This is a nice question George. For myself I see there a big difference
among slavs and the normal migrators.
If the migrators were really just the rulling class, the slavs were somehow
like the Daco-Gtan population we can say they have had the same habbits.
I mean, they practiced agriculture, they were not for just mkaing trouble
and taking away, they just wanted some land.
In my opinion the slavs were the only who really mixed with the daco-getan
population after the roman period.. So I could explain the major
contribution
of words from common slavic into the actually romanian language.Of course
the curch made the rest but this really living together of the slavs and the
local population made the influence to be that big.A big part of them
crossed the Donau and some of them remained in what today is Rumania.
What about I wonder is this: We did the slavs not remained in Dacia and they
prefered to cross the border in Moesia?To be just the attraction of the
Roman Empire?
Maybe there are some specialist in slavic migration who could explain
shortly what about.
