In 2009 and 2011, User:PRODUCER moved it from the singular to the plural without explanation (in the meantime in 2010‎ User:Timbouctou had moved it back without explanation). I've checked Google Books, and the English results seem comparable, although there's a lot of fodder (non-English books wrongly recognized as English). It seems to me that stećak is better because it's less hard to pronounce by native speakers, and other similar articles also use singular - e.g. stele, hilarri, totem pole. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 09:28, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I re-read

Several footnotes refer to a work labelled Lovrenović 2014, but there is only a Lovrenović 2013 in the reference list. Are these references to the 2013 work, or to another work that has been left out of the list?- Andrei (talk) 15:18, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't get it, the monuments are not slavic (?), although the oldest ones are written in slavic language and cyrillic alphabet and made for old-slavic tribal leaders like Grdeša. What kind of bullsh*t is trying to be sold here?! I get that there are fringe authors trying to propagate this or that theory, but it is obvious that the monuments are of slavic origin. For Gods sake, the earliest monuments are obviously made for slavic tribal leaders and lords, written in a slavic language and a slavic alphabet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.82.84.16 (talk) 19:31, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

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.
