    So, given that Aromanians are such a small group, it would probably be helpful to give them a short description. They are Vlachs, or a Romance group of people throught the Balkans closely related to Romanians. The two languages are very similar the main difference being that Aromanian is more influenced by Greek and Romanian by Slavic languages.
