The other inhabitants of the Balkan peninsula\u003cbr\u003eare, to the south of the Slavs, the Albanians in the west, the Greeks in\u003cbr\u003ethe centre and south, and the Turks in the south-east, and, to the north,\u003cbr\u003ethe Rumanians. All four of these nationalities are to be found in varying\u003cbr\u003equantities within the limits of the Slav territory roughly outlined above,\u003cbr\u003ebut greater numbers of them are outside it; on the other hand, there are a\u003cbr\u003econsiderable number of Serbs living north of the rivers Save and Danube,\u003cbr\u003ein southern Hungary. Details of the ethnic distribution and boundaries\u003cbr\u003ewill of course be gone into more fully later; meanwhile attention may be\u003cbr\u003ecalled to the significant fact that the name of Macedonia, the heart of\u003cbr\u003ethe Balkan peninsula, has been long used by the French gastronomers to\u003cbr\u003edenote a dish, the principal characteristic of which is that its component\u003cbr\u003eparts are mixed up into quite inextricable confusion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOf the three Slavonic nationalities already mentioned, the two first, the\u003cbr\u003eBulgarians and the Serbo-Croats, occupy a much greater space,\u003cbr\u003egeographically and historically, than the third.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47146357588208,"sku":"2940015715309","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940015715309","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
