A little update! I got 100% on this project! And in addition, my Spanish teacher now also watches these videos! Also my friends in Romania and America have texted me about this video despite me not telling them anything. So thank you all so much for watching. It really does mean the world to me!
@@schoolaccount704 Greece?? What we now call Romania used to be Dacia, a loosely tied together culture of tribal people, hard to even call it a cohesive country for the majority of time.
@@schoolaccount704 You are right that our medieval Empire between 1185-1396 was know as Vlachia (in many other variations such as the translatio Imperii form of "Bulgaria", Blakie la Grant (Greater Vlachia), Blokumannaland (Old Norse for Land of the Vlach's), Vlakhia, Roj de Blaquie et de Bougrie (Kingdom/Empire of Vlachia and Bulgaria) or as the Arabic form Al-Awalak (Vlachia). But Principality of Wallachia that was a successor state and became independent in 1330, was never really called that, but "Țeara Rumânească" meaning "Land of Romanian's (Român's)". Term used for all land's inhabited by Romanian's (Român's) was "România" as early as the 17th century (about 400 years before the creation of Romania). And this is the truth, in Romanian we call our country "România" which mean's Land of Român's and not "Roman's" even tho out ethnic identity comes from Latin Rōmānus.
@@tibimarinCompletely wrong. I am a Romanian myself but you are a dacopath for saying that before Romania, we were "dAcIa", a complete Dacopathic conspiracy theory lie. He is right, the Byzantine's referred to the Eastern Roman Empire or "Kingdom/Empire of the Roman's" in Greek: Βασίλειος τον Ρώμαίοι as Ρώμανία literally Rómanía. And he is also right about that before we united as _"România",_ our states were known as Wallachia (1330-1859), Moldavia (1343-1859) and Vlachian Empire (1185-1396).
Dude, it is not a smart thing to call a romanian "brother". They are the most hated nation in europe's history, backstabbers, betraying allies, broken peace treaties, etc. And the country is not even 200 years old... imagine that.
Thank you! This video wasn't even meant to be a UA-cam video, it was a video I made for my Spanish IB class for a project 😅 But if people enjoy them, I'd be honored to make more
I’m from Brazil here. Next year I’m gonna be visiting for 40 days Romania, Moldova, Serbia, Bulgaria. I can hardly wait. I always thought it AMAZING that Romania speaks a latin language. I can see many similarities to portuguese.
Thank you! I can't take credit for all the art but at least the Romanian, Spanish, Dacian and Roman country balls are indeed mine. I'll make sure to draw more for future videos! 💪
There are some things that are quite wrong in this video about the Romanian part. Which obviously aren't your fault, as it is hard to get to the bottom of all thing's that some nationalists would call "facts" At 9:20 you showed the province of Dacia Traiana as it was after 117. Between 106-117, Rome annexed about 85% of the entire Dacian land's. They controlled land's all the way to the river Crisul Repede in the north west of the territory, to the Bistrita river in the North-East, which were given to Moesia Inferior, and is mostly known as AD Moesiam Inferiorem (Upper land's of Moesia Inferior). Thus, Rome controlled by that point 95% of modern Romania, and regions such as: Muntenia, Crisana, Banat, Oltenia, Transilvania and half of Moldavia were part of the Empire. But most gains were abandoned by Hadrianvs in 117, to the land's what you showed on minute 9:20 12:22 Oopsi, you entered the Dacopathic conspiracy theory, which i understand, this is the part that mislead many UA-camrs. In that picture at 12:22, Dacopaths argues that Romanian's were NEVER ROMANIZED thus still "dAcIAn", and the proof is in that picture as we still have "dAcIaN cLoThInG", but no that's just average Balkan cloths for a peasant/shepherd. And yeah, the only thing Dacopaths argument has are theories, that's why we call them conspiracy theories. There's almost nothing left from the Dacian language and culture except very few brief documentation from writer's from the Roman Empire and Ancient Greece (e.g Athen's). So word's such as Brad and Apa are not Dacian as there is nothing to prove that, but we have Latin, and those two words are in fact from latin, e.g Bratus>Brad and Aqua>Apa. And nope again, 18:42 those are yet again basic Balkanic traditional clothing, found everywhere. 20:12 that's not a Dacian tradition cuz yet again, we have very little information on what their traditions were. The last thing, at 22:22 the so called "Vlach's" by nationalist Serb's are in fact Timok-Romanian's, they still call their language "Rumáneşte" and themselves "Rumán" (e.g Romanian language and Romanian's). Practically all of us East-Romance people are Vlach's. Very great video nevertheless, and was hilarious as well👍🏻
If those cloths where common among the people from Balkans, the foreign travellers would point it out in their journals. A few of them said that the cloths of the Vlachs resemble the cloths we seen in Rome on the statues or on the column. Badea Cârțan based on his cloths was called by Italians as a Dacian when they found him at the base of the column of Trajan. The Balakan folk cloths resemble each others but are not the same thing. The cloths we used today yeah, they look to much like each others with our neighbors. The foreign travellers are like this when they talk about what Romanians wear. The upper class the boyars dress like the Turks, the common people dress modest after the custom of their ancestors. They could point out if it was the chase that they dress like all the Slavs, but they don't. And some of those even where from Russia, or people who went thru Poland, Bulgaria and Serbia and dont point out saying, they dress the same as their neighbors.
Thanks for the information! The Dacia Traiana was a mistake on my part, it was a bit of an oversimplification as yes Hadrianus did abandon much of Dacia along with Armenia and Mesopotamia and the initial province was much larger, as I even showed lol For the Dacian aspects you're right we don't know too much about Dacian culture and traditions, and I agree it's ubsurd to say the Dacians were never Romanized, I mean in Romania we speak a Romance language lol. But there is of course a lot of Dacian influence left over. Linguistically not a lot as I said, and I'm not a linguist so take what I say with a grain of salt, but I believe a lot of words in Romanian have multiple origins. Take our word for yes "da" which of course comes from the Slavic root "da" but also potentially from the Latin root "ita" "thus". Convergent etymology is complex and I'm afraid I don't really understand it so I could be wrong. Here's the Wikipedia article I learned the Dacian roots from, I'm sure people a lot more knowledgeable than me can explain it because I have very little idea XD en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_reconstructed_Dacian_words And as for the clothing, yea the Ie as far as I know goes back to the Dacians. This isn't to say it's solely a Dacian invention as it is widespread throughout the Balkans and Ukraine, (one time I mistook a Romanian girl for Ukrainian just because her dress was Bokovinian and I'm from Banat XD) but that's where our national clothing comes from as opposed to the Illyrians or Thracians for other nationalities. For the sorcova section. I'm not able to find exact sources for the first use of the sorcova, all I know for sure is that it's a very very old celebration which is at minimum pre-Christian and predates written sources in Romania. Of course all of my family has said it is a Dacian tradition. Which considering the propaganda of Ceausescu may or may not be true, but my grandparents also say it and they lived before the time of Ceausescu so... I don't know. I can't prove for certain 🫤 Then for the Vlachs, again you're right. Vlach is an exonem originating from Germanic which described a Celtic group then spread to Slavic which spread it to the Greeks and came to mean Latin Speaker, so no Romance speaking population naturally calls itself Vlach. But throughout history Romanians, Franks and Italians were all called it by outsiders. The Vlachs in Serbia were actually recent migrations from Transylvania in the 1800s too I believe so not at all a seperate group from the Daco-Romanians, I just wanted to have a larger group than the Megalo Romanians for the map, even thought that would have been more correct... 😓 I don't think my Spanish teacher knows that though! So if you don't tell her I won't 😉 And thanks again for all the information, I think it's always important to hear criticism so that you can learn!
