My Reply Rjecina calm down Please read my postings carefully I have never said that Vlahs did not exist Your comments are ludacris and off topic    Zenanarh thanks for the reply I have read the link that you have posted about the term vlah The website is called Gd Bosnia and Bosniaks so i took all of the information describing Serbs with a grain of salt I did enjoy reading the article it  definietly had a lot of information that could be incorporated into the article if there is another source backing it up I have two major concerns Firstly the article concentrates on the Bosnian side Vlahs and not the Croatian side the article is Serbs of Croatia not Serbs of Bosnia Secondly the article concludes with when one hears Russian politicians talking about the need to defend their ancient Slav brothers in Bosnia that the one component of the Bosnian population which has a large and identifiable element of nonSlav ancestry is the Bosnian Serbs I do not know how accurate the article is because of the last statement in my opinion it leans towards the Muslim side Also inside the article there is a mention that Serbian scholars identify the term Vlah with shepards Irrespectively I think the article link was a great contribution  After reading the article the Bosnian Vlahs were settled by Ottomans Conversely Croatian side Vlahs escaped Ottoman prosecution This was a mistake in Serbs of Croatia article which stated that Vlahs were settled by the Ottomans in Croatia
