  Dacian language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dacian used to be one of the major languages of South-Eastern Europe, stretching from what is now Eastern Hungary to the Black Sea shore.
The Dacian language may form the substratum of the Proto-Romanian language, which developed from the Vulgar Latin spoken in the Balkans north of the Jirecek line that roughly divides Latin influence from Greek influence.
Whether Dacian in fact forms the substratum of Proto-Romanian is disputed (see Origin of Romanians), yet this theory does not rely on the Romanization having occurred in Dacia, as Dacian was also spoken in Moesia, and as far south as northern Dardania.

The cities of the Dacians were known as Dava, Daua, Deva, Deba or Daba.
From A.D. to 89, the Dacians were engaged in two wars with the Romans, under Duras or Diurpaneus, and the great Decebalus.

The name of the Carpathian mountains is thus probably either derived from their name, or their name is derived from the name of the mountains.
However, the archaeological remains of the Carpian settlements show that their culture was derived from the Dacian La Tène culture, with Roman and Scythian influences.
Their fate (as the fate of all the free Dacians in general) is still a matter of debate to historians.

B.C. The name was revived by Napoleon for the provinces of Illyria (1809–1815) and retained for the kingdom of Illyria, a division of Austria from 1816 to 1849.
The name Illyrians was used by some groups among the Croats up to their period of romantic nationalism in the 19th century, but was eventually abandoned as a potentially misleading anachronism.
The Dacians were defeated by the Roman Empire under Emperor Trajan in two campaigns stretching from 101 to 106, and the core of their kingdom became the Roman province of Dacia.

Such names are not to be found, also not in a new meaning, such as in a hypothetical case: *'fig tree' > *'large tree with hanging twigs', *'willow'.[N.121] The lack is significant as the opposite case, import into S. Asia, is indeed found.
Rather, Occam's razor applies, again: PIE has a number of temperate/cold climate plants and animals which never existed in South Asia but which can be reconstructed for all/most of PIE; their names follow IE rules of word formation (root structure, suffixes etc.) and exhibit the typical formational possibilities of IE (ablaut, exchange of various suffixes).
According to the autochthonous theory, these non-Indian plant and animal names would have to be new words that were coined only when the various IE tribes had already emigrated out of India.
