''Șchei'' (, ''shkei'') was an old Romanian exonym referring to the Bulgarians, especially in Transylvania and northern Wallachia. As a name, it has been preserved in the names of towns colonized in the 14th century by Bulgarians, in toponyms (''Dealu Schiaului'' near Rășinari), hydronyms (''Schiau River'', tributary to the Argeş River), surnames (''Schiau'', ''Șchiau'').Mușlea, ''Șcheii de la Cergău…'' The word is thought to derive from Latin ''sclavis'', a popular designation for the South Slavs (Bulgarians and Serbs in particular) that is still used in Albanian (in the form shkja and various dialectal variants).

Șcheii Brașovului
Șcheii Brașovului (, or more recently ''Obere Vorstadt''; traditional Romanian name: ''Bulgărimea'', colloquially ''Șchei'') is the old ethnically Bulgarian and Romanian neighborhood of Brașov, a city in southeastern Transylvania, Romania. This village-like section of the town is mostly made up of small houses built along narrow roads with gardens and small fields on the slopes of the Tâmpa Mountain. History Until the 17th century, the inhabitants of Șchei were forbidden from owning property inside the city walls. The people living in the Șchei could only enter the town at certain times and had to pay a toll at the Catherine's Gate for the privilege of selling their produce inside the town. Catherine's Gate was the only entrance for the Romanians — they were not allowed to use the other four entrances, such as the Șchei Gate. It was in Șchei that Brașov's first Romanian School was established, next to the Romanian Orthodox church of St. Nicholas. Resea ...

''Shkije'', ''shkje'', ''shqa'', or ''shkla(n)'' is an Albanian ethnonym (exonym) used to denote non-Albanians. Derived from the Latin ethnonym "Sclaveni", it is among the oldest ethnonyms used in the Albanian language. In modern Montenegro, Kosovo, Serbia and Macedonia, ''shkije'', ''shkje'', ''shkavell'' and similar terms acquired a pejorative connotation. From around mid-20th century onwards, to denote Slavs Albanian lexicographers have preferred the Modern Albanian ethnonym ''sllav'', pl. ''sllavë(t)'', which is an internationalism that has penetrated and taken hold in use over time. Name Attestation The ethnonym was firstly documented by the Old Albanian author Pjetër Bogdani in 1685, while the name ''Shkienia'' "Schiavonia" was documented by the Old Albanian author Frang Bardhi in 1635. However, the ethnonym has been used since the earliest contacts of Albanians and South Slavs from around the 6th century CE onwards. Etymology It is derived from the Latin term "Sclaven ...

Wallachia
Wallachia or Walachia (; ; : , : ) is a historical and geographical region of modern-day Romania. It is situated north of the Lower Danube and south of the Southern Carpathians.
