Mister Ben Llywelyn, i am going to tell you a sad story about vlachs. Vlachs speak 5 languages that made so called the eastern european languages.These are the languages: 1.Daco-romana called romanian today spread from the tisza river in the west to Nistru river in the east and from the danube river in the sound to the transcarpathia region and south of royal poland( lviv city, ivano-frankovsk) 2.Meglenita or megleno-romana spoken from the danube river to the greek thracia...the most famous meglenitza cities were: xanthi in greece, blagoevgrad in bulgaria.The big number of meglenits people you can find in the history of asan dinasty of bulgaria and the influence of the meglenit language you can find it in the way the bulgarians are using their grammar which is completely different from the serbian or croatian grammar 3.Aromanian language spoken in the region of epirus ,south of albania,north of thessaly and the mountains of north macedonia having its capital in moscopole(voskopoje today in albania). 4.Morlachian language spoken from the north of montenegro, dalmatia and west of bosnia.today only a few villages speack this language,During the croatian history you can find different strong morlachian fortresses in the mountains of dalmatia.The influence of the morlachian language can be seen in the croatian grammar or music.Also all the top of the dalmatian mountains have morlachian names.the most famous name of a mountain in dalmatia is DURMITOR in montenegro which in morlachian language means the "the sleepy one"'. 5.Istro-romanian spoken not only in istria peninsula but also in the south of slovenija and the south of hungary and austria..even in tyrol region This is the big east romance language family which was not so lucky to survive as west romance language family did. Why it wasnt so lucky?BECAUSE OF THE UNWRITTEN VLACHIAN LAW: to be a faithfull subject of the state who protect their families and wealth.This law of honor and fidelity of vlachs for the country they lived in and protect them,put them in stupid situations during history: you can see during history family of vlachs killing each other because they were fighting for rivalry states like greece and bulgaria, or greece and serbia or serbia and bulgaria. Also their vlach wealth atracted much envy and hate which lead to genocide and forced assimilation by the states of the balkan peninsula: 1.the famous genocide of vlachs in 1788 done by albanians when the moscopole capital of aromanians was completly burn and pillaged by the albanian troops of ALI PASA 2.The famous genocide of morlachians done by croatians during history where morlachians from being natives of the land became a 2nd class citizens of the croatian kingdom;this led to completly assimilation and distruction of the morlachian language and culture.they were good to be used as soldiers by the croatian kingdom against turks but when they needed their rights to be respected the same croatian kingdom call them cattle thiefs and treat them as gipsy. 3.the cultural genocide done by greeks and bulgarians during the balkanic wars and WW1 when they forced the local population to fight on the greek side or bulgarian side, vlachs ending up killing each other because they were in the opposed different armies. the closing of romanian schools for the local vlachs where they studied the aromanian language by the greek, serbian or bulgarian ultra nationalistic goverment in 1918-1940 4.the stolen land did by greeks immigrants coming from pontus and smyrna during the greek genocide of 19818 done by turks..back then these immigrants were used by the nationalistic greek goverment to steel land from vlachs and took that land as property..this silent war done against aromanians end it up with a huge migration of vlachs into romanian dobrogea region. and the act or atrocities done by these states against vlachs still goes on.. even today vlachs in greece dont have the right to speack their language..they are "greek latinophones"...in bulgaria the meglenitza and the aromanian language are gone...all the locals were assimilated and forced to speack bulgarian.....in albania the rich lands of moscopole belongs to albanians now.. The vlachs contribution to the history of the balcanic states are forgotten and erased : 1.the asan dinasty of bulgaria is not meglenitic is bulgarian...every nationalistic bulgarian knows that..even if history says differently 2.the economic contribution of vlachs to the establishement of the national bank of greece or the vlachs heroes who died in different wars for the formation of greek state is erased because all heroes are greek not vlachs.even today the last 15000 vlachs who remained in greece dont have the right to speak their language and have their schoos.is shamefull to speack aromanian in greece. 3.the contribution of morlachs to the culture of croatia is erased because the proud croatians have pure blood and their songs and customs are not inspired by the "dirty morlachs" 4.the vlasin population from the timoc valley in serbia still today don t have romanian churches and orthodox romanian priests because "they dont exist" in the eyes of the nationalistic serbian goverment. ALL THESE STATES DIDN T SEE IN VLACHS A CULTURAL BRIDGE UNITING THE PEOPLE OF BALKANS..they saw only assimilation, apartheid and forced colonisation or stealing land against the brave vlachs who kept their word and honor in protecting the states where they lived(states who responded during history for vlachs with a politic of genocide and asimilation) THIS IS THE SAD HISTORY OF VLACHS...NOBODY LEARN THIS SAD STORY IN HISTORY BOOKS BECAUSE IT NEEDS TO BE HIDDEN.IS A DIRTY PAGE OF HISTORY DONE BY THE ULTRA NATIONALISTIC LITTLE NATION OF THE BALKANS.IT WAS A LONG SILENT GENOCIDE AGAINST VLACH LANGUAGE, HISTORY AND CULTURE. I AM HALF CAPPADOCIAN GREEK AND HALF ROMANIAN SO I KNOW THE BALKAN HISTORY SO WELL.I AM TELLING THIS SAD STORY BECAUSE THE FORGOTEN PAIN OF THE VLACHS MUST BE TOLD NOT ERASED.THE PEOPLE OF THE BALKAN STATES ARE GUILTY OF THIS TERIBLE GENOCIDE THAT TOOK SO MANNY YEARS AND KILLED AND ASSIMILATED 90% OF THE ROMANIZED NATIVE POPULATION OF THESE REGION.

Romania is no better - officially, Vlachs descend from Dacians - which is crap . I don't think a Vlach minority is acknowledge in Romania - they were romanized too .
@@seaman5705 in romania they have tge right to speak their language..they have national gatherings and festivals every year..that is not allowed in balkan countries but us allowed in romania.unfortunately, romania officially recognize aromanian not as a language but as a dialect which in my opinion is wrong...but at least the brave aromanians gave the right to exist to speak their language and show tgeir culture.the aromanian music is a delight in romania.i speak romanian and i understand aromanian and greek...hid bless aromanians for their good heart
@@laurentiupacioglu6555 You don't understand my point . Romanians , in their majority , think that they appeared out of thin air everywhere - from south of Balkans to Poland, Slovakia and up to the Don in Russia . They consider the Balkan Vlachs as being a branch of Romanians , not vice-versa . Somehow , the Dacians transformed in Romanians , nobody can explain how and when . Myself , I believe that , we Romanians, descend mostly from Vlachs of south of Danube , which crossed the river north , in the same way , they spread up to Greece or other parts . Moldavia, for example , is Vlach-Romanian expansion , in most of it's territory . None of us is the original Vlachs , but evolution of the romanized latin speaking ,population of the Balkans . You may admit this , but most of the Romanians do not. You are right , there are no persecutions against Aromanians in Romania , but this does not mean that their origin is not negated in official history . Right here in this thread I've seen a comment sounding like "come to motherland" - meaning Romanians consider you are split from the mighty Romanian people and land , north of Danube .

I am Romanian, but Romanians have only existed since 1859, when the Danubian Principalities, Moldova and Wallachia, united and decided that the people should be known as "Romanians", a name similar to "Romans". Romanians from Transylvania remained known as Wallachians until 1918 when Transylvania was united with Romania. The Romanians are the old Dacians who inherited the Latin language, over whom came the Slavs, then other influences - Turks, Bulgarians, Hungarians, etc. who influenced the language, now called Romanian. Texts of Wallachian origin date only from the 14th century and were written in Slavonic, an old Slavic language used by the Orthodox clergy.
@@stefanbabutiu5145 Romanians have existed since the Vlachs have existed. 'Vlach' is just an exonym used by foreigners, but their endonym has always been 'rumân' or 'român,' and this name was used by all inhabitants of Wallachia, Moldavia, and Transylvania. The theory of Dacian origin is quite recent and gained traction during communism, but Romanians throughout their history have always referred to themselves as Romans, and there is little evidence of what they were before Romanization (probably a mixture of everything, Dacians, Thracians, Illyrians, etc.).

@@MAKDavid-1 Hahaha, such a good joke Gábori-Gyspy-Bozgor!!! It literally says on the Wiki page about their language that the term _Vlax_ was coined by a British linguist to identify Gypsies that have slave origin in the Vlach Principalities hence the term _Vlax_ from _Vlach._ Their language was influenced by the Vlach (Romanian) language, but they aren't related: "The language's name Vlax Romani was coined by British scholar Bernard Gilliat-Smith in his 1915 study on Bulgarian Romani, in which he first divided Romani dialects into Vlach and non-Vlach.[4][5] The Vlax Roma, a subgroup of the Romani people that speak the Vlax Romani language, originate from the former Roma slaves in the principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia (with the name "Vlax", which comes from "Vlach", coming from the latter)". Those two people groups aren't related. But let's talk about the Gábori-Magyar-Gypsies and the true origin of the Magyar-gypsy people from Punjab! This is what Liverpool University has to say about Gábori: "As Hungarian Gypsies, by their murecan origin, these Roma enjoy an image of seriousness and righteousness in the region. Their 'magyarity' has westernised and, in so doing, civilised them." - Martin Olivera, (June 2012).

Also the Balkan exonym to Gábori-Magyar-gypsy culture: "Bozgor" that comes from Oungroi and the latter from from Gábori-Gypsy😊
It is not about the lacking of Romanian texts . It is about the lacking of ANY text mentioning Proto Romanians , Daco-Romans or any "continuators" , north of Danube , after say, 5-6th century . Others around were capable to write , they wrote about every migrator who passed or lived on this territory , but they didn't see the proto-Romanians . One wrote that population spoke the language of the Goths or Huns, other wrote that north of Danube was the land of the Slavs , none spoke about Romanians north of Danube . And Romanian texts appeared much later . Vlach population appeared in 12-13 century , in a significant number .
@@seaman5705 I don't think you look at it the right way. It is factually correct that let's say ca. 5th - 8th c. nobody mentioned any Latinophone population north of the danube river; however the reason doesn't prove anything, neither for it nor against it. People wrote what they needed at that time, not what somebody needs to know 1,5k years later on RUclips. Latin speaking Romans were a significant number in the Balkans, and Florin Curtea on the broadcast "Hot News", explained that archeology does in fact show a continuation of a latinophone population after the withdrawal of the Romans from Dacia ca. 271-275 ad. So for a Roman writer to document that north of the danube it existed a Latin speaking population wouldn't happen, for them it was obvious. They barely cared to write that Latin speakers lived north of Jireček line, the only reason they have been mentioned is because they were part of the ERE's political situation. After the Balkans fell to the Sclavenes, Latin speaking people aren't any longer mentioned until 11th century. Also, the idea that a Latin speaking population still existed north of the danube isn't a controversy any longer in the academic field. We do know that a latinophonic population still remained in Dacia after the Roman withdrawal; the only question as Florin Curtea pointed out is whether they have anything to do with Romanians as we cannot prove such connection just with archeology. We need linguistical proof of a continuum between us and them. Florin Curtea suggests that the Romanian population would have originated from a Christianized Roman population on both side's of the danube.
@@ciudat105 Bro, it’s impossible to shake of centuries of Serbian influence! I’m Serbian to the core, even if my mother’s language is Valachian! I love my Romanian brothers & sisters, but my nationality is Serbian! I love my country! Greetings!
15:09 You got it wrong here friend. Vlachs didn't "revolt with Bulgarians to form the Bulgarian Empire". The revolt of 1185 was a purely Vlach revolt, that Bulgarians and Cumans partook in, and they formed the Empire of the Vlachs or "Vlachian Empire" and not a Bulgarian one! It is true that the Asan dynasty which (was the first Vlach dynasty in history), claimed Bulgarian Imperial succession from the Old Bulgarian Empire (681-1018), but that's called a "Translatio Imperii". The Empire was still Vlach, and writers such as Geoffroi de Villehardouin, Henri de Valenciennes, Robert de Clari, Philippe Mouskes, Rashīd al-Dīn, Wiliam de Rubruquis, Bar Hebraeus, Laurentius de Monacis, Innocentius III, Ansbert and Niketas Choniates called it "Kingdom/Empire of Vlachia" between 12th-13th century. Choniates, the Byzantine chronicler and the only source we have on the revolt between 1185-1197 wrote: "When Vlachs were afflicted with the disease of open rebellion, the leaders of this evil being those I cited above, the Emperor marched out against them [spring 1186]. At first, the Vlachs were reluctant and turned away from revolt urged upon them by Peter and Asan, looking askance at the magnitude of the undertaking. To overcome the timidity of their compatriots, the brothers built a house of prayer in the name of the Good Martyr Demetrios." He clearly writes the revolt was a Vlach one, of course Bulgarians later on partook in it but in no major battle. All the important battles were done by an army of Vlacho-Cumans. He also makes it clear that Peter and Asan were of the same origin as the Vlachs, (they became later Emperors of the Empire) and that Belgun-Asan spoke in the Vlach language with a captive priest. Also about Dobromir Criș (Chrysos) who ruled his Autonomous Vlach Principality between 1196-1202, was not the only ruler in modern FYROM. After his death in 1202, Strez a member of the Vlach imperial dynasty was given his lands by Tsar Kaloyan (called "the Vlach" by writers). And when Borilă usurped the imperial throne, Strez revolted against him and expanded the Principality from Skopje (Vlach: Scopia) all the way to Greek region of Macedonia to the Aegean Sea with the Capital of the Vlach fortress of Prosakos. Between 12th - 13th c. Vlachs had 5 major revolts, 1. in 1066 created by the Vlachs in Thessaly, 2. the one in 1185 that formed the first Vlach Empire, 3. by a Vlach boyar of the Empire called Ivancu, 4. By Dobromir Criș and 5. By Strez.
@@BenLlywelyn Glad to hear. But I hope that the Vlach revolt of 1185 wouldn't see the Bulgarian bs. I recommend you to read Robert Lee Wolff's article on this, he is a 20th century American Historian who looks on it objectively👍🏻

Nothern Slovakia was colonized by Valachian colonization. Regions like Kysuce and Orava were settled by pastural valachs. They were quite autonomous, free people. In Czechia side there is city calleed Valasske Mezirici.
Yes, they used a shepard route to evacuate and move between two points, Wallachia (Dacia) and Moravia Wallachia. In Moravia Wallachia they of course started revolves and tried to take down the Roman Empire (hasburg line), even joined forces with the Sweeds. There was a migration from Maramures to what was called Moldova, but there were already Vlach tribes in the area. It s hilarious to even try to claim the other side of Carpathians, very rich area, was somehow inhabited. There is a reason why Hungary sent a vlach to establish a state originally, the most influential tribes there were vlachs.

