    Default How does the Romanian language sound to you?

    To me it sounds like a mixture of Spanish, Italian, and something Slavic.

    Yeah, Spanish or Italian with a Slavic/eastern European accent.

    No problems.

    Latin spoken with a slavic accent. For some reason, sometimes portuguese sound like having a similar slavic accent to me.

    Denial: The initial stage: "It can't be happening." Maniot is on top of me.
    Anger: "Why ME? It's not fair?!" (either referring to God, oneself, or Maniot perceived, rightly or wrongly, as "responsible")
    Bargaining: "Just let me stay to post another day Maniot, please."
    Depression: "I'm so sad, why are you picking on me Maniot?"
    Acceptance: "It's going to be OK." There is always Skadi.

    Been there many times. I really cannot pinpoint the sound of the language. The structure is of course clearly Romance, but there's some sinister, ingenious Dracula accent innit (), with some Slavic sounding pronounciation. But then again, some Italians when they speak English also have this accent that sounds somewhat "Slavic" or Eastern European to me.

    Oh wait, but the plum moonshine is excellent.
