Summary

Description

Беларуская (тарашкевіца): Мапа асноўных вараскіх гандлёвых шляхоў: Валжанскі (чырвоным) і шлях з варагаў у грэкі (філётавым). Аранжавым колерам паказаныя іншыя гандлёвыя шляхі VIII—XI стагодзьдзяў. Існуе дзьве вэрсіі крынічнай мапы: адна адпавядае вугорскай гістарыяграфіі, якая лічыць, што валахі зьніклі на тысячагадовы пэрыяд між 275 і 1300 рокамі; другая адпавядае румынскай гістарыяграфіі, якія гэтага не прымаюць.

Deutsch: Karte mit der wichtigsten Handelsrouten Waräger (Wolga-Handelsroute in Rot, de:Handelsroute von den Warägern zu den Griechen in Lila). Die anderen Straßen (8.–11. Jahrhundert) sind in Orange gehalten. Die Basiskarte existiert in zwei Versionen: eine im Einklang mit der ungarischen Geschichtsschreibung, die behauptet, dass die Sprecher der ostromanischen Sprachen für tausend Jahre zwischen 275 und 1300 verschwunden seien, eine andere im Einklang mit der rumänischen Geschichtsschreibung, die behauptet, dass sie nicht verschwunden seien.

English: Map showing the major Varangian trade routes, the Volga trade route (in red) and the Trade Route from the Varangians to the Greeks (in purple). Other trade routes of the 8th–11th centuries shown in orange. Background exist in two versions : one according with Hungarian historians who think that speakers of Eastern Romance languages vanished for a thousand years between 275 and 1300, another according with Romanian historians who think that they don't vanished.

Français : Carte montrant les principales routes commerciales varègues (Route commerciale de la Volga en rouge, Route commerciale des Varègues aux Grecs en violet). Les autres routes (8°-11° siècle) sont en orange. Le fond de carte existe en deux versions : l'une conforme à l'historiographie hongroise qui affirme que les locuteurs des langues romanes orientales ont disparu pendant mille ans entre 275 et 1300, une autre conforme à l'historiographie roumaine qui affirme qu'ils n'ont pas disparu.

Русский: Основные : (красный) и (фиолетовый). Оранжевым цветом показаны другие торговые пути VIII–XI веков. Базовая карта существует в двух версиях: одна соответствует венгерской историографии, в которой говорится, что Волохи исчезли на тысячу лет между 275 и 1300 годами, другая соответствует румынской историографии, которая утверждает, что они не исчезли.

Byzantine sources mentioned Vlachs all deep in the Balcan. Also map should make by academic historians not by personal POV.
