These claims have to be taken cum grano salis since the Romanians (nee Rumanians) have been trying for years to claim Western heritage, hence the name change years ago.

The fact that their language is based on Latin makes it pretty obvious.

Romanians ARE Western by ethnicity — they are the descendents of Italic and Spanish soldiers who were granted land in Dacia. Trajan slaughtered most Dacians (genocide) and gave the land as grants to his soldiers once they finished their terms. The land remained in Romanian hands despite the entry of the Slavs and the Magyars.
