A New Synthesis on the Slavic Glotto‐ and Ethnogenesis and on the Earliest Slavic‐Romanian Relations in the 6th century C.E.

Summary/Abstract: The author tries to summarize the recent results in various fields of investigation — linguistics, history, archaeology, DNA analysis — referring to southeast Europe, mainly regarding the Romanian‐Slavic relations. He also briefly resumes the discussions referring to the so‐called ‘earliest Slavic borrowings in Romanian’, with a brief look at another interesting term, *tъrgъ, but also at the not‐at‐all clear relation between Rom. oraș and Hung. város. The hypotheses regarding the origins of the Albanians are also briefly considered as the conventionally called ‘ethnogenesis’ of the Romanians, Slavs and m Albanians is one problem with various facets, not different problems. The conclusion is that the years to come should witness a radical change in analyzing the past, specifically the period of migrations, from 4th to 10th centuries A.D., during which the social and cultural realities were more complex than currently acknowledged.
