Mihail George Boiagi[1] (3 February 1780 – 1828,[2] 1842 or 1843[3]) was an Aromanian grammarian and professor in the Habsburg monarchy and the Austrian Empire.
[1] Boiagi was one of the main figures of the Aromanian diaspora in Austria and Hungary, the capitals of which, Vienna and Budapest respectively, became gathering centers for members of this community in the 19th century.
This system was characterized by the use of digraphs to avoid the use of diacritics for those sounds not present in the Latin alphabet.
Thus, instead of using e.g. "č", "ľ", "ń" or "ș", Boiagi made use of "cs", "lj", "nj" and "sh".
[5] The Greek Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople, disapproving of his work, blacklisted Boiagi's grammar and excommunicated him, although he kept his post as professor in Vienna.
