Are you looking for linguistic parallels? I have to look it up, if
there is any information at all.

The thing with Kalojan is interpreted as being political, as far as I
remember. There is no evidence of him being Roman, just
interpretations of his letter to the Pope. He played a part saying
he wants to adopt Catholicism and so won the Latins' support
against Byzantium, but he forgot about his desire to convert
quickly after the wars. There is always a reason for people to
say something. The reason may be other than voicing the truth.

I am not reading hypotheses since every analysis of facts is a
hypothesis. We are not Gods to be able to see the objective
facts. I never read about any Vlaho-Bulgarian empire in school
or elsewhere. I do not recognize the name of it. Check it out in
our history textbooks. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to
quote.

Which reminds me Poles had to read in their Communist
textbooks the Russians attacked them on the 17th of September
1939 to "liberate them from the Germans". Go figure.