@@Samsung-1.9Cu.Ft.Microwavewell I wouldn't say completely. But I also wish the Greeks wrote more about the language and culture. As it stands we know the basic religion, many many names of flowers and plants and some words for describing natural landscapes!
Basic Balkan clothing still highlights Dacian influence. Where do you think those clothing styles stem from? The Thraco-Dacian and Illyrian continuum is precisely where that style of clothing originated. Thus, it is an element of Dacian culture than was maintained in Romanian culture, but also passed onto others. If the traditions are generally Balkanic, that means that they are Paleo-Balkan, as in Dacian, Thracian, etc. Unless there is evidence that they are Slavonic, they are certainly Dacian. That is simply the logical conclusion.
Really solid video! Always was fascinated by Romania in particular. Very interesting culture and history. Topic ensures you'll attract some unhinged Balkanoids in the comments but that's the name of the game lol
When invading Dacia, Trajan assembled the largest army Rome has ever assembled, both before and after. I don’t remember the exact number but way way way more than the conquest of Gaul for example
There was NO "New Spain" before Iberians landed. If talking about NS then it was Roman Catholicism. If solely speaking sbout the "natives" they did not all worship the same God. A good chunk got 💀 to satisfy the gods. Good lawd, and you got a like, smh...
If you will add many memes to your videos that have to do with the topic, I see you becoming a big youtuber like Living Ironically In Europe. Much love from Romania!!! ❤🇷🇴🤘🏻🐺
Reading all the comments and you guys need to chill. Yes, he made some historical errors and omitted some facts, but some of you are ridiculously nitpicky. "You forgot to mention this/that". Have you ever tried to make a UA-cam video? Sorry that he didn't mention what position the earth was in relation to the sun during the Roman Empire, jeez.
great video! especially as the first one on your channel from what i can see! however i think teh music is a bit too loud, its hard to hear what you are saying sometimes! other than that very cool and informative!
Overall good job with this video! Some errors have already been addressed by @InAeternumRomaMater. I just wanted to add that the Romanian word "apa" comes from Latin "Aqua". In Romanian the "q" became a "p". Other examples: Latin "quattuor" = Romanian "patru" Latin "equos" Romanian "Iapa". There is no evidence which supports the idea that "apa" comes from Dacian. I believe that the reason the Romanization of Hispania (Spain) took longer is because Spain was colonized during the middle republic; when Rome wasn't quite as powerful as it was during the empire. When Rome colonized Spain, Rome was still a regional power, not a supreme power, therefore not many resources went into Romanizing Hispania. Ergo the process took longer. In contrast, the intensity of Romanization in Dacia was much higher because Rome conquered Dacia during its zenith, when it had infinite resources and manpower, therefore, Romanization in Dacia was a lot faster.
So without getting into the historical accuracy of the video - which I certainly don’t know enough about to get into a discussion about, can we ask please draw attention to the song playing from minute 13:00 onwards, which talks about a dude with an appendix so massive that, with just one of his condoms, you could make three pairs of sleeves for three dresses? This is probably my favourite Renaissance song.
Nice vid, hope to see more from you. I'd just disagree with one thing, cause while Romania may be not as etnically diverse as some places, it still has a number of large and vocal minorities - hell, their president is german! Plus, it's important to note - coming from Romanians that I've spoken to - that there is a sort of a regional rivalry between cities and, say, municipalities.
Oh yea for sure, in the video I simplified a bit to make it poetic at the end. I wanted to show that Romanians are a unified ethnicity while the Spanish comprise many regional identities, but for sure, Romania has many ethnic minorities, I made the joke about Hungarians and Secui in the video, but also Saşi(Germans), Ukrainians, Serbs, Slovaks, Gypsies, Bulgarians and more! And as a Banatian/Transylvanian I never fail to endlessly tease my Moldovan and Oltenian friends 😉
There is a difference between the homogeneity of the Romanian ethnic group (language) and the ethnic configuration of Romania today. If we compare Romanian with the other 3 major European Romance languages - French, Italian and Spanish, Romanian is by far the most homogeneous, only one dialect (called Daco-Romanian) was and is spoken in Romania, Moldova + all neighboring countries, and that after more than 1400 years before those areas were united into one country. The other 3 dialects of the Romanian language are spoken in the Balkans (Greece, Macedonia, Albania and Croatia - Istria). In the other languages, before the unification of Italy (1850+), the imposition of French as the only language in schools (early 1800 - after the French revolution), it was impossible for a speaker from the north of those countries to understand another from the south. The French succeeded best in making the regional languages and dialects disappear (they also made the the Germanic population from Alsace and Lorraine lose their language), the Italians are also close to erasing the other Romance languages and dialects, only the Spanish were not as successful (Catalonia, Galicia, Basque Country).
When you started talking about holidays I thought that this felt like something on a rubric and then I read the description. Great video though you could make an actual UA-cam channel out of this type of content (I'm gonna ignore the last couple of seconds and act like that's a fun idea)
They are not “pre-Indo-European”, they arrived in Europe at around the same time Indo-Europeans did. They are non-Indo-European, but not pre-Indo-European.
Ugro Finns like the Hungarians, Fins and Estonians are not Indo European its true, but unlike the Basques they arrived later than the Indo Europeans. Or at least this is the case for the Hungarians and Estonians, I cant say for sure for the Fins because our historical documents are lacking...
