change 77% to 86% Wxjq8579 (talk) 19:58, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

In section "Languages", table column "Most spoken language". There is a mathematical mistake in row 3-th. Wrong summation -> 8% Turkish + 4% Romani + 1% other + 1% unspecified = 86% but NOT 77%.

Done. Thanks. Dr.Pinsky (talk) 13:26, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

Balkans → Balkan Peninsula – This is the most accurate name even if Balkans is the most common name since it is a peninsula. I think this is correct but feel free to disagree. It looks like this page is protected from moves though. Jishiboka1 (talk) 02:06, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 17th April 2022

The statement "ca. 60 million (45 million only the peninsula's part)" in the info box is ungrammatical. Suggest change to "ca. 60 million (45 million on the peninsula itself)" 90.241.42.98 (talk) 11:09, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

Balkan

Romania its not Balkan country. It's Carpathians country. It's wrong information like Romania its Balkan country. 62.198.142.37 (talk) 10:27, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
