Vilajet Hrvati?

It kinda makes no sense, it should be Hrvatski vilajet. I might be wrong, but the name just doesn't make sense in Croatian. I can see that it's sourced, but still it just sounds weird... Setxkbmap (talk) 22:04, 26 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Strange indeed, but the Croatian name is a direct translation of the Turkish name. A literal English translation would therefore be "Vilayet Croats", but that doesn't make much sense either, so historians have generally preferred to translate it as "Croatian vilayet".
