A study on the romanian lexicon showed that the influence of Old Slavic language remained somewhere to 14%,when the romanic origin,with the inheritance of romanian words with the romanic origin,like Dumnedzeu - Domine Deus,not Bog as slavs pronounce,or biserica - basilica,sfant - sanctus along with the borrowings from French and some scientific terms,made 78% of our current language. In my opinion the Old Slavonic had a greater influence in the Middle Ages,because it was the official language in the Church and we served the liturgy in it.,but after centuries we turned ourselves to the West,and started to borrow French words as neologisms,that kinda refreshed the Romanic words in our lexicon. Hope it helped ya,cheers! :)
