I have no strictly _linguistic_ arguments apart from the the Albano-Romanian
"substratal conspiracy", but given the distribution of the Romanian dialects
at present and in the past (without claiming special historical status for
Daco-Romanian), the dialectal isoglosses within the Romanian cluster, and
the history of Dacia in the late Roman period and during the Great
Migrations, Dacia is not a likely homeland for Common Romanian. All the
relevant arguments have been discussed here before, so anyone interested in
a more detailed discussion may go back to ca. Message #15000, when such a
discussion was in full swing.