Wonderfully presented video but I think the research could have been better. As another comentor has pointed out, a few of the things about Dacians aren't quite right. Although difficult to pronounce (btw, great Latin, Spanish and Romanian pronunciation!), the word mânz is an etymologically interesting word to look at as it's quite different from other languages. Also, at 13:48, it is very controversial to say that the Roman Catholic Church was established by Constantine while the Orthodoxy was solely the religion of Byzantium. This becomes theological, but the Roman Catholic Church was formed when the Bishop of Rome was excommunicated by the Patriarch of Constantinople in 1054. Until then, the West and East followed the same Creed.
Thank you! Yea I 100% oversimplified regarding the situation of the churches, I didn't want to get to far into the history of the Christian churches for my Spanish project, but let me know what I got wrong about Dacia. I want to make a video in the future just about the Dacian-Romanian connection because this seems to be a way more controversial and complex topic than I expected.
We don't know if Ie (or traditional clothing) and the pagan celebrations actually come from dacians/romans, most likely they evolved over the centuries based on all the different populations who travelled through during different migrations, available materials, trade, and based on the influence of nearby cultures and ruling elites, as well as other trends inside the different spheres of influence we were under for 2000 years. We also have a lot of "Dacopaths" - conspiracy theorists who think the Dacians ruled over the world, invented every technology, invented every other language, and their achievements are somehow hidden by the vatican/rich elites/jews and anyone disagreeing is paid to lie. They make a lot of low quality blog posts, facebook posts, and youtube videos.
this was so well done! Bravo măi! Sper că ai primit o notă bună! Am fost foarte surprins de cât de bine pronunți latina de asemenea și mă gândeam că în final am găsit un anglofon competent, dar după ce ai zis că ești român mi-am dat seama de ce ți-e pronunția așa bună :)))
Hahahaha mersi frate! Sunt un pic anglofon și eu, am trăit en Canada pentru mulți ani și am uitat română după câțiva ani. Dar când am venit înapoi en România am mai amintit un pic 😂
Gratias tibi! I speak a bit of Latin to use for history and biology, so I can sorta pronounce classical Latin, although I'm nowhere near conversational lol
Italic colonization* I would have said. People who colonized came from the entire Italian Peninsula. Also it would have been nice to see the Italian flag next to the SPQR, to keep it coherent with the other modern flags that are shown in the video.
I rlly like the video content wise. I kinda wish the bg music was just a tad bit lower cuz its sometimes hard to hear what u are saying (or its just me)
Very good video, I haven't found anything similar on this topic. However I recommend to lower music a bit, sometimes it's hard to hear what are you saying...
Thank you! For sure I'll make sure to lower the volume a tad next time. Although this video was made as a project for my Spanish IB class so I guess thats why the topic is so unique lol
1:22 I think “Iberia ante Romam” is the correct way of saying it it seems that you wrote “Iberia vines about Rome” “ante” means before, and it takes the accusative, so “before Rome” is “ante Romam” “antes” means “rows of vines” amongst other things “de” means about, and takes the ablative so “de Roma” means about Rome
Haha, I'm afraid it was just a project in my Spanish class about comparing Spain to my home country. But I hope to make a video in the future on all of Romanian history. English UA-cam is lacking in Romanian history content lol
I don't know if related, but there are some similar ancient names in both countries Ilergeta./ sounds like Illyrian,Gettae Turdulii/ Turda city Carpetanii/ the Carpii Viseu city in Portugal/ Viseu river in Romania.
Great video, very informative. The music you selected for the video is great, but it is a little loud when compared to your voice. Otherwise brilliant vid.
See that you made a mistake regarding the fact that the Catholic Church was founded by Constantine the Great. Constantine the Great made official the Orthodox Catholic Church, from which the Pope of Rome separated during the medieval period. Even though the Pope of Rome has continuity with the Apostle Peter, for political and cultural reasons, he divorced from the Church. The Orthodox Church (called the Orthodox Catholic Church) is the great Church founded by Jesus, not something that appeared after the schism and was used by the Eastern Roman Empire. This is a 'small' mistake that Catholics have with history
Yea you're right that I oversimplified, although the original church was also just called the Catholic Church, as Catholic just means universal, but for Spain it was introduced straight from Constantine while in Romania it wasn't introduced until a lot later by Bulgarian missionaries that the Byzantines sent. Both churches have good claim to being the original church of Christ but either way the Eastern and Western Churches split multiple times over a multitude of different theological and political differences.
@@thatstorm_spectre the official name of the orthodox church is the Orthodox Catholic Church and it was the first church in christian history. Regarding christianity in Romania, we have some evidence about it's existence way before the bulgarians even migrating into europe.
I think when it comes to Romania, many people overlooked the Eastern Roman Empire(or Byzantine) that manage to rezist another 1000 years. So the latinized dacians were still influeneced by the romans for around 400 to 500 years more when around 6th century latin was fazed out of the Byzantine and replaced with greek, especiaplly în the early days when they had the empire borde as the Danube before the arrival of the slavs and Bulgars. Not to mention the name Romania comes from like this byzantine greco-roman term Ρωμανια(Rhomania) meaning country of the romans
YESS!! ... The greek Byzantine empire, in which greek language was spoken, was teaching the Dacians latin language 🤣 Makes sense, not much, but nice try
@@alexateodor if you didnt read with much attention I was saying that even up until 6th century there might have been some roman influence. Os it possible,maybe, are we sure probably not since we dont have enough records from that period of time but its not out of equation that some form of interaction might have exist, in what way like I said we dont have enough evidence So what im saying is that there could have been more roman interaction then just 160 years
@@alexateodor If you didnt read well enough I was saying that even in that time period there might have been some type of roman influence in the area, and even comming from south, and no it wasnt always greek, the Eastern Roman Empire was stil using latin up until aprox 6 century, greek was more dominant in the area of today Greece and Turkey. but in other parts of the balkan vulgar latin was more spoken, and like I said up until around 6th century when starts the age of the great migrations and slavs are one of the grroups introduced in the area, the thig with the name yeah might have been coincidence but there it is. Like explain how that ancient population was able to learn latin at such faster rate, 160 of dominance in Roman Dacia province. Things aren`t so cut and dry. Up there I just made a vary fast vague summarizing, there might have been more?? we dont know since we dont have enough evindence
The only complain I have is that in northwestern Iberia there were not celts, but older indo-europeans called Gallaeci by the romans, they were a bit celtized due to having a celtic conqueror aristocracy, but were different from other actual celtic groups like the Carpetani, Astures or Turduli. Aand by the time of the roman conquest the Tartessos were mostly extinct, with the Turdetani, that were the succesors of the Tartessos but more heavily carthaginized
Thanks for the information! I made a few mistakes on the pre-Roman Iberia section, I'm afraid this project was the first time I'd ever researched pre Roman Iberia, so thanks for the heads up! If I get to make an IA in Spanish I'll make sure to remake this video for that!
