What was the only European member of the Warsaw Pact to have a Romance language as an official language?

Romania is the only European member of the Warsaw Pact that has a Romance language as its official language. Romance languages, which evolved from Latin, include Romanian, Italian, French, Spanish, and Portuguese. Romanian is distinct in that it is the only Romance language spoken in Eastern Europe, influenced by its Roman heritage and various historical interactions with neighboring cultures.

In contrast, Hungary, East Germany, and Czechoslovakia predominantly used languages from different linguistic families, such as Hungarian (a Uralic language), German (a Germanic language), and Czech or Slovak (both Slavic languages), respectively. This linguistic distinction highlights Romania's unique position within the Warsaw Pact, showcasing its historical and cultural lineage connected to the Romance languages.
