Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /tɹænzˈnɪsˌtɹi.ə/, enPR: trănz-nĭsʹtrē'ə
Proper noun
Transnistria
- (historical) A former governorate of Romania during World War II, established in 1941 and captured by Soviet forces in 1944.
- A geographic region and de-facto independent but unrecognized country in Eastern Europe that claims statehood as the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic; internationally considered an autonomous territorial unit within Moldova.
Usage notes
- Despite Transnistria being by far the most common name in English, the term is considered very offensive by the breakaway government, with Pridnestrovie being the name in official use by the state.
