Abstract
Following the Greek influence in the region, the Roman conquest of the Balkan Peninsula resulted in a gradual Romanization of the local population. The economic relations between North and South of the Danube must have been influenced by this linguistic development. During the imposed cohabitation, the speakers of the host language and those of the guest language may have been able to recognize certain IE lexeme, leading to the linguistic process of ‘contamination’, or ‘merger’ between languages coming from the group of the Indo-Europeans.
