The article needs a thorough rewriting according to new research results.

Through genetic analysis of the remains found under the tomb-stones in the Banjani and Drobnjak region, they are by absolute occurrence members of the I-L621 (and R1b Haplogroups) which is the dominant Haplogroup in the bosnian, montenegrin and serbian population today. The I-L621 Haplogroup is archeogeneticaly proven to have developed from the earlier subclade in the region of southeastern and western Poland, which is also by historical evidence the proposed Urheimat of the slavic population. The term "Vlah" in the ottoman defters is a class designation for orthodox believers and pastorals, not an ethnic designation; the other one being "Raya" which is the class designation for orthodox believers of the sedentary population. The designation "Serb" was not known in the ottoman defters, the term "Vlah" was used unanimously. The archeogenetic results further argument the slavic origins of the tombstones, which as obvious were also writen in a slavic and not in a romance language.
