@WalterBlack - To confuse us with the Romans would be much more fair. The name of Romania comes from Romans as they have conquered Dacia in the beginning of our era. The Romanian language is derived from Latin again because the Romans imposed it here. History says that some of the Roman troups remained here because they married the local Dacian women so it's not something new for the local beauty to be appreciated by the newcomers. We are descendants of the Romans but in no way related to the gypsies
If you ask the average person what the main "Romance" (Latin descended) languages are they'll say French, Italian, Spanish. They usually forget that Romanian is a Romance language.
