Aromanians (Macedo-Romanians or Macedo-Rumans; in Aromanian they call themselves Armãnji, Armin and Rrãmãnji) are a people living throughout the southern Balkans, especially in northern Greece, Albania, the Republic of Macedonia and Bulgaria, and as an emigrant community in Romania (Dobruja). They are the second most populous group of Vlachs, behind modern-day Romanians.
Nominated according to the geographic area, Aromanians are grouped into several \"branches\": \"Pindians\" (Aromanian \"Pindenji\" concentrated in and around the Pindus Mountains of Northern and Central Greece, Western region of Macedonia, and Southern Albania) \"Gramustians\" (Aromanian \"Yrãmushcianji\" from Gramos Mountains, an isolated area in the western most region of the Greek province of Macedonia near the borders with Epirus), \"Muzachiars\" (Aromanian \"Muzachirenji\" from Muzachia) \"Farsherots\" (Aromanian \"Fãrsherotii\" from Pharsala, concentrated in Epirus), \"Moscopolitans\" (Aromanian \"Moscopoleanji\" from the City of Moscopole; once an important urban center of the Balkans). The first three groups call themselves Armãnj, while the Farsherots (with a distinct dialect) call themselves Rrãmãnj. Most are called Vlahi in Greek. Vlachs was a term used in the Medieval Balkans, as an exonym for all the Romanic people of the region, but nowadays, it is commonly used only for the Aromanians and Meglenites, the Romanians being named Vlachs only in historical context (mostly because of Wallachia). The term Vlach has had its form changed into the following languages: Macedonian/Bulgarian: Vlasi, Albanian: Vllehe and Turkish: Ulahlar. Interesting to note that the term Vlach also meant \"bandit\" or \"rebel\" in medieval historiography. Vlach was further a name used by the Ottomans to denote Christians in Bosnia.
