Dinaric

The Dinarics are a people from the Balkans, characterized by broad face and relatively flat skull and stocky build. There is a fair mix of brunettes, blonds and brown-haired individuals in the Dinaric group and their skins are usually rosey to olive. Male members have a robust, or rustic look while the females tend to be more masculine. They share some affinities with the Alpines, Kypchaks[?] and the Iranians[?] and are sometimes indistinguishable from some Anatolians and Caucasus groups. Slavic language speakers constitute the majority of Dinarics while there are also large numbers of Rumanian[?], Albanian and Turkic language speakers. Famous Dinarics include Slobodan Milosevic.
