Szeklerland is a region in central Romania, primarily inhabited by the Székely people, who are a Hungarian-speaking ethnic group. This area, part of the historical Transylvania, has a distinct cultural identity and has historically sought greater autonomy or recognizing its unique heritage. While officially part of Romania, Szeklerland features a significant Hungarian minority and local efforts to preserve their language, traditions, and self-governance. The region reflects complex historical, ethnic, and political dynamics, balancing Romanian sovereignty with the cultural and national aspirations of the Székely community.
