Bai... Stii ca nici eu numai inteleg nimica...
Dar serios...
Esti tu de parere ca noi ne-am lasat batuti asa...?
Crezi tu ca Germanii aia care nu au cistigat un razboi vreodata sunt Gotii gloriosi...? Pai de unde pina unde erau ei in Tulcea... Sau in Oltenia... Sau in Moldova... Sau la Santana de Mures...? Si de ce limba lor Germana sau limbile Nordice nu suna deloc ca Gota lui Ulfila...?????????????
Nu cred ca e bine sa ii lasam pe ei sa ne ia istoria asta.

Yeah... I know what you mean...
Mine were "cowboys"... We had cattle!
Yeah...
Like I was saying to you Civic... Everyone knows that we don't take things laying down well...
Usually if you upset us... this is what happens...

Good thesis but you must remember that Romanians have a lot of dialects which differ much from the Standard Language. Also Titu Maiorescu introduced many neologisms in the 19th century from other Romance languages especialy French and Italian but also from the ever growing English, which has neologisms from French via Normans. Anyway like in Greece were Katharevusa was introduced to clean the language from Turkish, Arabian, Albanian, Slavic words Titu Maiorescu wanted to create a more Latin language and change the Slavic, Turkish and other Non-Latin words with Neo-Latin ones! Let's not hide this. Romanians were influenced in culture, language and genetics by the Slavic and Turkic migrations! Let's be opened to this! We still have many words of Slavic and Turkish origin now but in the begining of the 19th there were much more!
We have much in common with the Aromanians because our languages evolved together until the Slavic migration! The Aromanians are the Romanised Thracians from South of Danube that were pushed in the mountains by the Slavs that transitated Romania and then migrated further south! The local population of Romania retreated in the mountains for refuge after their towns were destroyed or taken over by Slavs, Bulgarians and other Turkic nations like the Cumans that gave birth to the first centralised state Wallachia under Tochomerius! Not all Romanians migrated in the Carpathians though, some remained in the plains under Turkic rule. With time like in Bulgaria, the ruling class of the Romanians of Turkic origin was replaced by Romanian voivodes.
The Aromanians migrated in Epirus, Northern Thessaly and Western Macedon where they probably met other Romanised people: Epirotes, Thessalians and Macedonians and got along. Of course not all Thessalians and Macedonians were Romanised! They were a lot influenced by Greek speaking neighbours from the plains where they went with their sheep in winter! The region was poorely inhabited because the Byzantines recruited most of the men from their army from mainland Greece. Southern Greece was repopulated with Albanians for instance! When the Ottomans conquered Anatolia a lot of Greeks there migrated in Greece!
About physionomy as I said before Romanians were a lot influenced in their looks by the Slavic and Turkic migration! And that is a good thing because we are very diverse! We have all kind of hair and eyes and I like it this way! Why Aromanians look different? Simple! They were a reclusive and isolated community and they lived in the mountains for centuries! they simply adapted to the environment! Because in the mountains is cold, the air has less oxygen and the atmospheric pressure is different, people that live in the mountains tend to get shorter, accumulate more fat and develop larger lungs! simple as that! Of course not all Aromanians live in the mountains! Some are tall and thin! My father has a saying: "The Aromanians that are tall and thin are Greeks!" Even if they are secluded they did mix with the Greeks and they can be considered as both Greek and Romanian!

Visarion has always stated that he is of Greek descent.
As for myself I'm not Bulgarian... and Bulgarian doesn't mean anything anyway. The Goths were very powerful in Bulgaria...

here we find out that 16000 bulgarians-serbians came to north of the danube

Exista o atestare documentara a venirii in tara a 15.000 de albanezi cu familiile lor adusi de Mihai Viteazu, cu peste 400 de ani in urma.
exactly in the same period 15 000 albanians were colonized by Visarions avatar
this means 31 000 people
in our times this approximately means 600 000 people

Piroska answer my questions please.
"Mors Certa, Hora Incerta."
"We are a brave people of a warrior race, descendants of the illustrious Romans, who made the world tremor. And in this way we will make it known to the whole world that we are true Romans and their descendants, and our name will never die and we will make proud the memories of our parents." ~ Despot Voda 1561
"The emperor Trajan, after conquering this country, divided it among his soldiers and made it into a Roman colony, so that these Romanians are descendants, as it is said, of these ancient colonists, and they preserve the name of the Romans." ~ 1532, Francesco della Valle Secretary of Aloisio Gritti, a natural son to Doge
Hmmm... That is surprising...! You're a mixed girl!
I thought you were some ultra Hungarian nationalist. Unless you're making fun of me with that line and if you are then I have to admit that I don't understand.
Yes I know about the people that you speak...
I will tell you about them... In my ancestral home believe it or not near Bucharest. We build our houses with high fences. The houses were long and whitewashed.
When a house was built we would first mark out the four corners. There we would draw some runes on them and pray. I don't mean Norse runes... They're these markings that we make. At each corner we would bury a coin... We would also bury a bag full of money at the foundation. Then the house would be built.
People would come to our village to work. And we would hire them for day labor. All our houses were built on hills. Later on, the valley was settled by Bulgarians and some Serbs as you say... We didn't mix with them.
My grandfather tells me that one time a woman from our village married a Gypsie. A few days later the men burned her house down and drove them both out. (sure it isn't pretty but it is true).
The people were tall and handsome... Fair... But not like the Celts or British. I have only seen people like us in Iceland and Norway and only in some very localized communities. We have these "stergars"... They have "Gutaniowi Hailag" on them... Some have motifs of waves. I have seen crafts like that only in Iceland. The Bulgars would call out "nemtii" after us... That means "Germans"... but we would tell them... No you're wrong... We're not Germans...!
All my relatives are fair skinned some with blonde and red hair. But again not like the Celtic red, we're not like that. When I was born I had blonde hair. But the hair changed color and turned dark... Because of that some of my relatives called me "crowed up" or "the crow". Because my hair had turned dark...! They were only joking...

If you look at these women from Southern Norway that Palantides put up... The women where I'm from look exactly like them... Just these ones in the photo... I mean freaking identical. I can see my mother's twin in this picture.
This is a picture of someone's grandfather from Norway... (I think it was Haakon so be nice)... Ok... If you look at that blond man he is absolutely identical to one of my uncles who is now dead.
Yeah... and this is the thread where it was posted...

@ Getwulf! Sounds very interesting! aren't you Swab? You should make one of those genetic tests based on your Y chromosome and tell us all the result!
@ Piroska! Among the fact that you give as sources for your sayings an 8th grade homework, Mihai Viteazu used many mercenaries and about those Bulgarians and Serbians... maybe they were Romanians from Banat?