My wording there is a bit poor, but Christmas was its own celebration about the birth of Christ, however when brought to the Roman population it was adapted to fit Saturnalia and Saturnalia adapted to fit the birth of Christ. So it's not so much that Christmas came from Saturnalia as Saturnalia was one of the largest influences on Christmas. But hey, as long as you don't tell my Spanish teacher, I won't 😉
The region of Aquitaine is named in France after the aquitainians which are said to be the basque wouldn't it be fair to say that they inhabitted a larger area then that depicted on the map by you?
Its absolutely possible, the topic I was given was just to discuss Spain, so France was out of the range of the topic, but if I ever make a video on France I'll be sure to look more into the Aquitainian connection! Thanks for the tip 😁
Not to be THAT guy but iberian people were not nomadic before roman rule, they had been a sedentary agricultural culture for at least 600 years. Cool video tho and its really good for being the first one
I would love to do one in the future! This was just a project for my Spanish IB class but I'm sure my friend in Brazil would be over the moon to help me make one on Poetugal. Although it'll be a while until IB let's me breath
They only settled in Anatolia as an invitation from the king back then who wanted help to defend their lands. I read about it how it all happened. They were called the galatians (from Galia)
@@mariodezert yeah but they invaded all the balkans, they maybe didn't settle but they did have a pressence in all the balkans. And this was before the Galatians went to Anatolia this was even before Rome was a Empire.
@@thatstorm_spectre The use of the Spurdo Spärde, "can't show that in a Christian manga", etc. I hope that once you become more popular you'll cease to be so upfront about this stuff, since you may be somewhat justifiably accused of being a racist/incel/nazi
@@MausOfTheHouse I've never actually been on 4Chan, I have some experience with /vt/ from a rabbit hole I fell in, but I myself have never actually been there, although I take it I should avoid it. I got the Dacian beaver spurdo sparde from a Living Ironically in Europe video lol
Look to make y'all happy here is why Romanians are Dacians, the Dacians went to the Illyrians and Thracians and make a huge Balkan/Roman peoples the Romanian therefore are natives to the region and to all the Balkans really because they have Illyrian, Moesian, Thracian and Dacian blood in them! All the Balkans therefore should belong to Romania! 😊❤
Yea it borders 4 I'm sorry. But it wasn't Andorra I forgot, it was Britain. I added a little joke in the video that I'd forgotten Britain owned Gibraltar while recording lol
12:27 "Apă" most certainly is derived from Latin "aqua". Lat. "qu", in certain situations, transforms to "p" in Romanian. Examples: "equa" -> "iapă" (Eng. "mare" - female horse) "quattuor" -> "patru" (Eng. "four" - 4) By the way, "patru" and "four" are related. At some point in Germanic languages, "four" must have started with a "p", and then, following Grimm's Law, the "p" changed" for an "f". And then Romanian landed on 4 starting with a "p". It's funny how these things turn out!
"Patru" and "four" are related because both these words come from Proto-Indo-European. Neither descends from the other, rather they have a common ancestor.
Hungarians are actually Huns. Literally they are the Huns! Not Mongols, who come later. Bulgars are Turkic BTW. I know it was a joke. But I felt must point that out.
No he's British, I made a mistake because I knew his father spoke Spanish and I remembered that I'd heard that he said he was Spanish but I can't find that anywhere. He's British and his parents were American I believe
Kinda superficial, I would have focused more on theyr foreign policy dynamics, romania Beeing the only Latin country in europe that diddn't pursue a colonial foreign policy through out it's history. And was for the most part a colony itself. And a lot of other more interesting and profound dynamics that set these 2 related countries apart.
12:42 Wrong. While the Vlacho-Bulgarian Empires DID play a major role in the Christianization of Romanians, the process was begun by the Apostle Andrew himself, who is considered the Patron Saint of Romania and the Protector of Romanians (whom Romanians also called "The Apostle to The Wolves", because he preached to the Dacians). 13:47 That's wrong. The Roman Empire adopted NICENE CHRISTIANITY. Catholicism came to be in 1054 after the Great Schism. The "Byzantine Empire" did not exist. There only was The Eastern Roman Empire, whose religion was also Nicene Christianity which, post-schism became Orthodoxy. Search up Old Roman chants [which are pre-schism] and then Orthodox chants. You'll see that they're very much the same and proves my point. Love Spain btw
It's true, we consider Saint Andrew the origins of Christianity in Romania, but the process by and large was done by the Bulgarians, as we can see in our adoption of Cyrillic in the earlier years. I did say the later Roman Empire otherwise known as the Byzantine Empire, because the name Byzantine Empire often helps solidify a period in Roman history. Its true Nicean Christianity was the religion of the Roman Empire as opposed to Arianism, however the church was the Catholic Church, which simply meant the universal church. However the East and West Churches split many times including when the East compromised with Monophosites and when the West added the Filioque.
All the ethnic groups that has lived in Romania in its history: Dacian, Gaulish, Lusatian, Lepontic, Thracians, Illyrians, Sarmatian, Iazygian, Roman, Gothic, Gepid, Greek, Hunnic, Slavic, Oghur, Avar, Bulgar, Hungarians, Pechenegs, Cumans, Turks, Gagauz, Bulgarians, Austrians, Romanians, Russians, Ukrainians, Gypsies, Scythians, Jasz.
I'm afraid my family moved to Canada when I was young, and they forced me to learn English very quickly so I only spoke English for a few years but some shock therapy by being back in Romania fixed my language somewhat
12:03 is rather dumb and somewhat insulting.. Aound ranty and yes i get that it was a memabke object... But you showed 4 romance langauges mixing with Russian... To make romanian. Where Eussian was some sort of Repression of Slavic languages. Well.. Russian is ironically the keast similar to all other Slavic Languages. Even Ukrainian is more close to Polish than Russian. This is due to Russians being so far east that they were first dominated by very intolerant non slavs and traders, then conquered them and remixed. Plus it takes on some Latin terms as they seen themselves as new Roman Empire... Meanwhile all other slavs mixed between themselves and with their neighbours. Thus Polish is way more similar to Ukrainian and South Slavic languages (and vuce Versa) Than either are to... Russian. And as Romania doesn't even border Russia and did not have much modeling with Ruasia in its history as a region (until 20th century)... It nakes little sense to even use Russia as a representation of Slavs and Slavic languages. It's rather less Slavic and more of it's own thing akin to how English is not really Germanic nor Latin whilst it is bith. Henve Anghliaphere and Anglic becoming a category nowadays.