The Orthodox Vlachs spread further northward along the Carpathians to the present day territory of Poland, Slovakia, and Czech Republic, and were granted autonomy under the ''Vlach law''.[124]
The vlachs were proto-romanian shepherds that followed the seasonal migration called transhumance. The name Valachia identifies them ethnically. As for the maghiars, yes they tried to get into Transylvania and brought in the sequills and saxons but only to split the land. They wouldn’t bring more vlachs in a country already inhabited by vlachs. Point being that a pre-societal way of life existed in proto-Romanian lands the same way that Palestine is inhabited by people who reject the idea of a state. What maghiars did was wrong not by modern times but because they can hardly find themselves at home in a country they enslaved for 1000 years. That’s why the vlachs in Bulgaria speak Romanian despite being separated from now Romanian mainland for 18 centuries; same for the ones in Serbia (17 centuries) , Czechia, Croatia, Greece (ever since). In all these countries there is a population with identical customs as Romanians, in some this population speaks a Romanian dialect closer to modern Romanian than Spanish is to Italian. There’s one possible reason they’re called vlachs: same reason for which Ukrainians have hardly any laws even today recognizing the Moldovans as speaking Romanian. I’ll let you draw the conclusion. Enjoy!

Poate vii si cu niste dovezi ca Transylvania era plina de Vlahi . Si asta vine de la un roman . Cred ca nu ai priceput nimic din ce a spus Ben asta . Migratia nu s-a intamplat din Romania in Balcani , ci invers . Vlahii au venit aici si au stat la baza formarii poporului roman . Teritoriul asta nu e endemic pt ei . Povestile de continuitate sunt propaganda nationalista si ajung pana la aberatia ca dacii s-au transformat in Vlahi - o aberatie in scopul cautarii unei identitati proprii si separate pt romani . Vlahii au venit prima data pe aceste teritorii alungand Slavii care traiau aici - dupa mentiunile lui Nestor . Apoi au fost dispersati la venirea maghiarilor , dar au ramas in zona , ajungand sa dea primii Vlahi consemnati de Anonymous - ca Gelou . Erau minoritate atunci, dar s-au inmultit prin aducerea, venirea , acceptarea a noi Vlahi de la sud de Dunare . Daca ai ceva dovezi pt aberatiile tale - te ascult .
@@attilatasciko4817 Well , Greater Hungary , waved by all Hungarian revisionists , leaded by that scum named Orban, is no any better . You should acknowledge that Vlachs were mentioned by Nestor as arriving in this area before Hungarians did - they came from south of Danube . And they were given rights by the Arpadian kings, on a level with the other inhabitants of Transylvania . Those rights were canceled by Angevine kings, which leaded to a unappropriated rule over Romanians . That rule was shattered in 1919 , after another repulsive politic of Magyarization . And Romanians became majority in Transylvania , probably after Hungarian defeat and decimation by the Ottomans , when Hungary did not exist anymore for 350 years . Sure a Hungarian elite existed , to dominate the other nationalities , by owning the land and the local decision making . This was weakened by Austrian rule , who confirmed Romanian majority in two censuses at the beginning of 18 century . Since than , Hungarian politic was directed toward forcibly converting the other nationalities , to ensure a majority to justify their rule . This has been rightfully punished after WW1.
@@zolihun4729 You are very wrong . Nestor in Primary Chronicle writes about Vlachs arriving here before Magyars and dislocating Slavs who used to live on these territories . Magyars , at their arrival, dislocated those Vlachs , which were found later by the Magyars while occupying Transylvania - see the dux Gelou, mentioned by Anonymous . So your history is pretty much as nationalist as the Romanian one . I am not a partisan of the daco-roman continuity , but the Vlachs are our ancestors .

Small addition to the history of vlachs, more precisely aromans that the aroman banker named György Sina (born in Nis, Serbia in 1783) was who financed the first and most well-known bridge in Budapest: the famous Chain-bridge) whose architect was the Englishman Adam Clarck.
His bank was the second biggest bank after the Rothschild-bank in Vienna, Austria-Hungary at that time. He even supported the Habsburgs financially against Napoleon.
❤ Romanian here! Thank you so much for presenting an excellent short, but dense history of the vlachs. We managed to resist quite a long time in these parts. But like everything on this beautiful earth, it will come to an end. Right now, we are replaced by pakistani, nepalese and other middle eastern people, at an astonishing rate. And I know that we're not alone in that. The western europe already lost the battle and surrender their countries without a fight to the middle eastern. Quite an accomplishment in a very short time, I must say. Our ancestors must be so proud!.....👌😂
In Croatia and Bosnia, the "Serbian" population are actually descendants of Vlachs (Vlasi). They have adopted a Serbian ethnicity, as the the Serbian Orthodox Church preached for centuries that if you are Orthodox, than you must be Serbian. However, DNA studies have showed that they are actually genetically much closer to the other people around them, rather than Serbs in Serbia.
@@zrikizrikic9126 of course it is - it was invented by Constantine the Great, who was ethnically what would become later Vlach. As for your slavo-serbian identity, it's a sad story of destruction and assimilation into a barbarous language that back in those times was belonging to the swamps of Belorussia.
Vlach from central serbia here: great video in general! there aren't many out here in english with a broader explanation :) Would you mind, if you still have, link your sources? As it is a such complex minority there are always gaps especially from people outside our culture. Especially the stereotype only to be shepards ... there were more occupations. At some point "all" shepards were called vlachs inside serbia even with serbian ancestry. At some point serbs used the "higher" position of vlachs under ottoman occupation and pretended to be vlach. again tho: thanks for giving a broad view of us
and to add: in our mothertongue we still say "rumunjesce" but distuinguish one from another by our village name :)) the term vlach is actually never used, only super recently by mainly the mengleromanians and serbian vlachs from eastern serbia more and more
Thank you for watching. As for sources, it is mostly whatever I can find at the time. So much time goes into making these videos I just try to get them out as fast as I can. When this actually pays all my bills I will be able to think about such details.

Vlah is an exhonim from the German Walah ( stranger / foreigner) a word mostly used for romance speaking populations in the Balkans the poles still call Italy Vlahi to this day, and the Anglo saxons used it for the welsh ( Celtic speaking) population of the Uk. This is one of the best channels on RUclips if you want to learn real history and facts.
_Vlah is an exhonim from the German Walah (stranger/foreigner)_ "At the origin of the name Vlach is the name of a Celtic tribe (volcae), mentioned by Caesar (De bello Gallico. II .24; VII. 7 and 64). From here, the term passed to the Germans, designating, in Old German, first the neighbors from the south and west (walh = Roman and Romanized Gaul). The term then has a restriction in the German language, referring only to the inhabitants of the Italic Peninsula ( = Wălscher), without the general meaning having been completely lost, neither in German nor in Germanic languages (e.g. Waliser, Wales, etc.) As a result of the contacts between "Germany" and "Romania" [Roman Empire], this term was borrowed by the Slavic world, in direct and lasting contact with the German world starting from the 9th century; along with the knowledge of the Roman world, the Germans also transmitted this term to Slavs. At the very beginning of these permanent German-Slavic contacts, the anonymous biographer of the Apostle of the Slavs, Methodius applies the name "wlach" to the Italians, term obviously received from Germans. Vlah means, therefore, a foreigner, a non-Slav of the Romance language." (Adolf Armbruster)
I'm welsh / English/ Australian/ Romany. As a welsh man we have known for as long as I remember that 'Wales ' is old English ( or whatever 😂 ) for foreigner . I have however only just now seen the connection with European word 'vlach' and all its spelling variations, it's absolutely fascinating stuff ! ! I love it . I read somewhere once many moons ago that some of the Roman conscripts who came to Britain were in fact from modern day Romania .....
@@coryparni3620 some romanized Dacian soldiers where station in Deva Vitrix today Chester/ Cheshire I believe (Birdoswald fort) in Cambria there are inscriptions of a Cohorta Dacorum some people even link this to the legend of Arthur as most likely he was Sarmatian Noble under Roman Service by the name Artorius.
Termenul vlah este de origine germanică și desemna populație romanica , romanizată care vorbea latina sau o limbă înrudită cu ac asta. Derivatele termenului sunt valahi, volohi sau olahi. Vlahii din Balcani sunt urmașii populației romanizate de la sud de Dunăre care s=au retras de zonele montane odată cu așezarea slavilor la sud de Dunăre la începutul sec.VII, rupând unitatea romanității răsăritene. Astfel au apărut dialectele limbii române: aromân, meglenoromân și istroromân care se vorbesc de către comunitățile de vlahi din Serbia, Bulgaria, Albania, Macedonia. Și transhumanța are rolul ei în viața vlahilor balcanici. Și un alt lucru important este că 40.000 de familii de vlahi balcanici s-au așezat în România după primul război mondial, unde au fost împroprietăriți de statul român.
I am a Vlach and I take an interest in the topic and all, but forget all that. It’s the way you talk that gets me 🙂 I am a subscriber now, notifications on, and I will buy you coffee for sure.
The origins and migrations of the Vlachs are a touchy subject because, for a long time, they were never the tellers of their own stories. As in, other people wrote about them. What is known is that they were what was left of the Latin speakers after the Slavic invasions, and they survived because of the mountains and semi-nomadic way. Were there were mountains, there were Vlach's. Also, during the XIX century, the nationalist movements in the Balkans, with the use of schools, assimilated the minorities to the state's main culture. A Bulgarian man started identifying with Bulgaria and his brother with Serbia just because of their different schooling. Same thing happened in Romania to the local Slavs. The Genetical map of the regions shows that Romanian, Hungarians, Serbians, Bulgarians, are the same genetic-people.
Yes, genetically, we are pretty similar, that's why DNA is an important piece of a puzzle. As I stated in a different comment, a cat that barks is still a cat, so language can be misleading if we are following only that path. It's the dominant administrations that shaped the faith of a population. Before the proto-Thracians arrived, there were the Paleolithic Anatolians, most of us here share around 30% genetic pool with them.
In Mozart's beautiful opera "Cosi fan tutte" the two officers Guglielmo and Ferrando, as part of an elaborate scheme to prove the fidelity of their respective fiances, pretend to be called away to fight in a war, but instead return disguised as "turchi" or "valacchi" - Turks or Wallachians - but most translations of the original Italian say "Turks or Albanians."
@@Greensanctuary-c4w As I understand it Vlachs are Romanians and the word comes from the word" Wallachia" which ultimately comes from a Germanic word meaning "foreigner" because that's what Germanic peoples called their non Germanic neighbors like the Welsh in Britain, the Walloons in Belgium and indeed the Wallachians in Romania. Usually they were "romance" peoples leftovers from the Roman empire.
The vlach, romanians, are the ones that almost killed Napoleon on the Arcole bridge. The daima soldiers. Dai ma means hit it in romanian, but the french thought they were croats. It was the cowards of austrohungary that send the romanians to fight with Napoleon.
So, you are a VLACH or a Gypsi? Gypsies are originated into INDIA and they come in this part of Europe about 600 years ago... namely they were brought by the Otomans as slaves and from Turkey they fleed into est Europe, central Europe, western Europe and later to America!
Do you know when your ancestors left? A big group of Istroromanians (vlachs from croatia) left around ww2. Regards your username: G* is a slurword for romani. You shouldnt use it if it's just for fun purpose. And as you see vlachs always struggled with racism if they are not in the serbian/croatian stereotypical view.
Thank you so much for this, I'll have to watch it more than once to grasp all these intricate historical changes, well, at least the gist for my ageing brain:-) I've already given the due thumbs-up and shared.🙏
The word "vlachs/wallach/vlaski" is only an exonym for Romanians. The ethnic romanians never called themselves so, only the sorounding nations. They even the land "Valahia/Wallachia/Vallachia/Valasko" the romanians called "Țara Rumânească" and they write it on slavonic/cyrillic alphabet "Цѣра Рꙋмѫнѣскъ", what literally means "the romanian land". See the bukgarian, greek, roman, illyrian and moravian sources. On the other hand you can devide the romanians into Daco-Romanian, Istro-Romanian, Megleno-Romanian, Aromanian and the moravian vlachs. All this romanian groups have the same old romanian languages, same culture, same tradition, same music, same belives, same superstition and same mindset
in simpler terms, just like the 'deutsche' do not call themselves the roman word for foreigner 'german'. The different layers of purple between language flavor distribution is less than the difference between londoner english and scottish english and they live on the same island without major changes since the end of the norman invasion.
More simple version:wlach people nothing to do with Dacians especially they were Scythians. Also they been destroyed by the Ronan army. Other hand The wlachs first mention can be find in the Byzantine records as a escorts of caravans. 😊

It would be interesting for you to make a video about the romanian languages and how it evolved from the Dacian and latin languages. How it was spoken in earlyer centuries. And you can take it beyond that and show us the differences between the romanian, vulgar and classic latin, and why not other latin language like franch and Spanish.
There's no linguistical or cultural proof that we Romanians share any connection to the Dacians. There's nothing left from the Dacian language to prove such connection. But we are descendants of the Romans as we have definite proof to a linguistical evolution from Latin to Romanian.
@@InAeternumRomaMaterthere is a “historian “ in US that says that Romans with Traian killed all Dacians except few of Dacians that were taken as soldiers! So that is the reason Dacia is called today Romania! Because has been completely populated with Romans ! Can you believe this! All kinds of manipulation of history! Did anyone know about Galenus the Emperor that tried to change the Roman Empire name to Dacian Empire, mention by Lactantus! Do any one know that Julius Caesar, Augustus considered themselves Dardanoi, from Dardanele, from part of Thracia, that today is called Thracia, never changed name. Best is to look at places name and find history, many places today are still called Vlahia! History is beautiful if you tell the truth! .

