are the diphthongs /ea/ and /oa/, which have aroused the interest of many researchers (Mussafia, 1868; Diez, 2021: 130-135; Miklosich, 2010; Meyer-Lübke, 1890; Iordan, 1920; Lombard, 1955; Petrovici, 1956, 1957, 1959; Rosetti, 1959; Vasiliu, 1968; Sala, 1976; Loporcaro, 2011; Sánchez Miret, 2013, among others). These contrast phonologically with the Spanish hiatus /e.a/ and /o.a/. For this reason, in this study we want to analyze the possible pronunciation of Romanian Spanish learners taking into account seven university students.
