The
Aromanians (
Aromanian:
Rrãmãnji,
Armãnji), are a
Latin-speaking ethnic group native to the southern
Balkans; traditionally living in northern and central
Greece,
Albania, the
Republic of Macedonia, and south-western
Bulgaria. Especially in Greece, the term
Vlachs (/
'Vlaçi/) is widespread, but this term is internationally used to encompass all Latin-descended peoples of the Balkans and Tatra Mountains regions, including the modern-day
Romanians. Vlach is a
blanket term covering several modern Latin peoples descending from the Latinized population of the Balkans and Central-Eastern Europe.
