In the _seventh_ century? Something is wrong here: either the people or the date.
> What doesnt fit too much is that the rumanians have such much words from bulgarian. And that the romanian "phonetism" shows "traces" of north bulgarian. This is a another strange thing for a people who are supposed to cradle womewhere in balcans, south or south-west of bulgariansWhy? When the Vlachs first appear as a significant ethnos in the Byzantine records, it's in coexistence with the Slavic Bulgarians in what is now northern Greece and southern Bulgaria, then expanding north. Who says they borrowed Slavic words while still in their "cradle"?Piotr
