Abstract
- The disclosure of numerous words which belong to the military (Dacian-)Roman environment -- 52 semantic specific changes and inherited military Latin words with their classic sense -- grounds the thesis that the Romanian language is the continuation of the military Latin spoken in the north-eastern frontier region of the Roman Empire. These military vestiges particularise the Romanian language in the neolatin area. Thus, the Romanian language becomes scientifically very interesting, from a linguistic and his- torical point of view, because the other frontier regions of the Roman Empire in Europe, Asia and Africa are not today Romances. Also, the conservation in Romanian language of these numerous vestiges of Latin military slang (sermo castrensis) and their absence in Aromanian (Balkan Romanian dialect) proves the continuity of the latinophones in the northern Danubian region by terrible and heroic battles, in order to safeguard their lands and culture, against the attacks of the barbarian tribes. This linguistic fact represents an irrefutable argument against the Roeslerian theory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
