Please a little information.

Linguistic research shows that 20% of the Romanian vocabulary is inherited from Latin, 14% are Slavic borrowings (Old Slavic, Bulgarian, Serb, Croatian, Ukrainian, Russian), 2.37% Greek borrowings, 2.17% Hungarian borrowings, 3.7% Turkish, 2.3% Germanic, 38.4% French, 2.4% by borrowings from the classic Latin, 1.7% borrowings from Italian. There are many elements in Romanian whose origin cannot be established precisely.
