What is "aromanians"

The Aromanians ( Aromanian: Rrãmãnj, Armãnj) 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.

The Aromanians speak the Aromanian language, a Latin-derived language similar to Romanian, which has many slightly varying dialects of its own. It descends from the Vulgar Latin spoken by the Paleo-Balkan peoples subsequent to their Romanization. It is a mix of domestic and Latin language with additional influences from other surrounding languages of the Balkans, such as Bulgarian, Greek, Macedonian, and Albanian.
