Summary/Abstract: The Daco‑Roman continuity theory about the origins of the Romanian nation remains a false hypothesis because no Germanic linguistic traces from the 3rd–6th centuries can be detected in the language. The proposed solution for the origins of the Romanians is that they lived in the Balkans in the Migration Period and only in the early medieval period migrated to the north.
