Moravian Vlachs in the Czech Republic

[Daco Celtic]

Moravian Wallachia. Interesting group. Anybody here know much about them?

"In the eastern Czech Republic, within the province of Moravia and at the northern end of the Carpathian Mountains, there is a region inhabited by Vlachs, a population of Romanian origin who arrived there hundreds of years ago. The region is called Wallachia Moravia. Over time they merged into the local Czech and Slovak population, but you can still hear the distinctive Wallachian dialect, bearing several traces of its Romanian origins. The most obvious Wallachian symbol is the large, pointed black shepherd’s hat, which appears on village crests."

"Moravian Wallachia (Czech: Moravské Valašsko, or simply Valašsko; Romanian: Valahia Moravă) is a mountainous ethnoregion located in the easternmost part of Moravia in the Czech Republic, near the Slovak border, roughly centered on the cities Vsetín, Valašské Meziříčí and Rožnov pod Radhoštěm.[1] The name Wallachia used to be applied to all the highlands of Moravia and the neighboring Silesia, although in the 19th century a smaller area came to be defined as ethno-cultural Moravian Wallachia. The traditional dialect (rarely heard these days) represents a mixture of elements from the Czech and Slovak languages, and has a distinct lexicon of Romanian origin relating to the pastoral economy of the highlands. The name originated in the "Vlachs", an originally Romance-speaking community that migrated to Moravia." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moravian_Wallachia https://english.radio.cz/court-hear-appeal-wallachian-kingdom-dispute-8592511

I'm sure the Vlachness has been watered down since they were a small minority to begin with but the cultural aspects are interesting

Apparently, Vlach is Czech surname. https://www.surnamedb.com/Surname/Vlach

from Vlach ‘Italian’, ‘Romanian’, or ‘Wallachian’. This vocabulary word originally meant ‘foreigner’; it is cognate with German welsch meaning ‘Latin’ or ‘Romance-speaking’, and ultimately with Old English wælisc ‘foreign’ and modern English Welsh. At the time when surnames were formed, the Czech word was applied chiefly to Italians, but also to Romanians. from a pet form of any of various personal names beginning with Vla-, for example Vlastislav or Vladislav.

Vlach was first applied in medieval times by the Czechs to refugee Italians and Rumanians, who were (are) also known as Walchians. It is unclear when or where the surname was first recorded, as church registers for many parts of Europe particularly those under former Communist control have been destroyed. From those available we have recordings such as Johan Vlach at Kobylnice, Brno, Czech Republic, on August 27th 1746, and Simon Vlahovic at Tinjan, Slovenia, on April 4th 1914.

Those are rookie numbers. Check this out (town of Valozhyn my ass, when it peaks in Lviv and barely exists along the border with Belarus :lol:...and what surnames trace to names of towns anyway?):

It more likely comes from Voloh, which is just another name for Vlach.

Central European is a codeword for Vlach™ lite.

Moravian Wallachia. Interesting group. Anybody here know much about them?


there was an y-dna study on them.
they tested 2 groups, self-declared Vlachs, and those with surnames of Vlach origin. the first group had normal Czech y-dna proportions, while the second was similar to Romanians.

I am from this area, respective from its edge. The area was colonized by Slavs before the Vlach colonization. When they came they asimilated with locals.

Do you know if Moravian Vlachs immigrated to Volhynia?