There are some wrong info here. First, Bulgarians had little to do with Romanians becoming Christians and second. Brad =/= tree, Copac = tree. Bradul is a specific type of tree like pine.
I meant to say they're the furthest points the Empire stretched in Europe because in Asia and Africa the Empire stretched further east and west. Sorry for the confusion lol 😅
Ohhhh sorry you're talking about the end of the video! Sorry, yea I meant that they're on opposite ends of the continent. Its not 100% true because Ukraine and Russia are further east, but it's a poetic ending
It's amazing how you completly ignore portugal or the tribes loving in the region when one of the main topics of the video is the colonization of iberia😂
I know I wanted to also talk about Portugal but this was a project for my Spanish language and history IB class, so it was just about comparing Spain and my home country. But considering how popular this is, I might do one on Portugal in the future 😁

"How did Rome influence Romania" It's literally the reason the country is named that.

He is right, the Byzantine's referred to the Eastern Roman Empire or "Kingdom/Empire of the Roman's" in Greek: Βασίλειος τον Ρώμαίοι as Ρώμανία literally Rómanía. And he is also right about that before we united as _"România",_ our states were known as Wallachia (1330-1859), Moldavia (1343-1859) and Vlachian Empire (1185-1396).

Same , may your former colonies reach the same level of economical and democratic development as modern spain, at least.
Dude, it is not a smart thing to call a romanian "brother".
They are the most hated nation in europe's history, backstabbers, betraying allies, broken peace treaties, etc. And the country is not even 200 years old... imagine that.
I just realised this is this guy's first video, and it's insanely good for a first time, keep it up my guy!
Thank you! This video wasn't even meant to be a UA-cam video, it was a video I made for my Spanish IB class for a project 😅 But if people enjoy them, I'd be honored to make more
I’m from Brazil here. Next year I’m gonna be visiting for 40 days Romania, Moldova, Serbia, Bulgaria. I can hardly wait.
I always thought it AMAZING that Romania speaks a latin language. I can see many similarities to portuguese.
Love our cousins 🇫🇷❤️🇷🇴🇪🇸

Amazing video and art! Keep going!
Thank you! I can't take credit for all the art but at least the Romanian, Spanish, Dacian and Roman country balls are indeed mine. I'll make sure to draw more for future videos! 💪
The extinct Dalmatian language was the link between Daco/Romanian and Italic languages primarily Venetian and Frulan
Great video man, keep up the work!!!
Excellent and very interesting video. I hope you will continue to make such quality videos. And greetings from Serbia.
This was great! Hope you consider making one about Portugal as well!
Awesome video!! That little dacian draco is the cutest little fella i've seen
Good video. My only complaint is the music is somewhat loud. Try lowering the levels when speaking.
There are some things that are quite wrong in this video about the Romanian part. Which obviously aren't your fault, as it is hard to get to the bottom of all thing's that some nationalists would call "facts"
At 9:20 you showed the province of Dacia Traiana as it was after 117. Between 106-117, Rome annexed about 85% of the entire Dacian land's. They controlled land's all the way to the river Crisul Repede in the north west of the territory, to the Bistrita river in the North-East, which were given to Moesia Inferior, and is mostly known as AD Moesiam Inferiorem (Upper land's of Moesia Inferior). Thus, Rome controlled by that point 95% of modern Romania, and regions such as: Muntenia, Crisana, Banat, Oltenia, Transilvania and half of Moldavia were part of the Empire. But most gains were abandoned by Hadrianvs in 117, to the land's what you showed on minute 9:20
12:22 Oopsi, you entered the Dacopathic conspiracy theory, which i understand, this is the part that mislead many UA-camrs. In that picture at 12:22, Dacopaths argues that Romanian's were NEVER ROMANIZED thus still "dAcIAn", and the proof is in that picture as we still have "dAcIaN cLoThInG", but no that's just average Balkan cloths for a peasant/shepherd. And yeah, the only thing Dacopaths argument has are theories, that's why we call them conspiracy theories. There's almost nothing left from the Dacian language and culture except very few brief documentation from writer's from the Roman Empire and Ancient Greece (e.g Athen's). So word's such as Brad and Apa are not Dacian as there is nothing to prove that, but we have Latin, and those two words are in fact from latin, e.g Bratus>Brad and Aqua>Apa. And nope again, 18:42 those are yet again basic Balkanic traditional clothing, found everywhere. 20:12 that's not a Dacian tradition cuz yet again, we have very little information on what their traditions were.
The last thing, at 22:22 the so called "Vlach's" by nationalist Serb's are in fact Timok-Romanian's, they still call their language "Rumáneşte" and themselves "Rumán" (e.g Romanian language and Romanian's). Practically all of us East-Romance people are Vlach's. Very great video nevertheless, and was hilarious as well👍🏻
If those cloths where common among the people from Balkans, the foreign travellers would point it out in their journals. A few of them said that the cloths of the Vlachs resemble the cloths we seen in Rome on the statues or on the column. Badea Cârțan based on his cloths was called by Italians as a Dacian when they found him at the base of the column of Trajan.
The Balakan folk cloths resemble each others but are not the same thing. The cloths we used today yeah, they look to much like each others with our neighbors.
The foreign travellers are like this when they talk about what Romanians wear. The upper class the boyars dress like the Turks, the common people dress modest after the custom of their ancestors. They could point out if it was the chase that they dress like all the Slavs, but they don't. And some of those even where from Russia, or people who went thru Poland, Bulgaria and Serbia and dont point out saying, they dress the same as their neighbors.
Pretty unfortunate that all dacian influence and culture is completely gone today
Thanks for the information!
The Dacia Traiana was a mistake on my part, it was a bit of an oversimplification as yes Hadrianus did abandon much of Dacia along with Armenia and Mesopotamia and the initial province was much larger, as I even showed lol
For the Dacian aspects you're right we don't know too much about Dacian culture and traditions, and I agree it's ubsurd to say the Dacians were never Romanized, I mean in Romania we speak a Romance language lol. But there is of course a lot of Dacian influence left over. Linguistically not a lot as I said, and I'm not a linguist so take what I say with a grain of salt, but I believe a lot of words in Romanian have multiple origins. Take our word for yes "da" which of course comes from the Slavic root "da" but also potentially from the Latin root "ita" "thus". Convergent etymology is complex and I'm afraid I don't really understand it so I could be wrong. Here's the Wikipedia article I learned the Dacian roots from, I'm sure people a lot more knowledgeable than me can explain it because I have very little idea XD
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_reconstructed_Dacian_words
And as for the clothing, yea the Ie as far as I know goes back to the Dacians. This isn't to say it's solely a Dacian invention as it is widespread throughout the Balkans and Ukraine, (one time I mistook a Romanian girl for Ukrainian just because her dress was Bokovinian and I'm from Banat XD) but that's where our national clothing comes from as opposed to the Illyrians or Thracians for other nationalities.