The Vlachs of the Western Balkans are the descendants of the Eastern Roman Empire. In the 7th century, the Slavs and Avars decisively invaded, occupying some Balkan provinces of the empire. Migratory Slavs destroyed the Roman cities and by ferocity caused the retreat of the native inhabitants (called Vlachs by the Slavs) into forested or mountainous areas. Bosnia and Herzegovina is a predominantly mountainous state and forested areas cover almost 50% of the territory so this space was a favorable environment for the Vlachs. The Latin language spoken in the Eastern Roman Empire evolved a lot in the Balkans in the early Middle Ages becoming a Neo-Latin language sometimes also called Proto-Romanian. Romanian and Aromanian then evolved from Proto-Romanian. The Vlachs of the Western Balkans spoke a language similar to the Romanian language. The Vlachs were Christians, being descendants of the Eastern Roman Empire where Christianity was the official religion. The great disadvantage of the Vlachs in the Balkans at the time of the Slav invasion was the lack of a church of their own in which their language was used. Thus, through the church, they were Slavized. The oldest document that mentions the Vlachs of Serbia and Herzegovina was given by the jupanal Stefan Nemania around the years 1198-1199. After Slavization, the Vlachs also had to endure Islamization, following the occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina by the Turks. According to the Croatian historian Nenad Moacanin8, the Bosnian nation is made up of Muslims (the majority being Vlachs), Orthodox (almost all being Vlachs) and Catholics (a most being Vlachs). They have forgotten their mother tongue and speak Serbian. Serbia was populated in the Middle Ages by Vlachs. Vlachs from northern Serbia are called Romanians and live in Timoc, Banat and Vojvodina. Aromanians still live in the south of Serbia, called Cinciari in Serbian. The main objective of the Serbian nationalists was to replace in the ethnic nomenclature used in Bosnia but also in Serbia, the word Vlach with the word Serbian, promoted since school. The echoes of these campaigns are still felt today in the works of some historians from the countries of the former Yugoslavia, who still I claim that Vlach is a pejorative term. The Vlachs here have no rights whatsoever.
Vlachs used to have their church, but the invaders (Avars and Slavs) were pagan initially and burned down the churches. This happened before the great schism, when there was no Orthodoxy/Catholicism divide - that is why the core religious terms are of Latin origin in Romanian (Dumnezeu - Domine Deus, biserică - basilica, cruce - crux) , while the later liturgical terms are of slavic origin (bodaproste = Bog da prosti = Dumnezeu să te miluiască).
pls read more, even the etruscan are descendents of dacians and vlachians was the term geven to dacian from the otomans . u can not say such a stupidity . where roman empire was formed after they killed the etruscian and named the Etruria Rome
''Vlachs from northern Serbia are called Romanians and live in Timoc''. They are called Vlachs. Romanians live in Vojvodina, and they have their own Orthodox church which is a part if ROC. Cincars are considered a separate ethnic group in Serbia
@@zimskasalamabg The Vlachs in Timoc are called "Vlachs" only by Serbs. But in the Timoc Vlach language, there is no such word like "Vlach"! They name themselves traditionally in their own language "Rumâni” (old form for Romanians; 100 years ago one could read ”Rumania” on maps). Their language is perfect Romanian (but old Romanian, without the neologisms entered in the last 200 years in modern Romanian, due to isolation). More - before the term Romania entered circulation, Serbs named Romania - ”Vlashka” ( = the land of Vlachs). I can provide examples available on RUclips with such Vlach traditional singers naming themselves in old folk songs as ”Rumâni”.
Not sure if you’ve seen this but this Polish Etymology vid (with English subtitles) delves into the etymology of Wallachia/Wallonia/Wales/Włochy/Welschland ruclips.net/video/hgov-FdPdeU/видео.htmlsi=0RYa56RTvsH1IM6T I haven’t found a better vid than yours on Vlach law, really interesting subject! I’ve personally been fascinated by the “shepherd culture” impact on the highland Slavic cultures (Góral, Lemko, Rusyn, Boyko, Hutsul - all have specific sheep economy loan words from Vlach migration, and I speculate there was a lot more intermixing than just vocabulary 😅
Wlachs is european pronunciation of slavic word Vlasi,and they are serbian cattle hearders,who has get theirs name from slavic god Veles.And Veles is slavic god protector of the cattle hearders,who is descibed as man wearing cattle hide and cattle head.The Vlasi are videly spread in serbia,bosnia,and dalmatia,becouse serbs has lived there since Vinća civilization,or since 5508BC.By the way,in 19th century one serb has discovered 4470 serbian toponyms world wide,and others has confirmed that europe was full of slavic toponyms before Roman Empire.
I found so interesting and compelling the way you find links between the classic Welsh civilisation and Ro history! They apparently are completely different but Welsh (Galls) went thru these territories in their way towards West in ancient times.
And Nikola Tesla was also a Vlach or a Vlach of assimilated parents In short, researches showed that Tesla was Vlah / Morlac, of Romanian orthodox origin. To understand this we have to take a broader picture. Vlah /Morlack ethnicity were Romanians who fleed from Ottoman Empire military actions to the west and stopped in Croatia, then occupied by Austro-Hungarian Empire, because Ottomans never conquered Croatia. It happened that then ancient Serbia was trying to build Greater Serbia and broaden its territories to the west, including Bosnia and part of Croatia as a ‘Serbian natural soil’. So Serbian Orthodox Church (SPC) went on a mission to Croatia to convert orthodox Vlah’s and Morlac there to become Serbians because of the similar religion. They needed an excuse for expanding their territories and more orthodox people they convert to Serbs more excuses they had to expand Greater Serbia to the west and claim territory.
Romanians didn't call themselves vlachs, they called themselves... romanians due to their Roman heritage. And, yes, they assimilated all other populations. The Romanian nation is a part of the Roman Empire legacy.
He said that outsiders did. However the term _Vlach_ was used by the Vlach elites. Take the example of the first Vlach dynasty, House of Asan did use the term.
Hello Ben, really enjoyed this video and learned new things I've never heard in history class at school. I'm romanian and I only recently learnt that history is different from a country to another when I met with a bulgarian lady and we started from friends talking about our countries are neighbours and ended up 'arguing' about Dobrogea. But we've decided to stop the talking about history because we didn't want to fight about a subject we've learnt different in schools. i apologise for the spelling, still learning english 😊
This is a stupid question, romanians are vlachs and vlachs are romanians. Its like German and Deutsche, 2 different appellations for the same thing, in this case people.
Like in the Germans case, the affirmation is almost 100% precise. There are some cases in which vlach = romanian is not true. Aromanians are also named vlachs by their neighbors, but they are not Romanians, except (A) they want to identify as such; OR (B) we consider the term ”Romanian” as a broad term for all Eastern Romance speakers. Same for Deutsch: not 100% equals German. The form Dutch, from the very same root, means Nederlander / Hollander.
Funnily enough castrated horse is "wałach" in Polish coming frmo Vlachs who supposedly did this to keep their horses easier to manage on their mountain passes (yup we're diving into folk ethymology a bit here), but Vlachs are still living among Poles in our Mountainious regions, as we have separate villages were "Lachy" (Poles) are living and that would mean, not all highlanders are Lachs. Unless Lachs in this case are Vlachs without "V", but all our present and past neighbours to the east and South East (Turkey for example) call us Lachy/ Lechy (Poland is Lechistan).
Modern Serbian historiography denies the Vlachs any ethnicity other than Serbian. While the Serbs acknowledge that originally the term designated the Balkan Romance population, the Serbs claim that after the 13th century all Vlachs were ethnic Serbs who made their living as shepherds, paramilitary auxiliaries and long-distance transporters of goods. In this view of history the Vlachs of Bosnia, Montenegro, Greece, Albania, Bulgaria and Croatia were actually Serbs. In fact Vlach is a synonym for Serb. As proof they point to Serbian names, Slavonic (i.e. Serbian) writing, and adherence to the Serbian Orthodox Church. Similarly modern Bulgarian historiography claims the Vlachs of the Second Bulgarian Empire were merely pastoralist Bulgarians. In turn the Greeks claim the Vlachs of Greece are Greeks who were partially Romanized. In contrast the Croatians assert the Serbs of Croatia (who participated in the wars of the 1990's) are actually Serbianized Vlachs.
Wlachs are not romanian people,Wlachs is just european pronunciation of slavic word Vlasi.Wich are serbian cattle hearders,who has get theirs name from slavic god Veles.The protector of cattle,and cattle hearders.Veles is descibed as man wearing cattle hide,and cattle head.And Vlasi are videly spread in serbia,bosnia,and dalmatia,since serbs are oldest people in balkan and europe.And oldest serbian ancestors lived in europe since Vinća civilization or since 5508BC,and has get name from second slavic emperor Serbo Makeridov in 1500BC.And i will add,that fake slavic and fake serbian history was created by Nordic History School,and forced upon slavs and serbs by Berlin Congress in 1890.And i will add,that Greece is builded in 19th century after Berlin Congress,on serbian land,and from slavic culture.And Greece never did existed in Roman Empire times,since serbian kingdom was made of,slovenia,croatia,bosnia,montenegro,serbia,macedonia,albania,greece,and bulgaria.About bulgarians i have learn,that theirs name comes from Volga Aria,lately changed to Volgaria,then to Bulgaria.And about "greek symbols and alphabet",i know that they are slavic,stolen from slavs by greeks.Just find slavic symbol swara,symbol of slavic god swarog,and compare it to greek symbol,and symbol from ancient potery,from 5508BC.Then tell me,did greece has existed in 5508BC.PS:Pardon me for being so long,and here something for you,checkout german site Slawenischeberg.

You understood everything backwards, the Istro-Romanians, the Megloromani and the Aromanians are all related to the Romanians. When Hungary conquered Pannonia, several caravans left Pannonia, this fact is it is even shown in a document called: "descriptio Europa Orientale". Vlachs from the Czech Republic even have in their folklore how they left Trasylvania with 12 caravans. The Vlachs have never called themselves "Vlachs" they have called as "Rumani". In Transylvania, the Vlachs were so persecuted by Hungary that the Black Prince (Negru Voda) fled from Trasylvania with all its subjects and founded the Vlah (Romanian) Country and Dragusi Voda fled from Maramuresi and founded the Principality of Molova. In the Romanian countries there was even a department called "UNGURENII" (Hungarians) whose mission was to MANAGE THE INFAX OF THE POPULATION THAT WAS FLEEING FROM HUNGARY, # some real documents, not fairy tales ruclips.net/video/ggmqI4qAaQM/видео.html ruclips.net/video/NJSlY77_rgU/видео.html ruclips.net/video/4UgjBXPVt18/видео.html
My take as one of the Vlachs/Romanians as one of the Vlachs: We are the direct descendants of Thracians, direct remain of the predecessors of Romanians and all the Roman countries . We had a freedom of rising and living on the beautiful Carphatian mountains range, tending our flocks from Olympus on the south to Polish Carphatians - Lower Silesia "the Vlach country" on the north . After all even Herodotus claimed that we the Thrace were the largest population in the world, after the Inds.

One thing that you failed to mention is that Vlach as a term evolved over time from being an ethnic term to more of a class term of shepherds and border guards. Many Slavs (Croatians, Serbians) followed the Vlach way of life and became shepherds and soldiers because they saw it as a better life than a classic medieval serfdom. Most of the Balkan Vlachs were Slavicized that way, and of course through the Old Church Slavonic language which was the liturgical language in the Balkans at the time.
Wlachs are not romanian people,Wlachs is just european pronunciation of slavic word Vlasi.And Vlasi are cattle hearders from serbia,bosnia,and dalmatia.Who has get theirs name from slavic god Veles,the protector of cattle and cattle hearders.Who is descibed as man wearing cattle hide and cattle head.And Vlasi are mostly serbs,since serbs are oldest people in balkan and europe.
The Vlach migration into nortwestern direction was a seperate migration and culturally influenced Slavic peoples like the Rusyns, Hutsuls,Gorals etc in what is today Ukraine, Poland, Czechia & Slovakia.
@BenLlywelyn I love the information in your videos. Do you know anything about the Cumins of eastern Europe? They seem to come from no place, expand to be the biggest nation in eastern Europe then disappear.....

In USA they studied the walnut DNA and its found to come from the carpathians. Thats why americans call it carpathian walnut. The famous Chandler walnut of USA has 90% carpathian genes and 10% american black walnut genes. Walnuts come from Persia but the european ones are from the Carpathian mountains.
@@mihaiilie8808 Interesting. In Russia, walnut is known as Greek nut. Like in the case of turkey it depends on where the nut came from in the particular country. According to Wikipedia Nuc is Romanian for walnut. which sounds to me pretty similar to nux, Nux is Latin for nut. Maybe in some other Slavic countries or in Hungary they call walnut Carpathian Nut, and the tree and the name came to the US with immigrants.
@@icannotfinda Actually, that ”Wal-” is from ”Wallachian...”. But not from Romanian. It dates from the times the Germanic tribes were importing such nuts from south, where the Latin-speaking (then Romance-speaking) people were. As opposed to other ”local” nuts.
The word Vlach/Wallachian (and other variants such as Vlah, Valah, Valach, Voloh, Blac, oláh, Vlas, Ulah, etc.[1]) is etymologically derived from the ethnonym of a Celtic tribe,[5] adopted into Proto-Germanic *Walhaz, which meant "stranger", from *Wolkā-[7] (Caesar's Latin: Volcae, Strabo and Ptolemy's Greek: Ouolkai).[8] Via Latin, in Gothic, as *walhs, the ethnonym took on the meaning "foreigner" or "Romance-speaker" and later "shepherd, nomad".[8][5] The term was adopted into Greek as Vláhoi or Blachoi (Βλάχοι), Albanian vllah, Slavic as Vlah (pl. Vlasi) or Voloh, Hungarian as oláh and olasz, etc.[9][10][11] The root word was notably adopted in Germanic for Wales and Walloon, and in Switzerland for Romansh-speakers (German: Welsch),[5] and in Poland Włochy or in Hungary olasz became an exonym for Italians.[8][1] The Slovenian term Lahi has also been used to designate Italians.[12] The same name is still used in Polish[13][14](Włochy, Włosi, włoskie) and Hungarian[15][16] (Olasz, Olaszország) as an exonym for Italy, while in Slovak[17] (Vlasi), Czech[18] (Vlachy) and Slovenian[19][20] (Laško[21], Láh, Láhinja, laško) it was replaced with the endonym Italia.

