Târgu Mureș (frequently spelled Tîrgu Mureș) (Romanian pronunciation: [ˈtɨrɡu ˈmureʃ] ( listen); Hungarian: Marosvásárhely, Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈmɒroʃvaːʃaːrhɛj] ( listen); also known by other alternative names) is the seat of Mureș County in the north-central part of Romania. It is the 16th largest Romanian city, with 134,290 inhabitants, as of 2011[update] census.
The current Romanian name of the city, Târgu Mureș, is the equivalent with the Hungarian Marosvásárhely, both meaning "market on the Mureș (Maros) [River]". Târg means "market" in Romanian and vásárhely means "marketplace" in Hungarian. The Hungarian Marosvásárhely is sometimes shortened to Vásárhely in local colloquial Hungarian language.
