Which Romance language sounds more Slavic?

Eat that:

"THE ROMANIAN LANGUAGE IS THE CLOSEST NEO-LATIN LANGUAGE TO CLASSICAL LATIN!"

Pretty clear, hmmm!

With dedication for all haters of Romania: you all better learn some real facts of true history instead of offend or making speculations and stupid assumptions that have nothing to do with how things happened in reality.
For your information: huns, slavics, gypsies(they were our slaves once) they are all new comers in the region, they are just intruders in this parts. We were here since a long long time ago; Daco-Getians, Thracians, Illyrians together with our neighbors the Greeks!
Stop being so frustrated! Its bad for the heart (and mind)!!

1)The Romanian language is the closest “proximus” Neo-Latin language to Classical Latin. Being the only Romanic language to keep the declensions and the Neuter gender from Classical Latin. Despite many Slavic loanwords, Romanian is still more related to Classical Latin than even Italian (related to Vulgar Latin or Late Latin)

2)The Ancient Romanian (Dacian) is an enigma for many historians…The Romanian language consists of just few Dacian words, some shared with Albanian. There is a theory presenting the Dacian language as a Pre-Latin language related to Latin. For this reason the Dacians understood Latin without a translator.

3)The mystery !; How is possible for Romanian a Latin based language, isolated in Eastern Europe and surrounded only by Slavic languages, to be more Latin than even Italian ? (The place where the Latin language originated from)!!!

Conclusion!…the Dacian Language (Ancient Romanian) included a large number of Pre-Latin words. The process of Dacian Romanization was achieved smoothly and without obstructions in only 160 years of Roman Colonisation.

Franco, do you claim to be civilised?!? I don't think so, if you would be, you woldn't talk like this and even less about a country you obviously don't know anything about, except what the media crap gives you and it seems you swallow it whole! You're just a patetic neo-nazi and a very rude one too! This world does not need more specimens like you, we had enough! Back to the cave with you!

Who is the neo-nazi? You are worried about racial purity like the Nazis. I don't, I simply don't want Romanians, whether they are gypsies or true Daco-Getians (lol) in Spain because they are uncivilised and maffiosi. 90% of Spaniards have the same opinion, they are fed up with the Romanians and other subhumans in Spain from Morocco, South America, etc.

We discussed previously that Romanian does not have the specific Slavic accent in English, but some people were not convinced because it seemed that the people talking in those samples (prime ministers of Russian, Hungary and Romania) did not have the same level of fluency in English.

I have two more samples, this time with athletes with similar levels of English proficiency.

Mariusz Pudzianowski, world strongest man for many years in a row:

and Daniel Ghita, a K-1 champ that KOs people with kicks in the butt :D

Still, Romanian accent in English remains Eastern European because Romanians pronounce all the consonants, an ability lost in Western Europe.

The Polish accent is definitely Slavonic, and it does give hints of Portuguese accent from Portugal. Mariusz Pudzianowski sounded a bit like Jose Mourinho, though Mourinho's resemble closer to a Russian accent with hints of Polish accent.

Dan, I know you can't see hints of Slavonic accent in Portuguese in the previous replies you made. Time to hear it.

Romanian accent has Eastern European nuances, sounds different from a Spanish or Italian accent in English.

Moldavian will have a thicker Slavonic accent.

This is Igor and Gleb. Listen to their speech.

Their accent does sound like Jose Mourinho or Borat.

Hear how Mourinho pronounces his big, fat, dark l which sounds not too far from Russian and not like a typical Romance language.

British parodies of Mourinho has him speaking in a Russian accent with Polish intonation. "Ze nus!"
