Ion Budai-Deleanu (January 6, 1760 – August 24, 1820)^[1] was a Romanian scholar, philologist, historian, poet, and a representative of the Transylvanian School.

He was born in Csigmó (today Cigmău), a village in the town of Algyógy (today Geoagiu, Hunedoara County), located in the western part of Transylvania.^[2] Budai-Deleanu studied at the College of Saint Barbara in Vienna.^[1] After completing his doctorate at the University of Erlau, he settled in Lemberg (now Lviv in Ukraine).^[3] He finished an epic poem, entitled Țiganiada ("Gypsy Epic"), about a band of gypsies that fought alongside the army of Vlad the Impaler, the medieval ruler of Wallachia.^[1]

He was one of the first proponents of the idea of the unification of the lands that now form Romania.^[4] He proposed that the union should be achieved under the rule of the Habsburgs, through the annexation of Wallachia and Moldavia into the Grand Principality of Transylvania.^[5]

According to Budai-Deleanu, the Dacians did not have a role in the ethnogenesis of the Romanian people.^[6] He thought that the Dacians were the ancestors of the Poles.^[6]

He promoted the purification of the Romanian language from loanwords, proposing that only borrowings from Italian and French should be permitted.^[7] He also strove for the replacement of the Cyrillic script with the Latin alphabet.^[7]

Budai-Deleanu died in Lemberg in 1820, aged 60.

Streets în Arad, Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, Oradea, Sibiu, and Timișoara are named after him.
