  History of the term Vlach at AllExperts
As the Celts of Gaul were Romanized, the word changed its meaning to "Romanic people", as it is still kept in the name of the Walloons of Belgium and in the German exonyms:
This word for Romanic people was borrowed from the Germanic Goths (as *walhs) into Proto-Slavic some time before the 7th century.
From the Slavs, it was passed on to other peoples, such as the Hungarians ("Oláh") and Byzantines/Greeks ("Î'λάχοί", "Vlachoi") and was used for all Latin people of the Balkans.

People of a different stock, when, having suffered too long from an oppressive authority, they are suddenly relieved from it, are more liable to fall an easy victim to this erroneous sentiment.
The Romanic and Germanic elements in the population of France, together with Romanic and Germanic ideas, have gradually supplied what was wanting in the primitive character of the Celts; and both great rulers and great thinkers have, by action and thought, awakened and preserved among all classes a new and higher sense of nationality.
While other bodies of people place the highest value on the quiet enjoyment of the fruits of life, and dread first of all the idea of being disturbed in their quiet, it is the tendency of the man of Aryan stock to improve and refine the conditions of human society.

Although Roman occupation of Dacia ended in 271 A.D., the relationship between the Romans and Dacians flourished; mixed marriages and the adoption of Latin culture and language gradually molded the Romans and Dacians into a distinct ethnic entity.
Like all the other Romanic peoples, the Romanian nation was formed during a long period of time, starting with the Roman conquest of the Lower Danube zones and ending in the eighth and ninth centuries.
That is the reason why the Romanian people appeared and asserted themselves as a medieval nation north of the Danube and in Dobrudja, whereas in the south, in the Balkans, smaller groups of Aromanians (or Macedo- Romanians), Megleno-Romanians and Istro-Romanians survived.

 Romanians
The Romanian people are a nation in the meaning an ethnos (in Romanian: popor), defined more by a sense of sharing a common Romanian culture and having a Romanian mother tongue, than by citizenship or by being subjects to any particular country.
The closest ethnic groups to the Romanians are the other Romanic peoples of Southeastern Europe: the Istro-Romanians, the Aromanians (Macedo-Romanians) and the Megleno-Romanians.
The Aromanians and the Megleno-Romanians are Romanic peoples who live south of the Danube, mainly in Greece, Albania and the Republic of Macedonia, although some of them migrated to Romania in the 20th century.

Both peoples have peculiarities that distinguish them from all their neighbours, as none of the two is culturally Slavic and by territorial continuity both together constitute a non-Slavic island that splits the Slavic realm into two separate parts.
The Roman presence in Dacia (106-271 c.e.) was characterized by frequent revolts of the local inhabitants, and the occupation did never achieve a complete control of the region since different Dacian tribes kept their independence in earthen fortifications that they built on mountain peaks, and others moved outside the imperial borders.
The number of the people that adopted the Karaim Hebraism in the Khazar State was not so high as exaggerated by some historians such as Dunlop, etc. Therefore, it is not possible to state that all of the Hebrews in the Eastern Europe of today have come from the lineage of Khazar people.

 Myths - The Vlach people
After the Romans evacuated Dacia because of the imminent Barbaric invasions, which actually happened, the hypothetical Daco-Romans were supposed to have survived for about a millennium hidden in caves and forests in Transylvania, not being noticed by the different peoples that populated the land in successive waves of immigration.
Roman historians attest that the pugnacious Dacian people were hard to surrender and even women and children fought the Roman legions.
The Roman population of Dacia was not so numerous and consisted mainly in soldiers with no particular interest in colonizing or spreading the Roman culture, so they did not build important towns but only garrison strongholds.

After the war, communism was established on the territory of these “fraternal peoples,” and they became “fraternal states” and members of the new “family” of socialist countries.

And the factors that supposedly would draw the Russians closer to the Ukrainians, particularly commonality of religion, similarity of language, and shared existence within the borders of Kyivan Rus’, were used by the more powerful Russian nation to divest the weaker Ukrainian “brother” of his existence as a separate nation and independent state.

Nowadays, Romanians are the sole descendents of the eastern Romanic world and their language, along with Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and French, is a main descendant of latin.
Romanians are the only people that have preserved in their name (Romanian — derived from the Latin “romanus”) until the present time the memory of Rome’s Seal, a memory perpetuated in the name adopted by the national state, Romania.
In 1945, after 4 years of war with another 700,000 deaths, the democratic tradition of Romania was cut off by the arrival of Soviet troops and the imposition of the communist regime that reached its climax with Nicolae Ceausescu’s dictatorship.

But since computers that people do not know how to use are useless, such computers should be accompanied at installation by technicians and/or teachers who can show local library or school personnel how to use them and to teach others to use them.
So, people in every country will communicate with people in other countries, and much of that communication, especially from areas that speak minor languages, will be in English.
Contemporary educated people must have been horrified to hear the way the language was changing, just as many older people today are horrified that most people no longer use the word "shall", ever, but only "will", and many people never say "whom".

The Roman Iron Age is remarkable because even at that time the Eastern border of the three Baltic peoples was almost identical with the later ethnic and political frontiers.
It was mainly young people and active patriots who left their ancient homes in search of a new ground where the cultural and national identity of the Balt peoples was not in danger.
The Baltic people inhabit a territory of about 80,000 square miles (170,000 square klm.), and even the smallest of the Baltic nations, the Estonians, possesses a territory that is twice the size of Belgium.

The activity of the former among the people on the one hand, and the awakening of a strong religious life among the laity on the other, brought them together.
But it was in general the characteristic of the period under review, that the laity always came more to the front, and in the fifteenth century they took their place in their free religious associations alongside the monks in theirs, though, no doubt, as a rule, there was dependence on the monastic unions.
While in the Romanic lands the Mendicant Orders grew weaker, and in Germany the religious life, still through their influence partly, slowly advanced, the world-ruling Church pursued a course of complete self-abandonment at Avignon, and seemed to have the deliberate wish to subject the ecclesiastical fidelity of the already imperilled piety to the severest test.

The Romans were techically superior and it is easy to understand how they adopted that language so easily, and why they had no reason to borrow from the Teutons : There is no such things as 'primitive' and 'advanced'.
