- Transylvanian identity — An archaic or literary abstract term denoting the totality of specific traits, mentality, behavior, and spirit of the inhabitants of Ardeal; spiritual Transylvanianism. In its structural essence, the notion defines the Transylvanian character manifested through proverbial calmness, temperance, strict respect for administrative rules, and a measured stance toward life's problems, used mostly in 19th and 20th-century identity essays.
