"Dimãndarea pãrinteascã" ('The Will of the Forefathers'), also known as "Pãrinteasca dimãndari" ('The Forefathers' Will'), is an Aromanian poem written in 1888, exhorting parents to teach their children the language, instead of assimilating into other Balkan ethnicities. As a result, it is often used as an anthem by some Aromanians.[1][2][3][4]
