What similarities are there between Romanian French Italian Portuguese and Spanish?
All of those languages are part of the same language familiy, the romance languages, all of which can trace their origins in Latin. Romanian has a slight slavic influence because of Romania's eastern European background, which features slavic neighbours, aswell as finno-ugric neighbours (the hungarians). Romanian has loanwords from many of these languages, and also from Turkish, greek, and German. However, non-slavic influences are limited only to vocabulary mostly, and still, most romanian words are of latin origin.
Romanian is probably the lesser known of the big five romance languages, and most people who never heard romanian think it's a slavic language because of it's eastern European position. Romanian is in several ways closer to latin than the other romance languages.
