There have been some scholars who belived Dacian should be a
different language from Thracian.
In their work I got not convinced since all the differences showed
there,seems to be just dialectal differences and no more.
The very big point of discusion was the assumption that in Dacian
there is just "-dava" and in Thracian should be "-para", "-bria", "-
dizos" as words which should means city.
I prefer to give more credit to Strabo as to Duridanov or Georgiev .