Was there a Bosniak identity/culture prior to Islamization? What major ethnic groups did modern ethnic groups descend from prior to Slavization? Etc

Romanians are called Vlachs by other neighboring peoples for political purposes and not always with clean purposes (that is, with the aim of forcibly distinguishing them from those from Romania and to assimilate them more easily). The Romanians themselves do not call themselves Vlachs. It is the same as in the case of other peoples, for example: Deutchs-Germans, Magyars-Hungarians, Hellenes-Greeks, etc. Even the Romanians from the Balkans are called ,,Armani" - Aromanians in their language , not Vlachs. Anyway, the term "Vlach" comes from the German "wallach" (some sources say from the Greek) and means "Latin speaker" or ,,Foreigner", as in the case of the Walloons from Belgium or the Welsh from Wales. In the documents, the name Ungrovlahia was used for medieval Wallachia (due to foreign political influence) BUT in the people the country was called "Tara Romaneasca" meaning Romanian Land". And the people called themselves "Romanian" or "Rumanian" - the old form, not Wallachian. Even the Moldavians or Transylvanians called themselves "Romanians" in their language.
again, it is not 'us' or 'them', it is just 'we' when we talk about the centuries before statehood while the 'westerners' were having a bad time in large communities during the Black Plague.
Love the reaction whenever some1 thinks he's insinuating something controversial like "vlachs weren't here first ":)) But, if you like history, you gotta deal with unpleasant truths, its just the way it is. And you need to look from outside perspectives since, lets be real, the history i got tought in school was pure propaganda. Atleast the Romanian history i learnt in middle school was. Nowdays i do look for different sources, and its always nice when some new information gets unearthed either by archeology or simply finding old texts. Yes, i do watch some hungarian channels that deal with history since i want to see it from that side aswell, jsut, peace of advice...dont go to comment section. For some reason , comment section in some videos have the wonderful power of uniting both hungarians and romaninans alike. They unite them into being morrons on both sides:)) Still i see you are doing alot of romania related videos, and you did mention aromanians in this video. id reccomend studying them a bit since they have a really interesting history, and, best of, they still are around today, although in small numbers.

@@codreanupetronel Yes, they fit literary. Similarly, Thraks = Thurks, Goths = Geths, Iberians = Bibers. Most likely, there were left Avars or Kabars. They would have spoken a Romance language like the Sicilians, not an agglutinated one.
In Dalmatia a name for inland population of Dalmatia no matter ethnicity is "Vlaj" and for islanders is "Boduli/Bodulci", still today there are many last named that end with "ul" like Burčul or Kožul which are for sure of Vlach origin but today when you say Vlajo (J is Y) you think of any resident of Dalmatia or Herzegovina that is a bit further from sea, so in my family case is my mom side are "Vlaj" and dad side is "Boduli" but both are ethnic Croats . Btw i would love to know why Croatian islanders are called Boduli because even if we use that name i don't think i really know the explanation.
Ending -ul is the article. In the rest of Romance languages, it stays ahead: anul (Ro) = l'année (Fr) = el año (Es). Most Romanian names today end in -u because the L becomes silent sometimes. Anu' nou (in rapid speech) = la nouvelle année = el nuevo año
One woman of Hungarian decent (that Charles is descendant of) claimed she was a descendant of the Drăculeștii dynasty that Vlad Dracula Țepeș was a member of.

It is considered that Vlahs (in Croatian: Vlasi or Vlahi) were the remnants of Romanized populations in Balkans, especially in eastern and south-eastern part of what is today considered as Balkan. Some of them very early (probably from 6th and 7th century) started to mix them selves with different Slavic communities. Only those among Vlahi which lived in mountains maintained their language and social structure which was adapted to the terrain and the climate. It seems to me that especially in Croatian Dinaric-Adriatic region assimilation and mixture of indigenous people and of Sloveni and the Croats was done very early. Archaeology in Dalmatia shows (as I have read some recent archaeological reports from excavation sites) for period from 6th to 9th century overlaps and mixture of both Slavic and earlier Christianized material culture. In documents related to Croatia in early middle ages (7th to 12th century) there is no mention of Vlahi or Vlasi. But we have different evidence: sources (Frankish and Byzantine) contain mentions of Romanized inhabitants in Dalmatia under general name as Romani and not Vlachs or Vlasi / Vlahi. For example, Frankish Annales Regni Francorum for year 817 said that it was delegation (emissary) to the emperor Hludowic with aim to resolve the disputes about borders between "Sclaveni Dalmati and Romani". (The very problem with this Latin text in Annales is the lack of comma between Sclaveni and Dalmati; the most of historians think that there is no comma (,) between Sclaveni and Dalmati because the term "Sclaveni Dalmati" indicating that Slavic speaking population living in Dalmatia was designating them selves in year 817 (!) as Dalmati (originally Delmatae or Dalmatae was the name of nation living in the territory in Roman times (documented in Roman sources from 2nd century BC, regarding wars they fought against Romans till the year 9th AD). So, this means that in Dalmatia mixture between Sclaveni and Hrvati (Chroatae in Latin, Croats) and remnants of Dalmati people was already finished. Only those which escaped to the fortified towns on the coast keep their vulgar Latin language and identity; and they are in sources known as Romani. Vlachs or Vlahi/Vlasi are recorded in Croatian territory only in late middle ages, related to the migration coming to Croatian territory from south-east of Balkans. There was no Vlachs in Croatia under that name before the late middle ages; there is no mention of them in historical records nor in official documents.Vlahi or Vlasi started their migration to Croatia from south-east of Balkans, related to the Turkish Ottomanic conquest. While in Serbia Vlasi/Vlahi were mentioned in 14th century as a separate ethnic group in Serbian codices of laws. Croatian "Vinodolski zakonik" (Law Codex of Vinodol) from 1288 contains no mention of Vlahi or Vlasi. .... The fact actually is that Vlachs were in military service for Ottomans and as a light infantry and light cavalry VLACHS (akindjiya and haramiya) made massacres and slaughters in Croatian villages against Croatian and Slavic peasants (tactics of burned land; akindjiya and haramiya were killing and destroying entire villages with aim to force nobility or to join the Ottomans (Osmanli) or go away from the territory; of course nobility was more or less safe from raids of Vlachs in fortifide castles). My claims and statements here are proven through historical records and through archaeology. And maybe worthy to mention that historian and writer of ecclesiastical history of episcopy of Split, Thoma Archidiaconus (Toma Arhiđakon in Croatian; archidiaconus = archdean) wrote in cca. year 1250 AD "Historia Salonitana". In his work Thoma says that Goths and 7 or 8 noble clans of Slavs which came from Poland mixed with indigenous inhabitants named "Snati". (City Split was developed from the palace-fortress of emperor Diocletianus (cca. year 300 AD), where inhabitants of nearby ancient capital Salonae, which was destroyed during the 7th century AD, took refuge.) So conclusion is: Vlachs started their migration to Croatia only in late middle ages and in early new ages (15th to 17th century) as a consequence of Turkish Osmanlic (Ottoman) conquest.
Nope... There is a genetic and folcloric and linguistic continuum between SARDINIA and NORTHERN ROMANIA (moldova region)... passing through CROATIA today... The same ancestral DANCE of the BULLS from SARDINIA is to be seen (or was till very recently because now ...most of the Aromanians from Croatia vanished/got assimilated) in Romanians from CROATIA (the dance was called ZVONCIARI in the Vlahs from Croatia) and in Romanians from northern Romania/Moldova. There is a unique connection between Romanians and Sardinians ONLY (not the continental Italians) which is to be seen in our GENETICS and the genetics of many of the modern balkan populations (croatians, serbians, bulgars included also) and is also to be seen in our UNIQUE COMMON WORDS and UNIQUE COMMON ANCESTRAL TRADITIONS and UNIQUE toponims... like for example: PEDRA DI DOCHIA in Sardinia and STÂNCA DOCHIEI in Moldova (romania) BUE DI SARDINIA aka THE ANCESTRAL SIMBOL OF THE BULL WITH A STAR BETWEEN HORNS in SARDINIA and the same tradition ans simbol in ROMANIA... and MOLDOVA in particular... just look at the MAIN SIMBOL ON THE MOLDAVIAN FLAG TODAY which is also a PART OF THE ROMANIAN COAT OF ARMS... the same BULL WITH A STAR BETWEEN HIS HORNS! PUSCHEDU (in SARDINIAN) = BAMBINO / KID PUȘTIU in Romanian = BAMBINO/KID DURGHERI (in sardinian) = CARPENTER DULGHER in Romanian = one word for carpenter DANDANU/TANDANU in Sardinian = unpleasant situation/trouble DANDANA in ROMANIAN = one word for TROUBLE... PISICU in Sardinian (one word for CAT beside the usual GATU) = PISICA in Romanian for CAT .... TATA = one word for FATHER in SICILY and SARDINIA = TATA in Romanian beside TATUC/TATIC/TAICA... and TATKO in serbocroat and bulgarian and TATA in polish ... beside the slavic OTETZ which is present in all the balkan slavs and the other slavs!

As a descendant of "Wallachian" colonists in the Low Beskyds I found your video interesting if quite a bit controversial. First, you overemphasize the ethnic component in the word "Wallach". Most of the Vlach Law settlers in northern Hungary were eastern Slavs from whom I descend. Wallach came to mean a vocation rather than ethnicity. Today, the word valach in the region means a young farmhand. It's undeniable that the eastern romance culture influenced the culture of my ancestors, but it's equally undeniable that my ancestors were slavic and not romance speakers (hence, the quotation marks "" above). Second, the Vlach Law was a set of settlement agreements made between the colonists and the land owners, not a unified legal system. Based on a previous system designed to settle German colonists (so called German laws), it granted certain privileges and duties to the new settlers, which you've already mentioned in the video. Oftentimes the ethnic and legal components of these settlements were written (carved with deep letters) into the very name of the settlements to, I suspect, remind the landowners of the settlers' rights (e.g. Ruská Voľa - Ruthenian Freedom, i.e. from paying taxes). Unlike the Germans, these people had low status within society and, deprived of any landed elites, their rights were eroded until they were eventually enserfed.
Language and roots have shifted so many times in the Balkans it is difficult to say who was what even 500 years ago. Some may have been Slavic, Albanian, Vlach, Saxons, and Vlachs again into Romanians in the same family over that time.
Well said that, as much as they both hate to admit it, without Hungary the Vlachs couldn't have established Wallachia and Moldavia, without the Vlachs the Hungarians couldn't have defended their borders. Without the Hungarian written law, it is likely the Vlachs would have made the jump from unwritten law to written law much later, and without Vlachs on the border of the Kingdom of Hungary to fight for Hungary in exchange for not being taxed like a regular Hungarian many Mongol or Tattar invasions would have been much worse, and they were already bad.

Rome is a Greek word means power,strength. In ancient Greek texts the word is written with ω ,Ρώμη = Rome ,and not Ρόμη as it would be written if the word was not Greek. Check out the script ΡΩΜΗ on a 5th century BC marble inscription. in the Vatican museum Rome = power , follows the displacement of power. Constantinople = New Rome, Moscow = the third Rome, the Holy Roman Empire, the Sultanate of Rum, etc. The Greek meaning of the word Rome is also the reason why citizenship was invented for the first time in history calling the citizens Romans, Romioi , Rum, giving them the "power" =the Roman citizenship. Arumanians-Vlachs are not a nation. Arumanians are Dacians -Illyrians -Greeks-Thracians Latinized populations.
we know who are the vlachs/walachs or Vlaci, They are getes/daces/Goths/in fact they are celts. Romanians is a fake name changed walachs by the fanariots politic. The getes are a fraction of celts/pelasgian and the language is the old celts. I sugest to read a lot of books to speak abaut gets/goths/celts/gaulois. i sugest to read PELLOUTIER, M PARIS the name of the Wallach, etc.
You are on the subject with this. Except that we like romanian. The romans themselves are celts because the etruscans and the trojans were celts. Vulgar latin speakers.
@@mihaiilie8808 how do you even define a celt? The gauls were also celts. The dacians kicked out the gauls from core Dacia and later from Panonia during the shorter lived Greater Dacia. If you go too far you can say we are all messopotamians.

