AHC: Switch Romania and Bulgaria

With a POD after 681 can you make it so that proto-romanian latin-speaking population remains south of the Danube, preferably coalescing into their own state and identity, while slavic population settles north of Danube in OTL Romania?
As far as I understand both populations were pretty heavily interspersed in the first few centuries after Bulgarian conquest and even the Second Bulgarian Empire claimed to be the state of both vlachs and bulgars.
 

Just a humorous post. Essentially, I switched Romania and Hungary's ethnic rivals (based on being neighbors) and then had a little joke of how the recent British immigrants are largely Romanian and Bulgarian (at least stereotypically). So switching them doesn't change the immigration, for they both will end up in UK. I was being facetious. I'll admit, I have a unique sense of humor ;).

OK sure i thought you were being serious for moment and didn't get it never mind, cheers
 
Well, it really depends which theory you want to go with about the ethnogensis of the Romanians. If the Romanians are the descendants of Latinized Dacians, then you're going to need them to be Slavicized (probably not that difficult, but the Slavs certainly settled in the region, as well as Hungary before the Magyar arrived). Have a Slavic state emerge there and for Slavic to become the dominant culture and language, while the Slavs don't penetrate as far into the region of OTL Bulgaria and so the Latin speaking population remains dominant). If the Romanians are the descendants of Vlachs who moved out of the Balkans and settled the region during the Byzantine Era, have them stay put and Latinize the Bulgars when the Khanate is established, while Slavs settle in the region of OTL Romania.

Does that make sense? For some reason, I feel like I muddled the writing of that.

For the first scenario, was the Latinophone population actually dominant in pre-Slavic Moesia?
