I wonder about the darkness of the place where these people lived.
Beside the "romanus" > "român" there is no other nationality known by
rumanians which has the sufix "ân" : persan, african, italian, german,
all of them ends in "-an".
Of course they are -linguisticaly- to see as new borrowings into
languages. Or maybe I make a failure and I cannot see right now and
there are other folks which end in "-ân" into Rum. lang? Pretty selfish
these valahians. Keept just Romanus as something specialy:-)