The original I2 DINaric male is the tallest on average with the I1 ScanDINavian being second.
I think is fair to say we can NOT talk about a roumanian origin without it's slavic heritage :). Now, we don't want to face facts , but slavs were the bigest migratory tribes that came into our teritory around V century., after the aurelian roman retreat. They restructured political , religious and cultural structures and later they configured the roumanian alphabet. A Few know that for two centuries , we had written in Cyrillic alphabet ( old roumanian language) . At the half of the 19th century, we desperately needed a national identity, so we begin a proces of "relatinization" . However, balcanic regions gave much more influnces than romans during our history. Today, we are having all sorts of cultural stuff from serbs, turkish,ukrainians and bulgarians. We like to call ourselves "clean latin people" but we know this is not the reality. We can not talk about our origins without the slavic influences. And if you need much more evidences, just take a look over our traditional clotches.
Cunosti istorie cum cunosc eu matematica. Nu a existat niciodata o "relatinizare" a limbii romane. Mai bine citeste tot articolul de pe wikipedia, nu doar titlul, daca tot vrei sa te informezi de acolo. Daca nu esti analfabet functional, o sa vezi la ce se refera termenul "relatinizare" de fapt. Nu a luat nimeni cuvinte cu lopata sa le bage colectiv in capul moldovenilor, muntenilor si transilvanenilor. Ridicol.
@@codreanupetronelWe did, we had slavic alphabet for almost 500 years, as we call it now "the old roumanian" . Why do you think we say "da" just like russians do? There is a link here :)
@@Dragosflash But that was because of the byzantins. And the introduction into orthodox christianity. That's the reason for the slavic alphabet. And last time I checked ethnicity, nationality aren't linked by religion? (I also was recently in the museum in Bucurest where this is exactly explained and showed hahahah) But what I agree is that the modern romanian populisation has a big influence genetically of slavs. You mixed with all the ethnicities that were fighting before romania/ tara rumuneasca was established and romani enslaved. Lots of bulgarian and serbian DNA is mixed in the regions its borders or regards moldavia with ukrainian/russian dna. that's all about the slavic admixture of modern romanians. Vlachs werent slavs. They only mixed in the modern day partially in plan of assimilation.

Almost all Romanian settlement names in Székelyföld come from the Hungarian settlement name. So the Romanians had Romanian settlement names, despite the original Romanian name of many Romanian settlement names have changed in the previous 100 years for various reasons. Often to disguise the nationality of the former inhabitants of the locality (the "Magyar" (Hungarian) prefix was removed or changed to "Nagy" (big), but the "Oláh" (Vlach/Romanian) prefix remained on the settlement pair: "Mare” and "Românesc"). The anti-ethnic motivation is also evident in the territorial distribution of the renames: the Carpathian Basin and Dobruja suffered the most.
For example, the Romanians renamed 135 settlements in Kolozs county, while zero settlements were renamed in many old Romanian counties.
In this list, we can see the renamed Romanian settlements by counties:

@@MAKDavid-1 Bro go back to Quora
@@wallachia4797 I am not your Bro and stop being a grave robber identity thieves for its disgusting what your kind is doing.
Mister Ben Llywelyn, i am going to tell you a sad story about vlachs.
Vlachs speak 5 languages that made so called the eastern european languages.These are the languages:
1.Daco-romana called romanian today spread from the tisza river in the west to Nistru river in the east and from the danube river in the sound to the transcarpathia region and south of royal poland( lviv city, ivano-frankovsk)
2.Meglenita or megleno-romana spoken from the danube river to the greek thracia...the most famous meglenitza cities were: xanthi in greece, blagoevgrad in bulgaria.The big number of meglenits people you can find in the history of asan dinasty of bulgaria and the influence of the meglenit language you can find it in the way the bulgarians are using their grammar which is completely different from the serbian or croatian grammar
3.Aromanian language spoken in the region of epirus ,south of albania,north of thessaly and the mountains of north macedonia having its capital in moscopole(voskopoje today in albania).
4.Morlachian language spoken from the north of montenegro, dalmatia and west of bosnia.today only a few villages speack this language,During the croatian history you can find different strong morlachian fortresses in the mountains of dalmatia.The influence of the morlachian language can be seen in the croatian grammar or music.Also all the top of the dalmatian mountains have morlachian names.the most famous name of a mountain in dalmatia is DURMITOR in montenegro which in morlachian language means the "the sleepy one"'.
5.Istro-romanian spoken not only in istria peninsula but also in the south of slovenija and the south of hungary and austria..even in tyrol region
This is the big east romance language family which was not so lucky to survive as west romance language family did.
Why it wasnt so lucky?BECAUSE OF THE UNWRITTEN VLACHIAN LAW: to be a faithfull subject of the state who protect their families and wealth.This law of honor and fidelity of vlachs for the country they lived in and protect them,put them in stupid situations during history: you can see during history family of vlachs killing each other because they were fighting for rivalry states like greece and bulgaria, or greece and serbia or serbia and bulgaria.
Also their vlach wealth atracted much envy and hate which lead to genocide and forced assimilation by the states of the balkan peninsula:
1.the famous genocide of vlachs in 1788 done by albanians when the moscopole capital of aromanians was completly burn and pillaged by the albanian troops of ALI PASA
2.The famous genocide of morlachians done by croatians during history where morlachians from being natives of the land became a 2nd class citizens of the croatian kingdom;this led to completly assimilation and distruction of the morlachian language and culture.they were good to be used as soldiers by the croatian kingdom against turks but when they needed their rights to be respected the same croatian kingdom call them cattle thiefs and treat them as gipsy.
3.the cultural genocide done by greeks and bulgarians during the balkanic wars and WW1 when they forced the local population to fight on the greek side or bulgarian side, vlachs ending up killing each other because they were in the opposed different armies. the closing of romanian schools for the local vlachs where they studied the aromanian language by the greek, serbian or bulgarian ultra nationalistic goverment in 1918-1940
4.the stolen land did by greeks immigrants coming from pontus and smyrna during the greek genocide of 19818 done by turks..back then these immigrants were used by the nationalistic greek goverment to steel land from vlachs and took that land as property..this silent war done against aromanians end it up with a huge migration of vlachs into romanian dobrogea region.
and the act or atrocities done by these states against vlachs still goes on..
even today vlachs in greece dont have the right to speack their language..they are "greek latinophones"...in bulgaria the meglenitza and the aromanian language are gone...all the locals were assimilated and forced to speack bulgarian.....in albania the rich lands of moscopole belongs to albanians now..
The vlachs contribution to the history of the balcanic states are forgotten and erased :
1.the asan dinasty of bulgaria is not meglenitic is bulgarian...every nationalistic bulgarian knows that..even if history says differently
2.the economic contribution of vlachs to the establishement of the national bank of greece or the vlachs heroes who died in different wars for the formation of greek state is erased because all heroes are greek not vlachs.even today the last 15000 vlachs who remained in greece dont have the right to speak their language and have their schoos.is shamefull to speack aromanian in greece.
3.the contribution of morlachs to the culture of croatia is erased because the proud croatians have pure blood and their songs and customs are not inspired by the "dirty morlachs"
4.the vlasin population from the timoc valley in serbia still today don t have romanian churches and orthodox romanian priests because "they dont exist" in the eyes of the nationalistic serbian goverment.
ALL THESE STATES DIDN T SEE IN VLACHS A CULTURAL BRIDGE UNITING THE PEOPLE OF BALKANS..they saw only assimilation, apartheid and forced colonisation or stealing land against the brave vlachs who kept their word and honor in protecting the states where they lived(states who responded during history for vlachs with a politic of genocide and asimilation)
THIS IS THE SAD HISTORY OF VLACHS...NOBODY LEARN THIS SAD STORY IN HISTORY BOOKS BECAUSE IT NEEDS TO BE HIDDEN.IS A DIRTY PAGE OF HISTORY DONE BY THE ULTRA NATIONALISTIC LITTLE NATION OF THE BALKANS.IT WAS A LONG SILENT GENOCIDE AGAINST VLACH LANGUAGE, HISTORY AND CULTURE.
I AM HALF CAPPADOCIAN GREEK AND HALF ROMANIAN SO I KNOW THE BALKAN HISTORY SO WELL.I AM TELLING THIS SAD STORY BECAUSE THE FORGOTEN PAIN OF THE VLACHS MUST BE TOLD NOT ERASED.THE PEOPLE OF THE BALKAN STATES ARE GUILTY OF THIS TERIBLE GENOCIDE THAT TOOK SO MANNY YEARS AND KILLED AND ASSIMILATED 90% OF THE ROMANIZED NATIVE POPULATION OF THESE REGION.

@@laurentiupacioglu6555 You don't understand my point . Romanians , in their majority , think that they appeared out of thin air everywhere - from south of Balkans to Poland, Slovakia and up to the Don in Russia . They consider the Balkan Vlachs as being a branch of Romanians , not vice-versa . Somehow , the Dacians transformed in Romanians , nobody can explain how and when .
Myself , I believe that , we Romanians, descend mostly from Vlachs of south of Danube , which crossed the river north , in the same way , they spread up to Greece or other parts . Moldavia, for example , is Vlach-Romanian expansion , in most of it's territory .
None of us is the original Vlachs , but evolution of the romanized latin speaking ,population of the Balkans . You may admit this , but most of the Romanians do not.
You are right , there are no persecutions against Aromanians in Romania , but this does not mean that their origin is not negated in official history .
Right here in this thread I've seen a comment sounding like "come to motherland" - meaning Romanians consider you are split from the mighty Romanian people and land , north of Danube .
Finally, someone explained the truth! Congratulations!

Enjoying your series on Romanians and Romanian language! Mulțumesc!
I am Romanian, but Romanians have only existed since 1859, when the Danubian Principalities, Moldova and Wallachia, united and decided that the people should be known as "Romanians", a name similar to "Romans". Romanians from Transylvania remained known as Wallachians until 1918 when Transylvania was united with Romania.
The Romanians are the old Dacians who inherited the Latin language, over whom came the Slavs, then other influences - Turks, Bulgarians, Hungarians, etc. who influenced the language, now called Romanian.
Texts of Wallachian origin date only from the 14th century and were written in Slavonic, an old Slavic language used by the Orthodox clergy.
@@stefanbabutiu5145 Romanians have existed since the Vlachs have existed. 'Vlach' is just an exonym used by foreigners, but their endonym has always been 'rumân' or 'român,' and this name was used by all inhabitants of Wallachia, Moldavia, and Transylvania. The theory of Dacian origin is quite recent and gained traction during communism, but Romanians throughout their history have always referred to themselves as Romans, and there is little evidence of what they were before Romanization (probably a mixture of everything, Dacians, Thracians, Illyrians, etc.).

@@MAKDavid-1 Hahaha, such a good joke Gábori-Gyspy-Bozgor!!! It literally says on the Wiki page about their language that the term _Vlax_ was coined by a British linguist to identify Gypsies that have slave origin in the Vlach Principalities hence the term _Vlax_ from _Vlach._ Their language was influenced by the Vlach (Romanian) language, but they aren't related: "The language's name Vlax Romani was coined by British scholar Bernard Gilliat-Smith in his 1915 study on Bulgarian Romani, in which he first divided Romani dialects into Vlach and non-Vlach.[4][5] The Vlax Roma, a subgroup of the Romani people that speak the Vlax Romani language, originate from the former Roma slaves in the principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia (with the name "Vlax", which comes from "Vlach", coming from the latter)". Those two people groups aren't related.
But let's talk about the Gábori-Magyar-Gypsies and the true origin of the Magyar-gypsy people from Punjab! This is what Liverpool University has to say about Gábori: "As Hungarian Gypsies, by their murecan origin, these Roma enjoy an image of seriousness and righteousness in the region. Their 'magyarity' has westernised and, in so doing, civilised them." - Martin Olivera, (June 2012). Romani Studies(Vol. 22, Issue .Liverpool University Press (UK)
Magyars are true Gypsies, hence the word "Hungarian" from Greek "Oungroi" that originates from "Gábor-Gypsy":(H)ungarian>Oungroi>Gabori-Gypsies. Also the Balkan exonym to Gábori-Magyar-gypsy culture: "Bozgor" that comes from Oungroi and the latter from from Gábori-Gypsy😊
It is not about the lacking of Romanian texts . It is about the lacking of ANY text mentioning Proto Romanians , Daco-Romans or any "continuators" , north of Danube , after say, 5-6th century . Others around were capable to write , they wrote about every migrator who passed or lived on this territory , but they didn't see the proto-Romanians . One wrote that population spoke the language of the Goths or Huns, other wrote that north of Danube was the land of the Slavs , none spoke about Romanians north of Danube .
And Romanian texts appeared much later . Vlach population appeared in 12-13 century , in a significant number .
@@seaman5705 I don't think you look at it the right way. It is factually correct that let's say ca. 5th - 8th c. nobody mentioned any Latinophone population north of the danube river; however the reason doesn't prove anything, neither for it nor against it. People wrote what they needed at that time, not what somebody needs to know 1,5k years later on RUclips. Latin speaking Romans were a significant number in the Balkans, and Florin Curtea on the broadcast "Hot News", explained that archeology does in fact show a continuation of a latinophone population after the withdrawal of the Romans from Dacia ca. 271-275 ad. So for a Roman writer to document that north of the danube it existed a Latin speaking population wouldn't happen, for them it was obvious. They barely cared to write that Latin speakers lived north of Jireček line, the only reason they have been mentioned is because they were part of the ERE's political situation. After the Balkans fell to the Sclavenes, Latin speaking people aren't any longer mentioned until 11th century.
Also, the idea that a Latin speaking population still existed north of the danube isn't a controversy any longer in the academic field. We do know that a latinophonic population still remained in Dacia after the Roman withdrawal; the only question as Florin Curtea pointed out is whether they have anything to do with Romanians as we cannot prove such connection just with archeology. We need linguistical proof of a continuum between us and them. Florin Curtea suggests that the Romanian population would have originated from a Christianized Roman population on both side's of the danube.

