I have just lost my entire explanation!
Our direct ancestors were the Dacians (who lived here, they country was called Dacia), who was conquered by Emperor Trajanus at the beginning of the 2nd century AD. The soldiers forming the legions left to defend the new Roman territory stayed behind when they retired and married local women, thus giving birth to our language and people. Approximately 70% of our words are of Latin origin (to be more specific, the "mother" language was the one spoken by the commoners: vulgar/low Latin, which was much simpler). There are few surviving Dacian words in Romanian, but we do know that our ancestors spoke a Thracian language. A couple of centuries after the Roman retreat several Slav nomadic tribes conquered the land and some settled here, adding the remaining 20-30% of our vocabulary (the percentages differ with the specialists and with the policy of the day). In the 19th century we too borrowed profusely from the French, whereas nowadays most neologisms come from English.
