This is what probably would happen if you put one person of each language in a room.  The Portuguese and Spanish speaker would speak to each other more than with anyone else, although a bit more slowly than their normal selves. The Portuguese would understand the Spanish more than the opposite. Both the Portuguese and the Spanish speaker might be tempted to talk with the Italian from time to time so they might get the Italian involved in the conversation as well. The Italian would have an easier time speaking with the Spanish speaker than the Portuguese speaker. The Romanian would try to engage the Italian since he/she would be able to understand him/her more than everyone else but the Italian would be super lost with the Romanian so it would be really difficult. Seeing this, the Romanian would be left all alone, and would eavesdrop on their conversation and understand the Italian and a little bit less the Spanish but would be lost with the Portuguese. The Italian, Spanish and Portuguese would not bother with the Romanian as they can't understand him/her at all. The French might understand some of the Italian's speech and to a much lesser extent, the Spanish but would be completely lost with everyone else as well as all of them with the French speaker. He/she would probably be left all alone without being able to speak to anyone.  The French and the Romanian would look at each other but would not be able to speak to each other much in their own languages. In the end they would all agree on English.