15:09 You got it wrong here friend. Vlachs didn't "revolt with Bulgarians to form the Bulgarian Empire". The revolt of 1185 was a purely Vlach revolt, that Bulgarians and Cumans partook in, and they formed the Empire of the Vlachs or "Vlachian Empire" and not a Bulgarian one! It is true that the Asan dynasty which (was the first Vlach dynasty in history), claimed Bulgarian Imperial succession from the Old Bulgarian Empire (681-1018), but that's called a "Translatio Imperii". The Empire was still Vlach, and writers such as Geoffroi de Villehardouin, Henri de Valenciennes, Robert de Clari, Philippe Mouskes, Rashīd al-Dīn, Wiliam de Rubruquis, Bar Hebraeus, Laurentius de Monacis, Innocentius III, Ansbert and Niketas Choniates called it "Kingdom/Empire of Vlachia" between 12th-13th century. Choniates, the Byzantine chronicler and the only source we have on the revolt between 1185-1197 wrote: "When Vlachs were afflicted with the disease of open rebellion, the leaders of this evil being those I cited above, the Emperor marched out against them [spring 1186]. At first, the Vlachs were reluctant and turned away from revolt urged upon them by Peter and Asan, looking askance at the magnitude of the undertaking. To overcome the timidity of their compatriots, the brothers built a house of prayer in the name of the Good Martyr Demetrios."
He clearly writes the revolt was a Vlach one, of course Bulgarians later on partook in it but in no major battle. All the important battles were done by an army of Vlacho-Cumans. He also makes it clear that Peter and Asan were of the same origin as the Vlachs, (they became later Emperors of the Empire) and that Belgun-Asan spoke in the Vlach language with a captive priest.
Also about Dobromir Criș (Chrysos) who ruled his Autonomous Vlach Principality between 1196-1202, was not the only ruler in modern FYROM. After his death in 1202, Strez a member of the Vlach imperial dynasty was given his lands by Tsar Kaloyan (called "the Vlach" by writers). And when Borilă usurped the imperial throne, Strez revolted against him and expanded the Principality from Skopje (Vlach: Scopia) all the way to Greek region of Macedonia to the Aegean Sea with the Capital of the Vlach fortress of Prosakos. Between 12th - 13th c. Vlachs had 5 major revolts, 1. in 1066 created by the Vlachs in Thessaly, 2. the one in 1185 that formed the first Vlach Empire, 3. by a Vlach boyar of the Empire called Ivancu, 4. By Dobromir Criș and 5. By Strez.
There were indeed several, and each of them worth a video of their own.
@@BenLlywelyn Glad to hear. But I hope that the Vlach revolt of 1185 wouldn't see the Bulgarian bs. I recommend you to read Robert Lee Wolff's article on this, he is a 20th century American Historian who looks on it objectively👍🏻

Yup, it's a fascinating read, their involvement in the 30 years war.
Yes, they used a shepard route to evacuate and move between two points, Wallachia (Dacia) and Moravia Wallachia. In Moravia Wallachia they of course started revolves and tried to take down the Roman Empire (hasburg line), even joined forces with the Sweeds. There was a migration from Maramures to what was called Moldova, but there were already Vlach tribes in the area. It s hilarious to even try to claim the other side of Carpathians, very rich area, was somehow inhabited. There is a reason why Hungary sent a vlach to establish a state originally, the most influential tribes there were vlachs.

The Orthodox Vlachs spread further northward along the Carpathians to the present day territory of Poland, Slovakia, and Czech Republic, and were granted autonomy under the ''Vlach law''.[124]
The vlachs were proto-romanian shepherds that followed the seasonal migration called transhumance. The name Valachia identifies them ethnically. As for the maghiars, yes they tried to get into Transylvania and brought in the sequills and saxons but only to split the land. They wouldn’t bring more vlachs in a country already inhabited by vlachs. Point being that a pre-societal way of life existed in proto-Romanian lands the same way that Palestine is inhabited by people who reject the idea of a state. What maghiars did was wrong not by modern times but because they can hardly find themselves at home in a country they enslaved for 1000 years. That’s why the vlachs in Bulgaria speak Romanian despite being separated from now Romanian mainland for 18 centuries; same for the ones in Serbia (17 centuries) , Czechia, Croatia, Greece (ever since). In all these countries there is a population with identical customs as Romanians, in some this population speaks a Romanian dialect closer to modern Romanian than Spanish is to Italian. There’s one possible reason they’re called vlachs: same reason for which Ukrainians have hardly any laws even today recognizing the Moldovans as speaking Romanian. I’ll let you draw the conclusion. Enjoy!

Poate vii si cu niste dovezi ca Transylvania era plina de Vlahi . Si asta vine de la un roman .
Cred ca nu ai priceput nimic din ce a spus Ben asta . Migratia nu s-a intamplat din Romania in Balcani , ci invers .
Vlahii au venit aici si au stat la baza formarii poporului roman . Teritoriul asta nu e endemic pt ei . Povestile de continuitate sunt propaganda nationalista si ajung pana la aberatia ca dacii s-au transformat in Vlahi - o aberatie in scopul cautarii unei identitati proprii si separate pt romani .
Vlahii au venit prima data pe aceste teritorii alungand Slavii care traiau aici - dupa mentiunile lui Nestor . Apoi au fost dispersati la venirea maghiarilor , dar au ramas in zona , ajungand sa dea primii Vlahi consemnati de Anonymous - ca Gelou . Erau minoritate atunci, dar s-au inmultit prin aducerea, venirea , acceptarea a noi Vlahi de la sud de Dunare .
Daca ai ceva dovezi pt aberatiile tale - te ascult .
@@attilatasciko4817 Well , Greater Hungary , waved by all Hungarian revisionists , leaded by that scum named Orban, is no any better .
You should acknowledge that Vlachs were mentioned by Nestor as arriving in this area before Hungarians did - they came from south of Danube . And they were given rights by the Arpadian kings, on a level with the other inhabitants of Transylvania .
Those rights were canceled by Angevine kings, which leaded to a unappropriated rule over Romanians . That rule was shattered in 1919 , after another repulsive politic of Magyarization .
And Romanians became majority in Transylvania , probably after Hungarian defeat and decimation by the Ottomans , when Hungary did not exist anymore for 350 years . Sure a Hungarian elite existed , to dominate the other nationalities , by owning the land and the local decision making . This was weakened by Austrian rule , who confirmed Romanian majority in two censuses at the beginning of 18 century . Since than , Hungarian politic was directed toward forcibly converting the other nationalities , to ensure a majority to justify their rule . This has been rightfully punished after WW1.
@@zolihun4729 You are very wrong . Nestor in Primary Chronicle writes about Vlachs arriving here before Magyars and dislocating Slavs who used to live on these territories . Magyars , at their arrival, dislocated those Vlachs , which were found later by the Magyars while occupying Transylvania - see the dux Gelou, mentioned by Anonymous .
So your history is pretty much as nationalist as the Romanian one . I am not a partisan of the daco-roman continuity , but the Vlachs are our ancestors .

Small addition to the history of vlachs, more precisely aromans that the aroman banker named György Sina (born in Nis, Serbia in 1783) was who financed the first and most well-known bridge in Budapest: the famous Chain-bridge) whose architect was the Englishman Adam Clarck.

His bank was the second biggest bank after the Rothschild-bank in Vienna, Austria-Hungary at that time. He even supported the Habsburgs financially against Napoleon.

In Croatia and Bosnia, the "Serbian" population are actually descendants of Vlachs (Vlasi). They have adopted a Serbian ethnicity, as the the Serbian Orthodox Church preached for centuries that if you are Orthodox, than you must be Serbian. However, DNA studies have showed that they are actually genetically much closer to the other people around them, rather than Serbs in Serbia.

Vlach from central serbia here: great video in general! there aren't many out here in english with a broader explanation :)
Would you mind, if you still have, link your sources? As it is a such complex minority there are always gaps especially from people outside our culture. Especially the stereotype only to be shepards ... there were more occupations. At some point "all" shepards were called vlachs inside serbia even with serbian ancestry. At some point serbs used the "higher" position of vlachs under ottoman occupation and pretended to be vlach.
again tho: thanks for giving a broad view of us
and to add: in our mothertongue we still say "rumunjesce" but distuinguish one from another by our village name :)) the term vlach is actually never used, only super recently by mainly the mengleromanians and serbian vlachs from eastern serbia more and more

Vlah is an exhonim from the German Walah ( stranger / foreigner) a word mostly used for romance speaking populations in the Balkans the poles still call Italy Vlahi to this day, and the Anglo saxons used it for the welsh ( Celtic speaking) population of the Uk. This is one of the best channels on RUclips if you want to learn real history and facts.
This I true that's where Wales gets its name .
_Vlah is an exhonim from the German Walah (stranger/foreigner)_
"At the origin of the name Vlach is the name of a Celtic tribe (volcae), mentioned by Caesar (De bello Gallico. II .24; VII. 7 and 64).
From here, the term passed to the Germans, designating, in Old German, first the neighbors from the south and west (walh = Roman and Romanized Gaul).
The term then has a restriction in the German language, referring only to the inhabitants of the Italic Peninsula ( = Wălscher), without the general meaning having been completely lost, neither in German nor in Germanic languages (e.g. Waliser, Wales, etc.)
As a result of the contacts between "Germany" and "Romania" [Roman Empire], this term was borrowed by the Slavic world, in direct and lasting contact with the German world starting from the 9th century; along with the knowledge of the Roman world, the Germans also transmitted this term to Slavs.
At the very beginning of these permanent German-Slavic contacts, the anonymous biographer of the Apostle of the Slavs, Methodius applies the name "wlach" to the Italians, term obviously received from Germans.
Vlah means, therefore, a foreigner, a non-Slav of the Romance language."
(Adolf Armbruster)
I'm welsh / English/ Australian/ Romany. As a welsh man we have known for as long as I remember that 'Wales ' is old English ( or whatever 😂 ) for foreigner . I have however only just now seen the connection with European word 'vlach' and all its spelling variations, it's absolutely fascinating stuff ! ! I love it . I read somewhere once many moons ago that some of the Roman conscripts who came to Britain were in fact from modern day Romania .....

Greetings from Belgrade, Serbia

Termenul vlah este de origine germanică și desemna populație romanica , romanizată care vorbea latina sau o limbă înrudită cu ac asta. Derivatele termenului sunt valahi, volohi sau olahi.
Vlahii din Balcani sunt urmașii populației romanizate de la sud de Dunăre care s=au retras de zonele montane odată cu așezarea slavilor la sud de Dunăre la începutul sec.VII, rupând unitatea romanității răsăritene.
Astfel au apărut dialectele limbii române: aromân, meglenoromân și istroromân care se vorbesc de către comunitățile de vlahi din Serbia, Bulgaria, Albania, Macedonia. Și transhumanța are rolul ei în viața vlahilor balcanici.
Și un alt lucru important este că 40.000 de familii de vlahi balcanici s-au așezat în România după primul război mondial, unde au fost împroprietăriți de statul român.

A kind word from you. Thank you.
The origins and migrations of the Vlachs are a touchy subject because, for a long time, they were never the tellers of their own stories. As in, other people wrote about them.
What is known is that they were what was left of the Latin speakers after the Slavic invasions, and they survived because of the mountains and semi-nomadic way. Were there were mountains, there were Vlach's.
Also, during the XIX century, the nationalist movements in the Balkans, with the use of schools, assimilated the minorities to the state's main culture. A Bulgarian man started identifying with Bulgaria and his brother with Serbia just because of their different schooling. Same thing happened in Romania to the local Slavs.
The Genetical map of the regions shows that Romanian, Hungarians, Serbians, Bulgarians, are the same genetic-people.
Yes, genetically, we are pretty similar, that's why DNA is an important piece of a puzzle. As I stated in a different comment, a cat that barks is still a cat, so language can be misleading if we are following only that path. It's the dominant administrations that shaped the faith of a population. Before the proto-Thracians arrived, there were the Paleolithic Anatolians, most of us here share around 30% genetic pool with them.
In Mozart's beautiful opera "Cosi fan tutte" the two officers Guglielmo and Ferrando, as part of an elaborate scheme to prove the fidelity of their respective fiances, pretend to be called away to fight in a war, but instead return disguised as "turchi" or "valacchi" - Turks or Wallachians - but most translations of the original Italian say "Turks or Albanians."
Vlachs are not Albanians but Serbs.
@@Greensanctuary-c4w As I understand it Vlachs are Romanians and the word comes from the word" Wallachia" which ultimately comes from a Germanic word meaning "foreigner" because that's what Germanic peoples called their non Germanic neighbors like the Welsh in Britain, the Walloons in Belgium and indeed the Wallachians in Romania. Usually they were "romance" peoples leftovers from the Roman empire.

The word "vlachs/wallach/vlaski" is only an exonym for Romanians. The ethnic romanians never called themselves so, only the sorounding nations. They even the land "Valahia/Wallachia/Vallachia/Valasko" the romanians called "Țara Rumânească" and they write it on slavonic/cyrillic alphabet "Цѣра Рꙋмѫнѣскъ", what literally means "the romanian land". See the bukgarian, greek, roman, illyrian and moravian sources. On the other hand you can devide the romanians into Daco-Romanian, Istro-Romanian, Megleno-Romanian, Aromanian and the moravian vlachs. All this romanian groups have the same old romanian languages, same culture, same tradition, same music, same belives, same superstition and same mindset
🤣
in simpler terms, just like the 'deutsche' do not call themselves the roman word for foreigner 'german'. The different layers of purple between language flavor distribution is less than the difference between londoner english and scottish english and they live on the same island without major changes since the end of the norman invasion.
More simple version:wlach people nothing to do with Dacians especially they were Scythians.
Also they been destroyed by the Ronan army.

