Who cares what they are called? They represent the Slavic people. In the same way as "Vikings" represent the Scandinavians who lived between 793-1100. Rus were scandinavians btw, believed to come from an area in Sweden called Roslagen. And on the subject of the Slavs chosen language, they propably could not find a proto-slavic language to use.

At age 13, Vlad III and his brother Radu were held as political prisoners by the ottomans. During those years, he was educated in logic, quran (funny that logic and quran are in the same sentence when talking about muslims) and the turkish language. The first mission were he is represented by Turks is propably a nod and to give his campaign a story.
