1863 CE

Franz Joseph convenes the Transylvanian Diet in 1863 but Hungarian deputies boycott the session because the emperor had not convened it in accordance with the 1848 laws, and Romanian and German deputies hold the majority.

The rump Diet passes laws that underscore Transylvania's autonomy and equal status for the Romanian, Hungarian, and German languages.

Transylvania's Romanians at last join the Magyars, Szeklers, and Germans as the fourth Transylvanian "nation," and the Romanian Orthodox Church becomes a received religion.

Franz Joseph later permits Transylvania's Orthodox Church to separate from the Serbian Patriarchate.

Romanian literary figures soon establish the Association for the Cultivation of Romanian Language and Literature, which becomes a focal point of Romanian cultural life in Transylvania.