It would be interesting for you to make a video about the romanian languages and how it evolved from the Dacian and latin languages. How it was spoken in earlyer centuries. And you can take it beyond that and show us the differences between the romanian, vulgar and classic latin, and why not other latin language like franch and Spanish.
The problem with Dacian is there is no attestation that has survived other than a few plant names and people's names
There's no linguistical or cultural proof that we Romanians share any connection to the Dacians. There's nothing left from the Dacian language to prove such connection. But we are descendants of the Romans as we have definite proof to a linguistical evolution from Latin to Romanian.
@@BenLlywelyn You could make a video about East-Romance languages and how they evolved from Balkan-Latin (or "Proto-Romanian")

The Vlachs of the Western Balkans are the descendants of the Eastern Roman Empire. In the 7th century, the Slavs and Avars decisively invaded, occupying some Balkan provinces of the empire. Migratory Slavs destroyed the Roman cities and by ferocity caused the retreat of the native inhabitants (called Vlachs by the Slavs) into forested or mountainous areas. Bosnia and Herzegovina is a predominantly mountainous state and forested areas cover almost 50% of the territory so this space was a favorable environment for the Vlachs. The Latin language spoken in the Eastern Roman Empire evolved a lot in the Balkans in the early Middle Ages becoming a Neo-Latin language sometimes also called Proto-Romanian. Romanian and Aromanian then evolved from Proto-Romanian. The Vlachs of the Western Balkans spoke a language similar to the Romanian language. The Vlachs were Christians, being descendants of the Eastern Roman Empire where Christianity was the official religion. The great disadvantage of the Vlachs in the Balkans at the time of the Slav invasion was the lack of a church of their own in which their language was used. Thus, through the church, they were Slavized. The oldest document that mentions the Vlachs of Serbia and Herzegovina was given by the jupanal Stefan Nemania around the years 1198-1199. After Slavization, the Vlachs also had to endure Islamization, following the occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina by the Turks. According to the Croatian historian Nenad Moacanin8, the Bosnian nation is made up of Muslims (the majority being Vlachs), Orthodox (almost all being Vlachs) and Catholics (a most being Vlachs). They have forgotten their mother tongue and speak Serbian.
Serbia was populated in the Middle Ages by Vlachs. Vlachs from northern Serbia are called Romanians and live in Timoc, Banat and Vojvodina. Aromanians still live in the south of Serbia, called Cinciari in Serbian. The main objective of the Serbian nationalists was to replace in the ethnic nomenclature used in Bosnia but also in Serbia, the word Vlach with the word Serbian, promoted since school. The echoes of these campaigns are still felt today in the works of some historians from the countries of the former Yugoslavia, who still I claim that Vlach is a pejorative term. The Vlachs here have no rights whatsoever.
Vlachs used to have their church, but the invaders (Avars and Slavs) were pagan initially and burned down the churches. This happened before the great schism, when there was no Orthodoxy/Catholicism divide - that is why the core religious terms are of Latin origin in Romanian (Dumnezeu - Domine Deus, biserică - basilica, cruce - crux) , while the later liturgical terms are of slavic origin (bodaproste = Bog da prosti = Dumnezeu să te miluiască).
I‘m a Vlach from Serbia, and I can confirm it!
pls read more, even the etruscan are descendents of dacians and vlachians was the term geven to dacian from the otomans . u can not say such a stupidity . where roman empire was formed after they killed the etruscian and named the Etruria Rome
''Vlachs from northern Serbia are called Romanians and live in Timoc''. They are called Vlachs. Romanians live in Vojvodina, and they have their own Orthodox church which is a part if ROC. Cincars are considered a separate ethnic group in Serbia
@@zimskasalamabg The Vlachs in Timoc are called "Vlachs" only by Serbs. But in the Timoc Vlach language, there is no such word like "Vlach"!
They name themselves traditionally in their own language "Rumâni” (old form for Romanians; 100 years ago one could read ”Rumania” on maps).
Their language is perfect Romanian (but old Romanian, without the neologisms entered in the last 200 years in modern Romanian, due to isolation). More - before the term Romania entered circulation, Serbs named Romania - ”Vlashka” ( = the land of Vlachs).
I can provide examples available on RUclips with such Vlach traditional singers naming themselves in old folk songs as ”Rumâni”.

And Nikola Tesla was also a Vlach or a Vlach of assimilated parents
In short, researches showed that Tesla was Vlah / Morlac, of Romanian orthodox origin. To understand this we have to take a broader picture. Vlah /Morlack ethnicity were Romanians who fleed from Ottoman Empire military actions to the west and stopped in Croatia, then occupied by Austro-Hungarian Empire, because Ottomans never conquered Croatia. It happened that then ancient Serbia was trying to build Greater Serbia and broaden its territories to the west, including Bosnia and part of Croatia as a ‘Serbian natural soil’. So Serbian Orthodox Church (SPC) went on a mission to Croatia to convert orthodox Vlah’s and Morlac there to become Serbians because of the similar religion. They needed an excuse for expanding their territories and more orthodox people they convert to Serbs more excuses they had to expand Greater Serbia to the west and claim territory.

Romanians didn't call themselves vlachs, they called themselves... romanians due to their Roman heritage. And, yes, they assimilated all other populations. The Romanian nation is a part of the Roman Empire legacy.

Hello Ben, really enjoyed this video and learned new things I've never heard in history class at school. I'm romanian and I only recently learnt that history is different from a country to another when I met with a bulgarian lady and we started from friends talking about our countries are neighbours and ended up 'arguing' about Dobrogea. But we've decided to stop the talking about history because we didn't want to fight about a subject we've learnt different in schools. i apologise for the spelling, still learning english 😊
Thank you. Your English is good. I hope Dobrogea did not ruin your friendship with the Bulgarian.
@@BenLlywelyn no, it didn't ruin it
This is a stupid question, romanians are vlachs and vlachs are romanians. Its like German and Deutsche, 2 different appellations for the same thing, in this case people.
Yes. But not stupid.
Like in the Germans case, the affirmation is almost 100% precise.
There are some cases in which vlach = romanian is not true. Aromanians are also named vlachs by their neighbors, but they are not Romanians, except (A) they want to identify as such; OR (B) we consider the term ”Romanian” as a broad term for all Eastern Romance speakers.
Same for Deutsch: not 100% equals German. The form Dutch, from the very same root, means Nederlander / Hollander.
Funnily enough castrated horse is "wałach" in Polish coming frmo Vlachs who supposedly did this to keep their horses easier to manage on their mountain passes (yup we're diving into folk ethymology a bit here), but Vlachs are still living among Poles in our Mountainious regions, as we have separate villages were "Lachy" (Poles) are living and that would mean, not all highlanders are Lachs. Unless Lachs in this case are Vlachs without "V", but all our present and past neighbours to the east and South East (Turkey for example) call us Lachy/ Lechy (Poland is Lechistan).

Modern Serbian historiography denies the Vlachs any ethnicity other than Serbian. While the Serbs acknowledge that originally the term designated the Balkan Romance population, the Serbs claim that after the 13th century all Vlachs were ethnic Serbs who made their living as shepherds, paramilitary auxiliaries and long-distance transporters of goods. In this view of history the Vlachs of Bosnia, Montenegro, Greece, Albania, Bulgaria and Croatia were actually Serbs. In fact Vlach is a synonym for Serb. As proof they point to Serbian names, Slavonic (i.e. Serbian) writing, and adherence to the Serbian Orthodox Church.
Similarly modern Bulgarian historiography claims the Vlachs of the Second Bulgarian Empire were merely pastoralist Bulgarians.
In turn the Greeks claim the Vlachs of Greece are Greeks who were partially Romanized.
In contrast the Croatians assert the Serbs of Croatia (who participated in the wars of the 1990's) are actually Serbianized Vlachs.
Serbia has a lot of historical trauma. %25 of them died in WW1 alone.
Wlachs are not romanian people,Wlachs is just european pronunciation of slavic word Vlasi.Wich are serbian cattle hearders,who has get theirs name from slavic god Veles.The protector of cattle,and cattle hearders.Veles is descibed as man wearing cattle hide,and cattle head.And Vlasi are videly spread in serbia,bosnia,and dalmatia,since serbs are oldest people in balkan and europe.And oldest serbian ancestors lived in europe since Vinća civilization or since 5508BC,and has get name from second slavic emperor Serbo Makeridov in 1500BC.And i will add,that fake slavic and fake serbian history was created by Nordic History School,and forced upon slavs and serbs by Berlin Congress in 1890.And i will add,that Greece is builded in 19th century after Berlin Congress,on serbian land,and from slavic culture.And Greece never did existed in Roman Empire times,since serbian kingdom was made of,slovenia,croatia,bosnia,montenegro,serbia,macedonia,albania,greece,and bulgaria.About bulgarians i have learn,that theirs name comes from Volga Aria,lately changed to Volgaria,then to Bulgaria.And about "greek symbols and alphabet",i know that they are slavic,stolen from slavs by greeks.Just find slavic symbol swara,symbol of slavic god swarog,and compare it to greek symbol,and symbol from ancient potery,from 5508BC.Then tell me,did greece has existed in 5508BC.PS:Pardon me for being so long,and here something for you,checkout german site Slawenischeberg.

You understood everything backwards, the Istro-Romanians, the Megloromani and the Aromanians are all related to the Romanians. When Hungary conquered Pannonia, several caravans left Pannonia, this fact is it is even shown in a document called: "descriptio Europa Orientale".
Vlachs from the Czech Republic even have in their folklore how they left Trasylvania with 12 caravans. The Vlachs have never called themselves "Vlachs" they have called as "Rumani".
In Transylvania, the Vlachs were so persecuted by Hungary that the Black Prince (Negru Voda) fled from Trasylvania with all its subjects and founded the Vlah (Romanian) Country and Dragusi Voda fled from Maramuresi and founded the Principality of Molova.
In the Romanian countries there was even a department called "UNGURENII" (Hungarians) whose mission was to MANAGE THE INFAX OF THE POPULATION THAT WAS FLEEING FROM HUNGARY,

My take as one of the Vlachs/Romanians as one of the Vlachs: We are the direct descendants of Thracians, direct remain of the predecessors of Romanians and all the Roman countries . We had a freedom of rising and living on the beautiful Carphatian mountains range, tending our flocks from Olympus on the south to Polish Carphatians - Lower Silesia "the Vlach country" on the north . After all even Herodotus claimed that we the Thrace were the largest population in the world, after the Inds.

Almost all Romanian settlement names in Székelyföld come from the Hungarian settlement name. So the Romanians had Romanian settlement names, despite the original Romanian name of many Romanian settlement names have changed in the previous 100 years for various reasons. Often to disguise the nationality of the former inhabitants of the locality (the "Magyar" (Hungarian) prefix was removed or changed to "Nagy" (big), but the "Oláh" (Vlach/Romanian) prefix remained on the settlement pair: "Mare” and "Românesc"). The anti-ethnic motivation is also evident in the territorial distribution of the renames: the Carpathian Basin and Dobruja suffered the most.
For example, the Romanians renamed 135 settlements in Kolozs county, while zero settlements were renamed in many old Romanian counties.

One thing that you failed to mention is that Vlach as a term evolved over time from being an ethnic term to more of a class term of shepherds and border guards. Many Slavs (Croatians, Serbians) followed the Vlach way of life and became shepherds and soldiers because they saw it as a better life than a classic medieval serfdom. Most of the Balkan Vlachs were Slavicized that way, and of course through the Old Church Slavonic language which was the liturgical language in the Balkans at the time.
Wlachs are not romanian people,Wlachs is just european pronunciation of slavic word Vlasi.And Vlasi are cattle hearders from serbia,bosnia,and dalmatia.Who has get theirs name from slavic god Veles,the protector of cattle and cattle hearders.Who is descibed as man wearing cattle hide and cattle head.And Vlasi are mostly serbs,since serbs are oldest people in balkan and europe.
The Vlach migration into nortwestern direction was a seperate migration and culturally influenced Slavic peoples like the Rusyns, Hutsuls,Gorals etc in what is today Ukraine, Poland, Czechia & Slovakia.
What "migration into nortwestern direction"? Do you have any proof for this migration? There was no migration from north to south.
@BenLlywelyn I love the information in your videos. Do you know anything about the Cumins of eastern Europe? They seem to come from no place, expand to be the biggest nation in eastern Europe then disappear.....

'Волоський горіх', 'Orzech wolski' are Ukrainian and Polish for walnut, 'Vlach nut' or 'Walachian nut' in a literal translation.
In USA they studied the walnut DNA and its found to come from the carpathians. Thats why americans call it carpathian walnut.
The famous Chandler walnut of USA has 90% carpathian genes and 10% american black walnut genes.
Walnuts come from Persia but the european ones are from the Carpathian mountains.
@@mihaiilie8808 Interesting. In Russia, walnut is known as Greek nut. Like in the case of turkey it depends on where the nut came from in the particular country. According to Wikipedia Nuc is Romanian for walnut. which sounds to me pretty similar to nux, Nux is Latin for nut. Maybe in some other Slavic countries or in Hungary they call walnut Carpathian Nut, and the tree and the name came to the US with immigrants.
Might be from Carpathian wall nut.
Walnut in English I believe means 'Roman Nut' (Foreign Nut)
@@icannotfinda Actually, that ”Wal-” is from ”Wallachian...”. But not from Romanian. It dates from the times the Germanic tribes were importing such nuts from south, where the Latin-speaking (then Romance-speaking) people were. As opposed to other ”local” nuts.
The word Vlach/Wallachian (and other variants such as Vlah, Valah, Valach, Voloh, Blac, oláh, Vlas, Ulah, etc.[1]) is etymologically derived from the ethnonym of a Celtic tribe,[5] adopted into Proto-Germanic *Walhaz, which meant "stranger", from *Wolkā-[7] (Caesar's Latin: Volcae, Strabo and Ptolemy's Greek: Ouolkai).[8] Via Latin, in Gothic, as *walhs, the ethnonym took on the meaning "foreigner" or "Romance-speaker" and later "shepherd, nomad".[8][5] The term was adopted into Greek as Vláhoi or Blachoi (Βλάχοι), Albanian vllah, Slavic as Vlah (pl. Vlasi) or Voloh, Hungarian as oláh and olasz, etc.[9][10][11] The root word was notably adopted in Germanic for Wales and Walloon, and in Switzerland for Romansh-speakers (German: Welsch),[5] and in Poland Włochy or in Hungary olasz became an exonym for Italians.[8][1] The Slovenian term Lahi has also been used to designate Italians.[12] The same name is still used in Polish[13][14](Włochy, Włosi, włoskie) and Hungarian[15][16] (Olasz, Olaszország) as an exonym for Italy, while in Slovak[17] (Vlasi), Czech[18] (Vlachy) and Slovenian[19][20] (Laško[21], Láh, Láhinja, laško) it was replaced with the endonym Italia.

