Abstract
The text presents the outcome of a sociolinguistic questionnaire survey conducted among the
pupils attending lessons in the Aromanian (Vlach) language at a primary school in Kruševo
(Macedonia). The survey focused on: the rate of use of Aromanian in individual language
domains; the proportion of Aromanian in the overall framework of speaking activities; the
reception of Aromanian culture and active participation in this culture; and subjective ethnic,
linguistic and cultural attitudes and assessments. With respect to the current situation of
the Aromanian language, the questionnaire detected decisive differences among individual
respondents concerning the mother tongues of the parents, gender and other aspects. Computing
the (non)homogeneity of the answers proved highly relevant as well.
