Thrace
Sup /his?
It's my first time on this board. I'm a lone researcher of everything, and I've stumbled upon something that captivated my interest.
I've started researching on Europeans before the Aryan spreading (~5000 BCE), mainly trough linguistic studies and:
>Uralic, Basque and Etruscan languages are not Aryan languages, and they belong to non-Aryan Old Europeans.
>The Oldest Aryan language that can be recorded is Vedic Sanskrit.

Now, my research led me to the fact that the Thracians were Aryans that didn't migrate to much, and settled a little Westward from their starting point, mainly in today's Romania.
Among the Thracians were the Dacians and Getae (Getae were the ancestor of the Goths, today's Nordic people)
The Getae followed the Danube upper course and spread from the East to the West, settling in Northern Italy, Germany, Poland and Scandinavia. With them, came the tradition of Thunder Gods and etc.
The Dacians crossed over the Balkans, crossed the Adriatic, and settled in the Italic Peninsula.
So, what's that all about? Well, there is this hypothesis that:
Romanian is actually the Oldest Aryan language alive in Europe
Yes, this seems a little too much, but the arguments for that are pretty interesting, like Latin came from Old Romanian; Romanian retains elements/root words of Latin, Slavic, Greek, Germanic and Sanskrit languages, etc.

Better than the last one, contains more broad information.
Well, this led me to find that Lithuanian has a lot of this characteristics as well, but I didn't dwell further on that.
So, /his, what's your rant on that? It makes sense? Do you guys have any more information on that? Do you have contradicting information? Any books?
Thanks!