Romanians are called Vlachs by other neighboring peoples for political purposes and not always with clean purposes (that is, with the aim of forcibly distinguishing them from those from Romania and to assimilate them more easily). The Romanians themselves do not call themselves Vlachs. It is the same as in the case of other peoples, for example: Deutchs-Germans, Magyars-Hungarians, Hellenes-Greeks, etc. Even the Romanians from the Balkans are called ,,Armani" - Aromanians in their language , not Vlachs.
Anyway, the term "Vlach" comes from the German "wallach" (some sources say from the Greek) and means "Latin speaker" or ,,Foreigner", as in the case of the Walloons from Belgium or the Welsh from Wales.
In the documents, the name Ungrovlahia was used for medieval Wallachia (due to foreign political influence) BUT in the people the country was called "Tara Romaneasca" meaning Romanian Land". And the people called themselves "Romanian" or "Rumanian" - the old form, not Wallachian.
Even the Moldavians or Transylvanians called themselves "Romanians" in their language.
Moldavians or Transylvanians called themselves "Romanians" in our common language. There was no ”their” language as one different from Romanian : )
again, it is not 'us' or 'them', it is just 'we' when we talk about the centuries before statehood while the 'westerners' were having a bad time in large communities during the Black Plague.
Love the reaction whenever some1 thinks he's insinuating something controversial like "vlachs weren't here first ":))
But, if you like history, you gotta deal with unpleasant truths, its just the way it is. And you need to look from outside perspectives since, lets be real, the history i got tought in school was pure propaganda. Atleast the Romanian history i learnt in middle school was. Nowdays i do look for different sources, and its always nice when some new information gets unearthed either by archeology or simply finding old texts. Yes, i do watch some hungarian channels that deal with history since i want to see it from that side aswell, jsut, peace of advice...dont go to comment section. For some reason , comment section in some videos have the wonderful power of uniting both hungarians and romaninans alike. They unite them into being morrons on both sides:)) Still i see you are doing alot of romania related videos, and you did mention aromanians in this video. id reccomend studying them a bit since they have a really interesting history, and, best of, they still are around today, although in small numbers.

In Dalmatia a name for inland population of Dalmatia no matter ethnicity is "Vlaj" and for islanders is "Boduli/Bodulci", still today there are many last named that end with "ul" like Burčul or Kožul which are for sure of Vlach origin but today when you say Vlajo (J is Y) you think of any resident of Dalmatia or Herzegovina that is a bit further from sea, so in my family case is my mom side are "Vlaj" and dad side is "Boduli" but both are ethnic Croats .

It is considered that Vlahs (in Croatian: Vlasi or Vlahi) were the remnants of Romanized populations in Balkans, especially in eastern and south-eastern part of what is today considered as Balkan. Some of them very early (probably from 6th and 7th century) started to mix them selves with different Slavic communities. Only those among Vlahi which lived in mountains maintained their language and social structure which was adapted to the terrain and the climate. It seems to me that especially in Croatian Dinaric-Adriatic region assimilation and mixture of indigenous people and of Sloveni and the Croats was done very early. Archaeology in Dalmatia shows (as I have read some recent archaeological reports from excavation sites) for period from 6th to 9th century overlaps and mixture of both Slavic and earlier Christianized material culture. In documents related to Croatia in early middle ages (7th to 12th century) there is no mention of Vlahi or Vlasi. But we have different evidence: sources (Frankish and Byzantine) contain mentions of Romanized inhabitants in Dalmatia under general name as Romani and not Vlachs or Vlasi / Vlahi. For example, Frankish Annales Regni Francorum for year 817 said that it was delegation (emissary) to the emperor Hludowic with aim to resolve the disputes about borders between "Sclaveni Dalmati and Romani". (The very problem with this Latin text in Annales is the lack of comma between Sclaveni and Dalmati; the most of historians think that there is no comma (,) between Sclaveni and Dalmati because the term "Sclaveni Dalmati" indicating that Slavic speaking population living in Dalmatia was designating them selves in year 817 (!) as Dalmati (originally Delmatae or Dalmatae was the name of nation living in the territory in Roman times (documented in Roman sources from 2nd century BC, regarding wars they fought against Romans till the year 9th AD). So, this means that in Dalmatia mixture between Sclaveni and Hrvati (Chroatae in Latin, Croats) and remnants of Dalmati people was already finished. Only those which escaped to the fortified towns on the coast keep their vulgar Latin language and identity; and they are in sources known as Romani. Vlachs or Vlahi/Vlasi are recorded in Croatian territory only in late middle ages, related to the migration coming to Croatian territory from south-east of Balkans. There was no Vlachs in Croatia under that name before the late middle ages; there is no mention of them in historical records nor in official documents.Vlahi or Vlasi started their migration to Croatia from south-east of Balkans, related to the Turkish Ottomanic conquest. While in Serbia Vlasi/Vlahi were mentioned in 14th century as a separate ethnic group in Serbian codices of laws. Croatian "Vinodolski zakonik" (Law Codex of Vinodol) from 1288 contains no mention of Vlahi or Vlasi. .... The fact actually is that Vlachs were in military service for Ottomans and as a light infantry and light cavalry VLACHS (akindjiya and haramiya) made massacres and slaughters in Croatian villages against Croatian and Slavic peasants (tactics of burned land; akindjiya and haramiya were killing and destroying entire villages with aim to force nobility or to join the Ottomans (Osmanli) or go away from the territory; of course nobility was more or less safe from raids of Vlachs in fortifide castles). My claims and statements here are proven through historical records and through archaeology. And maybe worthy to mention that historian and writer of ecclesiastical history of episcopy of Split, Thoma Archidiaconus (Toma Arhiđakon in Croatian; archidiaconus = archdean) wrote in cca. year 1250 AD "Historia Salonitana". In his work Thoma says that Goths and 7 or 8 noble clans of Slavs which came from Poland mixed with indigenous inhabitants named "Snati". (City Split was developed from the palace-fortress of emperor Diocletianus (cca. year 300 AD), where inhabitants of nearby ancient capital Salonae, which was destroyed during the 7th century AD, took refuge.) So conclusion is: Vlachs started their migration to Croatia only in late middle ages and in early new ages (15th to 17th century) as a consequence of Turkish Osmanlic (Ottoman) conquest.

There is a unique connection between Romanians and Sardinians ONLY (not the continental Italians) which is to be seen in our GENETICS and the genetics of many of the modern balkan populations (croatians, serbians, bulgars included also) and is also to be seen in our UNIQUE COMMON WORDS and UNIQUE COMMON ANCESTRAL TRADITIONS and UNIQUE toponims... like for example:

and TATKO in serbocroat and bulgarian and TATA in polish ... beside the slavic OTETZ which is present in all the balkan slavs and the other slavs!

Its not a statue, its a cross, funeral monument that looks like a celtic cross if you could see it entirely.

@@attilatasciko4817 Celt is a type of coulture with incineration and burial mounds.
They are the oldest european coulture and they spoke vulgar latin.
Stonehenge, Gobekli Tepe, Plovdiv Tepe.
Celts start under the Black Sea and when the sea is flooded they move into Romania and Bulgaria and also in Turkey.
The sculpted cross is not very old and if you say szekely are celts means they should speak romanian ( vulgar latin).
They are not celts. Hungarians tho have a lot of celt heritage, like Theodoric, wich was celt and has celtic name like the gauls and visigoths.
You have nothing to do with Scythians lol.
As a descendant of "Wallachian" colonists in the Low Beskyds I found your video interesting if quite a bit controversial. First, you overemphasize the ethnic component in the word "Wallach". Most of the Vlach Law settlers in northern Hungary were eastern Slavs from whom I descend. Wallach came to mean a vocation rather than ethnicity. Today, the word valach in the region means a young farmhand. It's undeniable that the eastern romance culture influenced the culture of my ancestors, but it's equally undeniable that my ancestors were slavic and not romance speakers (hence, the quotation marks "" above). Second, the Vlach Law was a set of settlement agreements made between the colonists and the land owners, not a unified legal system. Based on a previous system designed to settle German colonists (so called German laws), it granted certain privileges and duties to the new settlers, which you've already mentioned in the video. Oftentimes the ethnic and legal components of these settlements were written (carved with deep letters) into the very name of the settlements to, I suspect, remind the landowners of the settlers' rights (e.g. Ruská Voľa - Ruthenian Freedom, i.e. from paying taxes). Unlike the Germans, these people had low status within society and, deprived of any landed elites, their rights were eroded until they were eventually enserfed.
Language and roots have shifted so many times in the Balkans it is difficult to say who was what even 500 years ago. Some may have been Slavic, Albanian, Vlach, Saxons, and Vlachs again into Romanians in the same family over that time.
Well said that, as much as they both hate to admit it, without Hungary the Vlachs couldn't have established Wallachia and Moldavia, without the Vlachs the Hungarians couldn't have defended their borders. Without the Hungarian written law, it is likely the Vlachs would have made the jump from unwritten law to written law much later, and without Vlachs on the border of the Kingdom of Hungary to fight for Hungary in exchange for not being taxed like a regular Hungarian many Mongol or Tattar invasions would have been much worse, and they were already bad.

@@codreanupetronel i guess it went wrong with both HU and RO nationalism increasing from around 1850s. Also Habsburg used the nations against each other to keep the balance somehow. It was not healthy. Romania occupation of Transylvania definitely did not help to solve the hostilities.
That's why i feel the sudden urge 24/24 to live in the mountains... it feels like i belong there. Romanian here from many generation of vlachs ... now i live at the base of the mountain near danube

Calling Romanians "vlachs" is the same as calling Germans "krauts", an ethnic slur.
Oh no.
@@BenLlywelyn Same as Ἀτσίγγανος. All just innocent nouns and adjectives.

Rome is a Greek word means power,strength.
In ancient Greek texts the word is written with ω ,Ρώμη = Rome ,and not Ρόμη as it would be written if the word was not Greek.
Check out the script ΡΩΜΗ on a 5th century BC marble inscription. in the Vatican museum
Rome = power , follows the displacement of power. Constantinople = New Rome, Moscow = the third Rome, the Holy Roman Empire, the Sultanate of Rum, etc.
The Greek meaning of the word Rome is also the reason why citizenship was invented for the first time in history calling the citizens Romans, Romioi , Rum, giving them the "power" =the Roman citizenship.
Arumanians-Vlachs are not a nation.
Arumanians are Dacians -Illyrians -Greeks-Thracians Latinized populations.
we know who are the vlachs/walachs or Vlaci, They are getes/daces/Goths/in fact they are celts. Romanians is a fake name changed walachs by the fanariots politic. The getes are a fraction of celts/pelasgian and the language is the old celts. I sugest to read a lot of books to speak abaut gets/goths/celts/gaulois. i sugest to read PELLOUTIER, M PARIS the name of the Wallach, etc.
"Romanians" is a name well attested way BEFORE the phanariotic period. You know nothing.
You are on the subject with this. Except that we like romanian. The romans themselves are celts because the etruscans and the trojans were celts. Vulgar latin speakers.
@@mihaiilie8808 how do you even define a celt? The gauls were also celts. The dacians kicked out the gauls from core Dacia and later from Panonia during the shorter lived Greater Dacia. If you go too far you can say we are all messopotamians.
These pre Indo-Europeans -Old Indigenous Europeans - were in the pictured location illustrated for the Volcae in this video - It is the head water location for the Danube river beginning in the Black Forest of Germany (Baden-Württemberg now). Ancient DNA results in the area is paternal I2 like Cheddar man - Bichon, Azilian, 11600- 11800 BC mtDNA: U5b1h
Y-DNA: I2 NW of Berne. Now many are referred to as Schwaben Deutsch. Some in the North were called Swaben - Vends - Wends (Swaben-Sweden) Scan DIN avian I! paternal brothers to the DINaric I2 Vlach-Aromanian-Dalmatians. The original I2 DINaric male is the tallest on average with the I1 ScanDINavian being second.
I tend to keep away from DNA as evidence for things if I can.
I think is fair to say we can NOT talk about a roumanian origin without it's slavic heritage :). Now, we don't want to face facts , but slavs were the bigest migratory tribes that came into our teritory around V century., after the aurelian roman retreat.
They restructured political , religious and cultural structures and later they configured the roumanian alphabet. A Few know that for two centuries , we had written in Cyrillic alphabet ( old roumanian language) . At the half of the 19th century, we desperately needed a national identity, so we begin a proces of "relatinization" . However, balcanic regions gave much more influnces than romans during our history. Today, we are having all sorts of cultural stuff from serbs, turkish,ukrainians and bulgarians.
We like to call ourselves "clean latin people" but we know this is not the reality. We can not talk about our origins without the slavic influences. And if you need much more evidences, just take a look over our traditional clotches.
Cunosti istorie cum cunosc eu matematica.
Nu a existat niciodata o "relatinizare" a limbii romane. Mai bine citeste tot articolul de pe wikipedia, nu doar titlul, daca tot vrei sa te informezi de acolo.
Daca nu esti analfabet functional, o sa vezi la ce se refera termenul "relatinizare" de fapt.
Nu a luat nimeni cuvinte cu lopata sa le bage colectiv in capul moldovenilor, muntenilor si transilvanenilor. Ridicol.
you are wrong.relatinization? we never have spoken another language.we added only the modern words that came with industry era.
@@codreanupetronelWe did, we had slavic alphabet for
almost 500 years, as we call it now "the old roumanian" . Why do you think we say "da" just like russians do? There is a link here :)
and we are all messopotamians. Get outa here russian troll.
@@Dragosflash But that was because of the byzantins. And the introduction into orthodox christianity. That's the reason for the slavic alphabet. And last time I checked ethnicity, nationality aren't linked by religion?
(I also was recently in the museum in Bucurest where this is exactly explained and showed hahahah)
But what I agree is that the modern romanian populisation has a big influence genetically of slavs. You mixed with all the ethnicities that were fighting before romania/ tara rumuneasca was established and romani enslaved. Lots of bulgarian and serbian DNA is mixed in the regions its borders or regards moldavia with ukrainian/russian dna. that's all about the slavic admixture of modern romanians.
Vlachs werent slavs. They only mixed in the modern day partially in plan of assimilation.
Aaaahhh yes a video about the easter romance languages would be great, and a comparison with the western counter-parts, similarity, difference, and how foriegn influence have made the people that are today
