	Aromanians - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Romanian and Aromanian sheperds on Mount Larga, in the Carphatians.

	History of Aromanians - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Aromanians can be found in Greece, Bulgaria, Albania and the Republic of Macedonia, while Romanians in Romania, Moldova, Ukraine, Serbia and Hungary.
		Their occupations were mostly trading, shepherding and craftsmanship, but judging from the variety of ancient vocabulary related to agriculture we can assume that in the Roman period they were mostly farmers.
		In the 18th century, as many of the Vlachs became involved in the trade between the Occident and Orient, their main city, Moscopole, became one of the most important and prosperous cities of the Balkans, until it was sacked and pillaged by the Ottomans in 1788.

	NL23_1: Aromanians of Macedonia
		Aromanian activists in Bitola estimate an Aromanian population of between 10,000 and 15,000 in that city, although the 1994 census of Macedonia lists only 8,462 "Vlachs" (a term which in Macedonia is synonymous with Aromanians) in the entire country.
		For Aromanians, Communism was not merely a political program involving the nationalization of major capitalist enterprises; it was a way in which the majorities in the country could eliminate the material basis of their identity and status, regardless of whether this had been built on trade in the towns or on a rural pastoral existence.
		Aromanians who are self-assertive in their "Vlach" identity in Bitola often claim that the suppression of Vlach identity as a policy is often accomplished with the help of others who themselves have Aromanian forebears.

		Aromanians (also called: ´´Arumanians´´ or ´´Macedo-Romanians´´; in Aromanian they call themselves ´´arumÃ¢ni´´, ´´armÃ¢ni´´, ´´rÄƒmÄƒni´´ or ´´aromÃ¢ni´´) are a people living throughout the southern Balkans, especially in northern Greece, Albania, and the Republic of Macedonia, and as an emigrant community in Romania (Dobruja).
		The pressure on Aromanians to assimilate can be traced back to the 18th century, when assimilation efforts were encouraged by the Greek missionary Kosmas Aitolos (1714-1779) who taught that Aromanians should speak Greek because as he said ´´"it´s the language of our Church"´´ and established over 100 Greek schools in northern and western Greece.
		The European Parliamentary Assembly examined a report on the Aromanians in 1997, and adopted a recommendation that the Greek government should do whatever is necessary to respect their culture and facilitate education in Aromanian and its use in schools, churches and the media.

	2001/04/14 18:37 Comparing Aromanian, Bosniak, Macedonian and Roma -Late or Failed-
		The Aromanians (Vlachs) have been able to reconcile the peculiarities of their ethnicity with the national identities in the states where they live, and as a result have never forged a separate Aromanian national consciousness.
		In other words, the Aromanians could speak their own Latin-based language and live their own way of life, yet not feel as if this were in conflict with the culture of the majority.
		Aromanians, Bosniaks, Macedonians and Roma have similar features which have limited the formation of a national identity and national consciousness, such as a tendency to be geographically dispersed and intermixed with other nationalities, the slow development of a national elite, and the lack of international patronage.

	NL27_1: Aromanians in Greece
		The geographical concentration of Aromanians in Greece is in the Pindos mountains, its ridges and the surrounding plains in Epirus, Thessaly and Macedonia, the Vermion mountains and Mount Olympus.
		Aromanians with such experiences usually maintain a strong antipathy towards the Greek policy and preserve, until today (especially in the Balkans and the diaspora), feelings of belonging to an Aromanian minority.
		According to the recommendation, Balkan states with Aromanians populations are encouraged to ratify the European Charter of Regional or Minority Languages and to support the Aromanians in terms of providing education, religious services in the churches, newspapers, magazines, radio and television programmes in Aromanian and support for their cultural associations.

		Besides the separation of some groups (Aromanians, Megleno-Romanians) during the Age of Migration, many other Vlachs could be found all over the Balkans and as far north as Poland and as far west the Czech Republic, and Croatia.
		Linguists believe that the large vocabulary of Latin words related to agriculture shows that there has always been a farming Vlach population, unlike the Albanians, who have many of these words borrowed from Slavic.
		Aromanian culture developed initially as a pastoral culture, later to be greatly influenced by the Byzantine and Greek culture.

		In fact, the maverick figure of D.D. Cosacovici -a generous and tireless benefactor- is relevant enough to emphasize the pro-Aromanian dedication of someone who, born in Metsovo, is rather typical of the -too often ignored- not always necessarily Hellenic habits and inclinations of the people of Metsovo.
		The offensive of the clergy against the use of Aromanian is another chapter, and itself ought to be the dealt with extensively.
