  Romanian language information - Search.com
Romanian is a Romance language, belonging to the Italic branch of the Indo-European language family, having much in common with languages such as French, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish.
All the four dialects are offsprings of the Romance language spoken both in the North and South Danube, before the settlement of the Slavonian tribes south of the river - Daco-Romanian in the North, and the other three dialects in the south.
However, the Eastern Romance substratum appears to have been a satem language, while the Paleo-Balkan languages spoken in Northern Greece (Ancient Macedonian language) and Albania (Illyrian language) were most likely centum languages.

  Eastern Romance languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Eastern Romance languages, sometimes known as the Vlach languages, are a group of Romance languages that developed in Southeastern Europe from the local eastern variant of Vulgar Latin.
This group was one of the earliest to be isolated.
The languages that are part of this group have some features that differentiate them from the other Romance languages, notable being the grammatical features shared within the Balkan linguistic union as well as some semantic peculiarities, such as lume ("world") being derived from Latin lumen ("light"), inimă ("heart") being derived from Latin anima ("soul"), etc.

The term "Eastern Europe" first arose in the 19th century and was used to describe an area that was falling behind the rest of Europe economically.
The Republic of Poland (Polish: Rzeczpospolita Polska) is a country located in Central Europe, between Germany to the west, the Czech Republic and Slovakia to the south, Ukraine and Belarus to the east, and the Baltic Sea, Lithuania, and Russia (in the form of the Kaliningrad Oblast exclave) to the north.
The distant second is the Eastern Rite Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, which practices similar Liturgical rite to Eastern Orthodoxy, but is in communion with the Catholic see and recognizes the primacy of the Roman Pope as head of the Church.

An alternative name for Romanian used by linguists to disambiguate with the other Eastern Romance languages is "Daco-Romanian", referring to the area where it is spoken (which corresponds roughly to the onetime Roman province of Dacia).
Even though Romanian has obvious lexical and grammatical similarities with French, Catalan, Spanish or Portuguese, it is not mutually intelligible with them to a practical extent; Romanian speakers will usually need some formal study of basic grammar and vocabulary, before being able to understand even the simplest sentences in those languages (and vice-versa).
Verbs can be put in five moods that are inflected according to the person (indicative, conditional/optative, imperative, subjunctive, and presumptive) and four impersonal moods (infinitive, gerund, supine, and participle).

 Eastern Romance
Theoretically, the division of the Romance languages may be made according to the substratum: Gallic, Iberic, Italian, etc.; the ancient political and geographical division: Gallia, Italy, Raetia; or only on the basis of geography: Balkan Romance or Balkan Latin.
This Romance idiom has neither an ethnic basis (the substratum is Thracian and Illyrian), nor a political one.
This is a very high number, “considerably higher than the number of those absent in any other Romance language, including the Iberian languages, in the extreme west of the Romance territory.” Many of these words belong to certain well-defined semantic spheres, which indicates that they are not lacking from Rumanian by chance.

 closest language to french | Antimoon Forum
Considering that Occitan is the Romance language outside of the Oïl languages and Franco-Provençal with the most contact with the Oïl languages, it wouldn't be surprising that it would be rather French-like, even if it weren't technically genetically as close to French, as, say, the Rhaetian languages and the Gallo-Italian languages.
This ties in with the Celtic substratum theory that the Romans were never able to teach the Gauls to speak Latin in Roman fashion so Modern French is basically a mixture of Latin words and Celtic speech sounds.
Spoken Southern French is more conservative both for a substratum reason (Occitan) as for the fact that French was originally introduced in the South more through books (spelling) than through the actual knowledge of the more evolved spoken Northern French where half the word is swallowed.

 A Bibliography of Maltese (1953-1973)
The putative Punic substratum or the Sicilian superstratum may well be the reason for the changes of Maltese, but until it can be proved, it would be well not to present it as what “no doubt” took place.”
Maltese is a Semitic language with a grammar and a vocabulary which, though essentially Semitic, has a considerable amount of accretions of a Romance origin, which sometimes become naturalized Maltese and sometimes retain their individuality unchanged.
A study of homophones in the Romance element of Maltese is suggested.
