Dio,
You haven’t a clue about linguistics. You couldn’t for the life of you explain what “codified language” means or what “codification” is. (Not Bakala.)... Again you are reciting U-catechism.

GOOGLE these terms. “standard language”, “local dialect”. Where on the map do you locate “Vlach language”?

Please explain for us the term and the mechanisms of linguistic “assimilation”. “Assimilation” in linguistics (areal or general) does not mean “absorption”.

Oh yes, don’t forget to give your select bibliography on Vlach history and language when you have time.

Don’t forget to say a prayer to (Serbian) Sveti VLAHO
(= Croatian BLAZ^). His feast day is Feb 3 (Gregorian calendar).

Srdacan pozdrav, Pagliaccio/Bajaco...

There is no standard Vlach language. There is no alphabet for any Vlach whatsoever.

Hopefully you understand.

You're confusing Orthodoxy with Serbian nationality, a typical mistake of Serb propagandists.

Thankfully, you've the common sense to admit you were wrong about the Statuta Valachorum being a "geographical descriptor".

It looks like I'm gonna have to teach you about the Vlachs, but that'll have to wait until I return from Croatia, Serbia, and Montenegro. I'm scheduled to give a lectureon WW2 in all three places.
