*****GK: In the first place, we don't really know
whether the linguistic process you refer to must be
exclusive to the postulated Dacian (?) foundation of
Albanian and Romanian, or whether it also existed in
other Palaeo-Balkan languages now extinct which were
mentioned by various authors at the turn to the CE.
And in the second place, it can hardly be denied that
there was a strong "local" (Balkan) component in the
ethnogenesis of the Romanian people, which could well
have left some small traces in the parlance,
influencing the "colonizing" component. This would in
no sense deny that Romanian is fundamentally a
Latin-based language. Two cents worth from a
non-linguist.*****