For the sorcova section. I'm not able to find exact sources for the first use of the sorcova, all I know for sure is that it's a very very old celebration which is at minimum pre-Christian and predates written sources in Romania. Of course all of my family has said it is a Dacian tradition. Which considering the propaganda of Ceausescu may or may not be true, but my grandparents also say it and they lived before the time of Ceausescu so... I don't know. I can't prove for certain 🫤
Then for the Vlachs, again you're right. Vlach is an exonem originating from Germanic which described a Celtic group then spread to Slavic which spread it to the Greeks and came to mean Latin Speaker, so no Romance speaking population naturally calls itself Vlach. But throughout history Romanians, Franks and Italians were all called it by outsiders. The Vlachs in Serbia were actually recent migrations from Transylvania in the 1800s too I believe so not at all a seperate group from the Daco-Romanians, I just wanted to have a larger group than the Megalo Romanians for the map, even thought that would have been more correct... 😓 I don't think my Spanish teacher knows that though! So if you don't tell her I won't 😉
And thanks again for all the information, I think it's always important to hear criticism so that you can learn!
@@Samsung-1.9Cu.Ft.Microwavewell I wouldn't say completely. But I also wish the Greeks wrote more about the language and culture. As it stands we know the basic religion, many many names of flowers and plants and some words for describing natural landscapes!
Basic Balkan clothing still highlights Dacian influence. Where do you think those clothing styles stem from? The Thraco-Dacian and Illyrian continuum is precisely where that style of clothing originated. Thus, it is an element of Dacian culture than was maintained in Romanian culture, but also passed onto others. If the traditions are generally Balkanic, that means that they are Paleo-Balkan, as in Dacian, Thracian, etc. Unless there is evidence that they are Slavonic, they are certainly Dacian. That is simply the logical conclusion.
Great video man
Awesome video!!!
your english is pretty spot on
Thank you! I lived in Canada for a few years so I learned a thing or two
Amazing! Hope to see great history from you in the future
Really solid video! Always was fascinated by Romania in particular. Very interesting culture and history.

Honestly never thought this video would pop off like this. My guy is about to attract all the history nerds :).
We should not forget the impact the Steppe Iranics had on South-Eastern Europe and the Balkans.
I would love to also make a video on all the influences on Eastern Europe. It's a place very dear to my heart. If only IB gave me more free time 😓
Irritable bowel syndrome…? 🤔
When invading Dacia, Trajan assembled the largest army Rome has ever assembled, both before and after. I don’t remember the exact number but way way way more than the conquest of Gaul for example
Maybe you could do a follow-up video comparing Spain and New Spain (Mexico). Catholic culture vs indigenous Mexica culture.
There was NO "New Spain" before Iberians landed. If talking about NS then it was Roman Catholicism. If solely speaking sbout the "natives" they did not all worship the same God. A good chunk got 💀 to satisfy the gods. Good lawd, and you got a like, smh...

Reading all the comments and you guys need to chill. Yes, he made some historical errors and omitted some facts, but some of you are ridiculously nitpicky. "You forgot to mention this/that". Have you ever tried to make a UA-cam video? Sorry that he didn't mention what position the earth was in relation to the sun during the Roman Empire, jeez.
I just want to say I love your videos they are edited so well! I find your video style were entertaining! Keep doing videos! ❤👏👍
great video! especially as the first one on your channel from what i can see! however i think teh music is a bit too loud, its hard to hear what you are saying sometimes! other than that very cool and informative!
Thank you so much! For sure I'll make sure to lower the music a tad next time
Overall good job with this video! Some errors have already been addressed by @InAeternumRomaMater. I just wanted to add that the Romanian word "apa" comes from Latin "Aqua". In Romanian the "q" became a "p". Other examples: Latin "quattuor" = Romanian "patru" Latin "equos" Romanian "Iapa". There is no evidence which supports the idea that "apa" comes from Dacian.
I believe that the reason the Romanization of Hispania (Spain) took longer is because Spain was colonized during the middle republic; when Rome wasn't quite as powerful as it was during the empire. When Rome colonized Spain, Rome was still a regional power, not a supreme power, therefore not many resources went into Romanizing Hispania. Ergo the process took longer. In contrast, the intensity of Romanization in Dacia was much higher because Rome conquered Dacia during its zenith, when it had infinite resources and manpower, therefore, Romanization in Dacia was a lot faster.
So without getting into the historical accuracy of the video - which I certainly don’t know enough about to get into a discussion about, can we ask please draw attention to the song playing from minute 13:00 onwards, which talks about a dude with an appendix so massive that, with just one of his condoms, you could make three pairs of sleeves for three dresses? This is probably my favourite Renaissance song.
Great video mate
thank you for your work
Love the video and subscribered! Hope to see more contenent from you!
Thank you! As soon as IB gives me a break I'd love to!
awesome video bro
Woo hoo! New history Chanel just dropped, boys!
Great video. Very interesting and funny as well.
Nice vid, hope to see more from you. I'd just disagree with one thing, cause while Romania may be not as etnically diverse as some places, it still has a number of large and vocal minorities - hell, their president is german! Plus, it's important to note - coming from Romanians that I've spoken to - that there is a sort of a regional rivalry between cities and, say, municipalities.
Oh yea for sure, in the video I simplified a bit to make it poetic at the end. I wanted to show that Romanians are a unified ethnicity while the Spanish comprise many regional identities, but for sure, Romania has many ethnic minorities, I made the joke about Hungarians and Secui in the video, but also Saşi(Germans), Ukrainians, Serbs, Slovaks, Gypsies, Bulgarians and more! And as a Banatian/Transylvanian I never fail to endlessly tease my Moldovan and Oltenian friends 😉
There is a difference between the homogeneity of the Romanian ethnic group (language) and the ethnic configuration of Romania today.
If we compare Romanian with the other 3 major European Romance languages - French, Italian and Spanish, Romanian is by far the most homogeneous, only one dialect (called Daco-Romanian) was and is spoken in Romania, Moldova + all neighboring countries, and that after more than 1400 years before those areas were united into one country. The other 3 dialects of the Romanian language are spoken in the Balkans (Greece, Macedonia, Albania and Croatia - Istria).
