[542] [541] To explain the lack of early borrowings, Brezeanu supposes that the Christian Proto-Romanians and the pagan Proto-Slavs did not mix. [151] Schulte proposes that the Proto-Romanians and Proto-Slavs lived in close proximity under Avar rule, but neither group could achieve cultural dominance, because the Avars formed the elite. [74]
Battle between the Slavs and the Scythians — painting by Viktor Vasnetsov (1881). The early Slavs were speakers of Indo-European dialects [1] who lived during the Migration Period and the Early Middle Ages (approximately from the 5th to the 10th centuries AD) in Central, Eastern and Southeast Europe and established the foundations for the Slavic nations through the Slavic states of the Early ...

The Slavs or Slavic people are groups of people who speak Slavic languages.Slavs are geographically distributed throughout the northern parts of Eurasia; they predominantly inhabit Central Europe, Eastern Europe, Southeastern Europe, and Northern Asia, though there is a large Slavic minority scattered across the Baltic states and Central Asia, [1] [2] and a substantial Slavic diaspora in the ...
The Romanians' ethnogenesis cannot be understood based exclusively on written sources, because the earliest records on their ancestors were made by 11th-century Byzantine historians. [41] When referring to the Romance-speaking population of Southeastern Europe , early medieval sources used the Vlach exonym or its cognates , which all derived ...

[89] Based on findings of different types of fibulae and pottery identified with the Slavs on banks of Danube around Iron Gates, and ...
The Romani people have a number of distinct populations, the largest being the Roma, who reached Anatolia and the Balkans about the early 12th century from a migration out of northwestern India beginning about 600 years earlier. [167] [168] The Roma migrated throughout Europe and Iberian Calé or Caló.
The Eastern Slavs of these early times apparently lacked a written language. The few known facts come from archaeological digs, foreign travellers' accounts of the Rus' land, and linguistic comparative analyses of Slavic languages. [4] Very few native Rus' documents dating before the 11th century (none before the 10th century) have survived.
