The Daco-Roman Continuity Theory Makes No Sense!

[Carpatz]

Alright, let's continue this argument.



Dacians were not decimated, your assumption is completely false. Dacians left ample traces until the real collapse of the Roman Dacia (6-7th century AD). Romanians inherit the Daco-Roman mix - that is more than half of the Romanian ancestry.

In the 7th century Gepids took control of the salt and gold mines of Transylvania (which bankrupted the local economy), while at the same Slavs and Bulgars (not Bulgarians) were migrating south, through Romania. Some of the local Daco-Roman population took refuge in the mountains, while the rest mixed with Slavs, in the so-called "Dridu" culture, a proto-Romanian-Bulgarian culture, found both north and south of the Danube.

You mentioned earlier the dichotomy between Munteni (highlanders) and Câmpeni (plainsmen). Today Romanians who call themselves Munteni live mostly in the Wallachian plains. It brings to mind how the founders of Wallachia came from the Transylvanian Alps, building Câmpulung, the first capital, at the foothills of the Carpathians. Oltenians get their name because they hug the river Olt. I reckon they are more proper Câmpeni

Morlachs as Latin speaking ethnicity never existed. "Morlach" was Venetian term for all inhabitants of the hinterland of east Adriatic coast - Orthodoxes and Catholics (Serbs and Croatians). In other meaning "Morlachs" were Venetian irregular military composed of Serbs and Croatians https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morlac...an_irregulars)

For example famous "Morlachs" who distinguished themselves in the fight against Turks were Cvijan Šarić, Stojan Janković and family Sinobad, they were Orthodox Serbs (Šarić was Orthodox priest)

Famous Catholic "Morlachs" who distinguished themselves in the fight against Turks were Franjo Posedarski, Matija Nakić, Andrija Butković and some others.

These Aromanian dialects sounds noticeably different from Romanian.

It sounds like a pidgen language of the Balkan Sprachbund almost, a mix of Albanian-Bulgarian-Romanian-Greek, very peculiar sound. Also it has to be noted that Modern Romanian is not at all the same as Medieval Romanian (even if similar), since thousands of new words were adopted from Western Romance languages in the past 200 years in the process of Re-Latinization, with the purpose of eliminating many Slavic words, including shifting from Cyrillic to Latin alphabet. It was a politically charged move by Romanians in Transylvania to cling to the West and to Rome rather than the East and Constantinople. They also converted from Orthodoxy to Catholicism (hence Greek-Catholics) in this purpose of becoming more Westernized.

I would say it was pressure by Habsburg empire. The same they did with 3 Serbian Orthodox villages in Dalmatia, and in Žumberak enclave near Zagreb.

Simmilar process happened with Orthodox population in Ukraine and Belarus in Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth in 16th century - union of Brest.

You don't speak Romanian and you're just repeating the same crap spread by people who know jackshit about Romanian language. Fuck off.