In the other languages, before the unification of Italy (1850+), the imposition of French as the only language in schools (early 1800 - after the French revolution), it was impossible for a speaker from the north of those countries to understand another from the south. The French succeeded best in making the regional languages and dialects disappear (they also made the the Germanic population from Alsace and Lorraine lose their language), the Italians are also close to erasing the other Romance languages and dialects, only the Spanish were not as successful (Catalonia, Galicia, Basque Country).
Uber interesting!

2:35 what about ugrofinns?
They are not “pre-Indo-European”, they arrived in Europe at around the same time Indo-Europeans did. They are non-Indo-European, but not pre-Indo-European.
Ugro Finns like the Hungarians, Fins and Estonians are not Indo European its true, but unlike the Basques they arrived later than the Indo Europeans. Or at least this is the case for the Hungarians and Estonians, I cant say for sure for the Fins because our historical documents are lacking...
Hey man , amazing work! Also Leftiță Săftiță goes way too fucking hard
Wonderfully presented video but I think the research could have been better. As another comentor has pointed out, a few of the things about Dacians aren't quite right. Although difficult to pronounce (btw, great Latin, Spanish and Romanian pronunciation!), the word mânz is an etymologically interesting word to look at as it's quite different from other languages. Also, at 13:48, it is very controversial to say that the Roman Catholic Church was established by Constantine while the Orthodoxy was solely the religion of Byzantium. This becomes theological, but the Roman Catholic Church was formed when the Bishop of Rome was excommunicated by the Patriarch of Constantinople in 1054. Until then, the West and East followed the same Creed.
Thank you! Yea I 100% oversimplified regarding the situation of the churches, I didn't want to get to far into the history of the Christian churches for my Spanish project, but let me know what I got wrong about Dacia. I want to make a video in the future just about the Dacian-Romanian connection because this seems to be a way more controversial and complex topic than I expected.
Good video, but next time you should really consider mixing the audio a little better cause the music audio is way louder than your narration.
We don't know if Ie (or traditional clothing) and the pagan celebrations actually come from dacians/romans, most likely they evolved over the centuries based on all the different populations who travelled through during different migrations, available materials, trade, and based on the influence of nearby cultures and ruling elites, as well as other trends inside the different spheres of influence we were under for 2000 years.
We also have a lot of "Dacopaths" - conspiracy theorists who think the Dacians ruled over the world, invented every technology, invented every other language, and their achievements are somehow hidden by the vatican/rich elites/jews and anyone disagreeing is paid to lie. They make a lot of low quality blog posts, facebook posts, and youtube videos.

1:22
I think “Iberia ante Romam” is the correct way of saying it
it seems that you wrote “Iberia vines about Rome”
“ante” means before, and it takes the accusative, so “before Rome” is “ante Romam”
“antes” means “rows of vines” amongst other things
“de” means about, and takes the ablative so “de Roma” means about Rome
im so sorry I thought you meant to write it in latin

3:21 Dacia was 10 times that big
See that you made a mistake regarding the fact that the Catholic Church was founded by Constantine the Great. Constantine the Great made official the Orthodox Catholic Church, from which the Pope of Rome separated during the medieval period. Even though the Pope of Rome has continuity with the Apostle Peter, for political and cultural reasons, he divorced from the Church. The Orthodox Church (called the Orthodox Catholic Church) is the great Church founded by Jesus, not something that appeared after the schism and was used by the Eastern Roman Empire. This is a 'small' mistake that Catholics have with history
Yea you're right that I oversimplified, although the original church was also just called the Catholic Church, as Catholic just means universal, but for Spain it was introduced straight from Constantine while in Romania it wasn't introduced until a lot later by Bulgarian missionaries that the Byzantines sent. Both churches have good claim to being the original church of Christ but either way the Eastern and Western Churches split multiple times over a multitude of different theological and political differences.
@@thatstorm_spectre the official name of the orthodox church is the Orthodox Catholic Church and it was the first church in christian history. Regarding christianity in Romania, we have some evidence about it's existence way before the bulgarians even migrating into europe.
I think when it comes to Romania, many people overlooked the Eastern Roman Empire(or Byzantine) that manage to rezist another 1000 years.
So the latinized dacians were still influeneced by the romans for around 400 to 500 years more when around 6th century latin was fazed out of the Byzantine and replaced with greek, especiaplly în the early days when they had the empire borde as the Danube before the arrival of the slavs and Bulgars.
Not to mention the name Romania comes from like this byzantine greco-roman term Ρωμανια(Rhomania) meaning country of the romans
YESS!! ... The greek Byzantine empire, in which greek language was spoken, was teaching the Dacians latin language 🤣 Makes sense, not much, but nice try
@@alexateodor if you didnt read with much attention I was saying that even up until 6th century there might have been some roman influence. Os it possible,maybe, are we sure probably not since we dont have enough records from that period of time but its not out of equation that some form of interaction might have exist, in what way like I said we dont have enough evidence
So what im saying is that there could have been more roman interaction then just 160 years
@@alexateodor If you didnt read well enough I was saying that even in that time period there might have been some type of roman influence in the area, and even comming from south, and no it wasnt always greek, the Eastern Roman Empire was stil using latin up until aprox 6 century, greek was more dominant in the area of today Greece and Turkey. but in other parts of the balkan vulgar latin was more spoken, and like I said up until around 6th century when starts the age of the great migrations and slavs are one of the grroups introduced in the area, the thig with the name yeah might have been coincidence but there it is. Like explain how that ancient population was able to learn latin at such faster rate, 160 of dominance in Roman Dacia province. Things aren`t so cut and dry. Up there I just made a vary fast vague summarizing, there might have been more?? we dont know since we dont have enough evindence
And I am not greek if you were asking😁
Would romania be considered a successor of Roma?
Just as much as Italy or Spain I guess. We hold the Roman name with pride 🙃
Yes
The only complain I have is that in northwestern Iberia there were not celts, but older indo-europeans called Gallaeci by the romans, they were a bit celtized due to having a celtic conqueror aristocracy, but were different from other actual celtic groups like the Carpetani, Astures or Turduli. Aand by the time of the roman conquest the Tartessos were mostly extinct, with the Turdetani, that were the succesors of the Tartessos but more heavily carthaginized
Thanks for the information! I made a few mistakes on the pre-Roman Iberia section, I'm afraid this project was the first time I'd ever researched pre Roman Iberia, so thanks for the heads up!
If I get to make an IA in Spanish I'll make sure to remake this video for that!
Christmas was not adopted from saturnalia but besides that great video!
