    Apparently Bram Stokers Dracula was of the Vlachs of the Székely variant of Wallachia's and who's love for the worlds most notorius woman serial killer Elizabeth Báthory who drank the blood of her young victims to preserve her youth which drove him to do the same.

    The etymology or the dialect is known as Haţeg, a language that had died about 200 years before Vlad III the Impaler (this is the charachter Bram Stokers' Dracula was based on) so that his victims wouldn't know the fate he was about to bestow on them.

    Ironically, it was the muslims at the time.
