Vlach is a cover term for the Eastern Romance varieties spoken south of Romania in the Balkans, most notably Aromanian, together with the smaller Megleno-Romanian. These languages descend from the Latin of the Roman Balkans, the same root as Romanian, and their speakers are known variously as Vlachs or Aromanians. Communities are scattered across Greece, Albania, North Macedonia, Bulgaria, Serbia and Romania, and speaker numbers are uncertain but generally put in the low hundreds of thousands, with Aromanian much the largest variety. Aromanian is usually written in the Latin alphabet. Most speakers are bilingual in the national language of the country they live in, and transmission to younger generations has weakened, so the varieties are considered endangered.