My wording there is a bit poor, but Christmas was its own celebration about the birth of Christ, however when brought to the Roman population it was adapted to fit Saturnalia and Saturnalia adapted to fit the birth of Christ. So it's not so much that Christmas came from Saturnalia as Saturnalia was one of the largest influences on Christmas. But hey, as long as you don't tell my Spanish teacher, I won't 😉
You forgot to mention that during Good Friday romanians go for the hardcore black fast, thus, traditionally no meal is eaten until sunset.
*I always wondered how Iberia became Latin If it was ruled by Germaans and arabs for over 1100 years ???* 🤔🤔
Visigoth became christians ( Roman Catholic) in order to rule Iberia in peace.
Mostly every tradition reminded because of that.
The region of Aquitaine is named in France after the aquitainians which are said to be the basque wouldn't it be fair to say that they inhabitted a larger area then that depicted on the map by you?
First, drugs are bad, second, no, third, Basque, it's just terrorists, no one else.
Its absolutely possible, the topic I was given was just to discuss Spain, so France was out of the range of the topic, but if I ever make a video on France I'll be sure to look more into the Aquitainian connection! Thanks for the tip 😁
Not to be THAT guy but iberian people were not nomadic before roman rule, they had been a sedentary agricultural culture for at least 600 years. Cool video tho and its really good for being the first one
Could make one with Portugal and it’s ex colony’s?

Music too loud hurt ear can't hear man talk thank fix my friend love from turkiye 🇹🇷🦃
12:27 "Apă" most certainly is derived from Latin "aqua". Lat. "qu", in certain situations, transforms to "p" in Romanian.
Examples:
"equa" -> "iapă" (Eng. "mare" - female horse)
"quattuor" -> "patru" (Eng. "four" - 4)
By the way, "patru" and "four" are related. At some point in Germanic languages, "four" must have started with a "p", and then, following Grimm's Law, the "p" changed" for an "f". And then Romanian landed on 4 starting with a "p". It's funny how these things turn out!

"Patru" and "four" are related because both these words come from Proto-Indo-European.
Neither descends from the other, rather they have a common ancestor.
A sacrifice for the algorithm gods
We will pray together brother 🙏
Hungarians are actually Huns. Literally they are the Huns! Not Mongols, who come later. Bulgars are Turkic BTW.
I know it was a joke. But I felt must point that out.
andrew tate is not spanish! he's not, right?
He's british
No he's British, I made a mistake because I knew his father spoke Spanish and I remembered that I'd heard that he said he was Spanish but I can't find that anywhere. He's British and his parents were American I believe
Why did you use Phanariot music instead of actual Romanian music? Sucks
Kinda superficial, I would have focused more on theyr foreign policy dynamics, romania Beeing the only Latin country in europe that diddn't pursue a colonial foreign policy through out it's history. And was for the most part a colony itself. And a lot of other more interesting and profound dynamics that set these 2 related countries apart.
"ancestors of todays welsh and irish" why exactly did you ignore all the other celtic nations? Scotland is larger and far more important that Wales.
Time to get a theasuarus sir.

12:42 Wrong. While the Vlacho-Bulgarian Empires DID play a major role in the Christianization of Romanians, the process was begun by the Apostle Andrew himself, who is considered the Patron Saint of Romania and the Protector of Romanians (whom Romanians also called "The Apostle to The Wolves", because he preached to the Dacians).
13:47 That's wrong. The Roman Empire adopted NICENE CHRISTIANITY. Catholicism came to be in 1054 after the Great Schism.
The "Byzantine Empire" did not exist. There only was The Eastern Roman Empire, whose religion was also Nicene Christianity which, post-schism became Orthodoxy.
Search up Old Roman chants [which are pre-schism] and then Orthodox chants. You'll see that they're very much the same and proves my point.
Love Spain btw
It's true, we consider Saint Andrew the origins of Christianity in Romania, but the process by and large was done by the Bulgarians, as we can see in our adoption of Cyrillic in the earlier years.
I did say the later Roman Empire otherwise known as the Byzantine Empire, because the name Byzantine Empire often helps solidify a period in Roman history.
Its true Nicean Christianity was the religion of the Roman Empire as opposed to Arianism, however the church was the Catholic Church, which simply meant the universal church. However the East and West Churches split many times including when the East compromised with Monophosites and when the West added the Filioque.

How did you lose your ability to speak Romanian?
I'm afraid my family moved to Canada when I was young, and they forced me to learn English very quickly so I only spoke English for a few years but some shock therapy by being back in Romania fixed my language somewhat
Romanians and Spanish call the kiddmaker similar...
12:03 is rather dumb and somewhat insulting..
Aound ranty and yes i get that it was a memabke object...
But you showed 4 romance langauges mixing with Russian... To make romanian.
Where Eussian was some sort of Repression of Slavic languages.
Well.. Russian is ironically the keast similar to all other Slavic Languages. Even Ukrainian is more close to Polish than Russian. This is due to Russians being so far east that they were first dominated by very intolerant non slavs and traders, then conquered them and remixed. Plus it takes on some Latin terms as they seen themselves as new Roman Empire...
Meanwhile all other slavs mixed between themselves and with their neighbours.
Thus Polish is way more similar to Ukrainian and South Slavic languages (and vuce Versa)
Than either are to... Russian.
And as Romania doesn't even border Russia and did not have much modeling with Ruasia in its history as a region (until 20th century)...
It nakes little sense to even use Russia as a representation of Slavs and Slavic languages.
It's rather less Slavic and more of it's own thing akin to how English is not really Germanic nor Latin whilst it is bith. Henve Anghliaphere and Anglic becoming a category nowadays.
There are some wrong info here. First, Bulgarians had little to do with Romanians becoming Christians and second. Brad =/= tree, Copac = tree. Bradul is a specific type of tree like pine.
''A continent a part'' Romania & Spain are both in EUROPE!
What he means is that they're on the extremws of the continent
I meant to say they're the furthest points the Empire stretched in Europe because in Asia and Africa the Empire stretched further east and west. Sorry for the confusion lol 😅
Ohhhh sorry you're talking about the end of the video! Sorry, yea I meant that they're on opposite ends of the continent. Its not 100% true because Ukraine and Russia are further east, but it's a poetic ending

It's fine, wanna do a collaboration?
It's amazing how you completly ignore portugal or the tribes loving in the region when one of the main topics of the video is the colonization of iberia😂
I know I wanted to also talk about Portugal but this was a project for my Spanish language and history IB class, so it was just about comparing Spain and my home country. But considering how popular this is, I might do one on Portugal in the future 😁
@@thatstorm_spectreyou absolutely should, your video style is really good, and I think it could shed some light into a country many people don't know that much about
