多瑙河下游以北的巨大领土从270年代起至少被哥特人和格皮德人统治了三个世纪，但罗马尼亚语中没有确凿的东日耳曼语支借词。[5]:295[9]:84-85另一方面，斯拉夫语对罗马尼亚语的影响比日耳曼语对法语、意大利语、西班牙语和其他西罗曼语的影响还大。[11]:413尽管“自19世纪以来，不少斯拉夫语借词已经成为了罗马尼亚语再拉丁化进程的牺牲品”，[af]斯拉夫语借词占比仍在15%左右。[10]:239、244斯拉夫语借词占比在房屋[ag]（26.5%）、宗教[ah]（25%）基础的动作和技术[ai]（22.6%）、社会与政治[aj]（22.5%）、农业与植被[ak]（22.5%）等领域，斯拉夫语借词比例尤其高。[10]:239罗马尼亚语约20%的副词、近17%的名词和约14%的动词来自斯拉夫语。[10]:241斯拉夫语借词常常与来自拉丁语的同义词共存，有时会产生语义上的差异。[10]:244例如，继承自拉丁语的timp和斯拉夫语借词vreme都可以指代时间或天气，而现在vreme更常用于气象方面。[10]:241，矮子斯拉夫语的借词往往有情感[al]背景，[9]:91许多情况下代表了积极的[am]词义。[10]:241Günther Reichenkron、Robert A. Hall等许多语言学家认为，斯拉夫语借词的这些特征表明，曾有许多斯拉夫母语者采用罗马尼亚语的双语社区，[9]:92[10]:235但他们的假说没有得到普遍接受。[4]:31
除词汇外，斯拉夫语也对东罗曼语的语音和词法产生了影响，[9]:92-93尽管学者们对其影响程度尚有争议。[8]:137-138某些基础词中，词首e的iota化[ap]（即e前出现一个半元音j）也是罗马尼亚语的特征之一，其起源有争议。[4]:30Peter R. Petrucci认为，这是语言从共通斯拉夫语向东罗曼语发生语言替换的结果，[8]:49-52而Grigore Nandriș则强调“拉丁语e在早期就发生了裂化，在大多数罗曼语中都是如此，不只是罗马尼亚语”。[4]:3011至19的数词明显遵循斯拉夫模式，例如unsprezece“1在10上”、doisprezece“2在10上”、nouăsprezece“9在10上”，这也表明相当数量的斯拉夫语母语者曾说罗马尼亚语。[8]:109-118[9]:92
格里戈雷·乌雷凯（Grigore Ureche）在《Letopisețul Țării Moldovei（摩尔达维亚土地编年史）》（1640年代）中谈到了摩尔达维亚人使用的语言，并认为它是多种语言（拉丁语、法语、希腊语、波兰语、土耳其语、塞尔维亚语等）的混合体，并与邻国的语言相混。[46]但作者声称拉丁语的影响占主导地位，且称还要仔细观察，所有拉丁词都能被摩尔多瓦人理解。
