Thracians inhabited the ancient provinces of: Dacia, Thracia, Moesia, Macedonia, Odrysia, Illyria, Scythia, Sarmatia, Bithynia, Mysia, Pannonia, and other regions on the Balkans and Anatolia (Eastern, Central and Southern part of the Balkan peninsula, as well as Eastern Europe). Today, these regions correspond to Romania, Moldova, Western Ukraine, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Hungary, Slovakia, Slovenia, Eastern Austria, Eastern Czech Republic, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Albania, Greece, and Western Turkey.

Thracian tribes: Akrokomai, Agathyrsi, Agriani, Apsinthi, Asti, Bastarni, Beni, Bessi, Bisaltae, Bistoni, Bithyni, Brigi, Brizi, Carpi, Celti, Daci, Dardani, Denteleti, Dengeri, Deroni, Derzai, Dii, Diobesi, Dolonci, Drozi, Edoni, Eleti, Eneti, Getae, Gauli, Hipsalti, Illyri, Iskiten, Ismari, Kaeleti, Kaeni, Kabileti, Kabiri, Karbilezi, Kari, Kaukauni, Kikoni, Koilaleti, Koreli, Korpiali, Krestoni, Krobyzoi, Laiai, Liki, Maduateni, Maioni, Medi, Melanditi, Migdoni, Mizi, Moesi, Nipsai, Odrysi, Odomanti, Paioni, Paiti, Paphlagoni, Pelasgi, Peukini, Phragondi, Phrygi, Prianti, Pirogeri, Pieri, Sabii, Samai, Sapai, Satri, Scordisci, Scythi, Seleti, Serdi, Sigini, Synthi, Terici, Thraci, Thunatae, Thyni, Tranipsi, Tauresi, Treri, Triballi, Trilatai, Tyrageti, Uekri, Usdicezi.

Today, the thracians are called Vlachs (Romanians and Aromanians). The term "Vlach" is originally an exonym. All the Vlach groups used various words derived from to refer to themselves: Români, Rumâni, Rumâri, Aromâni, Arumâni, Armâni, etc. Vlachs descend predominantly from the Romanised Dacians, Getae, Moesi, Thracians and Illyrians.

Vlachs (also called Vallachians, Wallachians, Wlachs, Wallachs, Olahs or Ulahs, Greek: Βλάχοι Vláhi) is a blanket term covering several modern Latin peoples (linguistic) descending from the Latinised population in Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe. Groups that have historically been called Vlachs include: modern-day Romanians (including Moldovans), Aromanians, Morlachs, Megleno-Romanians and Istro-Romanians. Since the creation of the Romanian state, the term in English has mostly been used for those living outside Romania.

Besides the separation of some groups (Aromanians, Megleno-Romanians) during the Age of Migration, many other Vlachs could be found all over the Balkans, as far north as Poland and as far west as the territory Moravia (part of modern Czech Republic), and as far south as the present-day Greece. They reached these regions in search of better pastures, and were called "Wallachians" (Vlasi; Valaši) by the Slavic peoples.

    Latin Say

  • Thracians were an Illyrian tribe!

  • The guy speaking is annoying as fuck. Trying to sound mysterious.

  • The earliest surviving language still spoken by Thracians is Romanian. So if you feel thracian maybe you should all learn Romanian since the original thracian language was lost and the slavic languages formed 600 years after the last Roman conquest of Thracian land. Let's just form one big country in Eastern Europe and the Balkns - Romania !!!

    1. Dacian culture was never destroyed. Culture , traditions , art and language (SOME WORDS still used by romanians) are still alive and by the way .. the romans conqured only 15% of Dacia ..

    2 .Bucuresti = the name of RO's capital comes from ''shepherd Bucur''
