Summary/Abstract: Today we find out that the language spoken in Dacia was a Latin language called “prisca latinitas” or “prisca latina”, the old language used by “viri prisci” “people of the ancestral generations”. They spoke a very old language that was also used in Latium long before the founding of Rome. The researcher Miceal Ledwith, a confidant of Pope John Paul II, an educated person who had access to all the secret documents in the Vatican Library, spoke about this language maybe years ago. The senior diplomat of Vatican stated that classical Latin is the descendant of the ancient language, spoken by the Thracians Dacians, called prisca Latin. A few wax tablets found in the mines of Roia Montană show today that the miners, “Illyrian-Dalmatian pilgrims” of the great Thracian people, and the “natives”, meaning the Dacians, communicated well with the Romans, all using “prisca “ or “vulgar” Latin.
