Are Romanians slavs or Latin?

[Laberia]

I am curious, Romanians are slav or Latin? I mean from a linguistic point of view, because as a nation Romanians are heavily mixed.

You not very smart.

Both Slav and Latin is linguistic... so therefore they are Latin.

French, Italian and English words[edit]
Since the 19th century, many literary or learned words were borrowed from the other Romance languages, especially from French and Italian (for example: birou "desk, office", avion "airplane", exploata "exploit"). It was estimated that about 38% of words in Romanian are of French and/or Italian origin (in many cases both languages); and adding this to Romanian's native stock, about 75%–85% of Romanian words can be traced to Latin. The use of these Romanianized French and Italian learned loans has tended to increase at the expense of Slavic loanwords, many of which have become rare or fallen out of use. As second or third languages, French and Italian themselves are better known in Romania than in Romania's neighbors. Along with the switch to the Latin alphabet in Moldova, the re-latinization of the vocabulary has tended to reinforce the Latin character of the language.

Basically is a reinvented language during the XIX century.
