    Sounds like a Greek person with an heavy Greek accent is trying to speak in Romanian.

    Hi again!

    For me too, the Greek influence is apparent.

    It’s like 70% Romanian mixed with something i don’t understand. The accent is pure Romanian. Some words are pronounced like in Eastern Romania/Moldova Region. I don’t hear any foreign accent. He speaks like a local villager.

    Slightly more than half is comprehensible by Romanians.
    It's like: clear Romanian phrase / incomprehensible fragment / clear Romanian / incomprehensible / and so on.

    The accent and sound passes for a rural Romanian-like, but with more fricatives, particularly "ts".

    Cheers.

    I do believe that that "ts" is synonymous with Aromanians (Cincars) in Serbia too.

    God I love Vlachs.
