Polish also started borrowing more and more phrases and grammar structures from Latin as time went on but it wasn't called a "re-latinization" because the language was never a Romance language in the first place. And the same thing happened here. Romanian is not a direct descendant of Latin, it's a direct descendant of the language(s) that ancient Dacians spoke, which were similar to ancient Latin, other Italic languages and ancient Greek. Romans conquered them for a while and it got more Latin influences during that time because it was already quite similar.';

No.

It's kind of hard to explain it at 3 AM but the gist of it is that as much as we know about continental celtic languages they had different phonetics, insular ones show different grammar including word order shift. We have 2 options. The insular celts had a grammatical shift after 200-300 AD but before the 600's, or that the celtic languages were sort of understandable between different celts despite differences in grammar before that period, only then a situation where italic and celtic languages would be sort of understandable for speakers of each(think Old English and Old Norse as an example) anywhere close to the historical times.';

'>>16527458
Nobody cared about that shithole ever basically
Their Slavic admixture is way lower than in Hungarians because even slaves didn't want to migrate there so there was never really a pressure to change languages
Real mystery is how Hungarian language survived when they're 90%+ Slavic today, the same happened in Bulgaria and of course they speak Slavic today';

'>>16527458
Alright
A possible explanation is that Slavic migration and later state building focused on the regions to the South of what is today's Romania, because those were richer and more heavily populated provinces. So that is where the bulk of Slavdom went, while the regions of today's Romania were less significant and acted more as a buffer between the various emerging early medieval states.
So Romance elements in Bulgaria and Yugoslavia were greatly diminished while less Slavic pressure existed in today's Romania. That isn't saying there was no Slav influence, there definitely was all over the region , as there are Slav toponyms in all Romanian regions, and Slav populations were present, but the idea is that the main Slav colonization was in the South and that's where Slavs outnumbered Latins.';

It didn’t ‘survive’. You have it backwards. Medieval Vlach, which was a dialect continuum spanning from Dukla Pass (Goral people formerly spoke a Vlach language) all the way to Greece, was a heavily altered form of Latin and was only spoken by a handful of isolated peoples.

The majority of persons in Wallachia and Bulgaria spoke Bulgarian Slavic language. Romania itself was also home to many, many Cuman, Pecheneg, Turkic Tatar speakers as well. In facr this was the vast majority of romania population. With few Ukrainian or Rusyn Slavs in Moldova or in the north. In Transylvania, there were more Vlachs, but still a minority.

Well, when the principalites were freed from Turkey, they wanted something to justify their independence. So they invented the “Romanian” fake ethnicity. With a complete fake language. They purged Vlach and made it very French and Italian, with many loanwords. They altered the grammar structure. This is the true story of how “Romania” (fake country) was born. In reality, it should have become part of Austria Hungary and Bulgaria.

So “Romanian” did not “survive”, it was artificially spread to become language of people living in the principalities. In the 19th century.';
