Are Romanians slavs or Latin?

[ЛыSSый]

What's your point? They are mostly slavs who mixed with gypsies and embraced a invented Latin language in XIX century?

let me better share opinion of trackdrivers whom i know.
thet say romanians are like vampires: in daylight they have mosly slavic behavour but when the night falls they want to suck blood steal something.
they say the best way of decision is put something uselless like old slippers or bald tire for romanians may steal it and quench their basic instinct.

Seems very Romance to me, linguistically. Of course heavily shaped by the Slavs in their vicinity, whereas other Romance languages were influenced by the native Celtic and Germanic speakers around the Vulgar Latin speakers. Only Italian is truly evolved from Latin because the native language of the land was, Latin.

Interesting, thanks for sharing with us.

Romanian is closest to Latin out of all the romance languages.

Gramatically, from the neo-latin languages, romanian grammar is closest to latin.
Italian doesn't even have the 4 complete cases...

The same with Ukrainians, the only difference being that you guys want to quench your thirst for dick. It's wise to carry a dildo when you are surrounded by Ukrainians because you never know when their basic instincts come into action and try to express their faggotry.

Nah man. Italian is that. Romanian inflection is due to their Slavic neighbours. And the fact Slavs form plurals by adding an -i also helps in not using the accusative form of Latin for plurals like in all other Romance languages except Italian (Sardinian also forms plurals by adding an -s though, but they retained the Latin 'k' sound as the only Romance language).

yes, Lyssyi admire Romania because of flag colours similarity (the same blue and yellow):

ay, they're just lost souls. if they were a part of russian empire for some time it might be possible to make something good from them, like with theirs big moldavian brothers, or something more or less civiliced, like in bulgaria. but romania was germanian project and now we may see what the shit they did.

You are wrong.

Romanian maintains from CLASSICAL LATIN the synthetic Genitive and Dative (with the help of endings) pattern, while Italian, French and Spanish preferred the construction as it were in the VULGAR LATIN

There are many Latin traces found in phonetics, morphology, syntax, and vocabulary, which have long disappeared from the other Romance languages
DECLENSIONS 3 (three) surviving declension categories for the NOUN,
just as in the case of Classical Latin.


-4 conjugation types, having the same thematic vowels:
Latin "-are", "-ere", "-ere", "-ire"
Romanian "-a", "-ea", "-e", "-i"

-3 personal moods (indicative, subjunctive, imperative) and three non-personal moods (infinitive, gerund, participle).

NEUTER GENDER of nouns kept from CLASSICAL LATIN non-existent in the other Romance languages, marked only in Romanian by the ending "-URI".

PHONETICALY, Romanian kept Latin diphthongs from CLASSICAL LATIN UNLIKE other Romance languages: Classical Latin "au" remained "au" in Romanian:

Endings in “U”. Only Romanian, Sicilian, and Sardinian kept its endings in “U” from Classical Latin, versus “O” in Vulgar Latin and western Romance.

Classical Latin "taurus" (bull) - Romanian "taur" - Spanish "toro"

Coupled with the fact that from the neo-latin languages, from what I know, proto-romanian words were firstly mentioned, you got my point.

so, the romanian plural forms with an "i" or "e" similar, supposedly, with slavic languages but the italian plural which forms with "i" or "e" is ...also slavic? or..?
