Antonio Bonfini, biographer of Corvinus wrote in the 15th century:
Because
the Romanians are descendants of the Romans, a fact that even today is attested to by their language, a language that, even though they are surrounded by diverse barbarian peoples, could not be destroyed.... Even if all kinds of barbarian attacks flooded over the province of Dacia and the Roman people... we can see that the Roman colonies and legions that had only recently been established could not be annihilated. Drowned in waves of barbarian attacks, they still preserved the Roman language and, so as never to lose it, they fought back so ferociously that one could observe that they were fighting not only to preserve their way of life, but even more so to preserve their language.
