IOTL, in the 19th century during the Romanian National Awakening the language was changed and many Slavic, Turkic, Hungarian and also some heavily changed Latin words have been replaced by Italian, Latian and most of all French words. What if this either didn´t happen or happened but Old Church Slavonic, Greek or even Russian were used instead?
If you need a different political situation I think you can use a POD up to the end of the 30 years war. If you really need more room then I guess the end of the Byzantine Empire or even just after the Black Death are options, but don´t go before the Mongols. That time period is a mystery to me.
