Vampire language in Blade films?

I know it's a fictional, made-up language, but it sounds very Slavic and like an actual language from Eastern Europe. Does any one know if this fictional language was based on Romanian or any other Slavic language being that the legend of vampires originates from Romania?

The actors, especially on Blade 2, sound very convincing speaking this fictional tongue, I almost came to believe it was a real language.

Update:

Ok, I made a small mistake. Romanian is a Romance language and not Slavic, however, it has a heavy influence from Slavic languages, more than any of the other four main ones.

    Go into ancient history, and even Latin words that actually mean something. If you do research on Vampires, and ancient languages you can find out a lot...GL

    City speak is a combination of German, Hungarian, Japanese, Cantonese, French, and English. It's not just one language, but a mashup of those Iisted.

    Romanian is not a Slavic language.
