"The oldest known Czech sentences were noted to the foundation charter of the Litoměřice chapter at the beginning of the 13th century:

Pauel dal geʃt ploʃcoucih zemu

Wlah dalgeʃt dolaʃ zemu iʃuiatemu ʃcepanu ʃeduema duʃnicoma bogucea aʃedlatu

in transcription:

Pavel dal jest Ploškovcích zem’u.

Vlach dal jest Dolás zem’u i sv’atému Ščepánu se dvěma dušníkoma Bogučeja a Sedlatu"

in English:

Paul gave a land in Ploškovice/Ploskovice.

Vlach gave a land in Dolany to St.Stephen with two servants, Bogučej and Sedlata.

Vlach vs Valah
I believe the ENGLISH term is Vlach. The Czech term, I can believe is Valah, if you say so. But this should be in English, not in Czech. Dc76\talk 04:32, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

These Vlachs as essentially Romanian-speaking populations
Not that I am a nationalist in the slightest sense, but I noticed there is no mention of any connection with originally Romanian-speaking populations. The broad and general term Vlach is used and it says they came from the Balkans, which may be ultimately true but also a bit misleading, potentially. It's very likely or almost certain that the northern 'Vlachs' in Central European/West Slavic areas like Slovakia or southern Poland (as well as the Istro-Romanians of Croatia) are offshoots of northern and western Romanian populations, around Transylvania and the Carpathian mountain regions (or at least what would become Romanians in the future, when the country was later formed; at the time this may have been part of Hungary or later the Austrian empire). As opposed to southern Vlachs in the main part of the Balkans like Aromanians and Megleno-Romanians, who have a rather different culture, somewhat different language/dialect, and appearance. The clothing styles and music styles are much more oriented or closer to those in the regions of Romania I mentioned.

But the article makes it sound like these Vlachs who gave their name and some cultural influences to Moravian Wallachia just came directly from the Balkans and have little connection to Romanians. It makes sense that those that reached the upper Carpathian regions would've been from or had to pass through areas like Transylvania. As controversial as it may sound, I don't even argue against the possibility that Romanians themselves, or a strong part of them, originally came from Vlachs south of the Danube, but I think there needs to be a bit more clarity here. There is also the Slovak word bryndza, from Romanian brânză, meaning cheese, which is not found in southern Vlach languages.

Of course, it can also be a matter of semantics, and depends what people consider to be the Balkans; strictly geographically speaking, most of Romania is not part of the Balkans proper, but it is often grouped with them in a cultural sense. Also, while it isn't exactly certain when these peoples reached what is now Slovakia (later to be assimilated into the larger Slavic-speaking population), I can admit it may have been before the differentiation of different Vlach groups.Word dewd544 (talk) 19:56, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
