Summary/Abstract: This paper presents a short history of the problem of ethnicity in the Bosnian banovina during the time of Ban Matej Ninoslav. The "controversial" terms of Srbljin and Vlah were interpreted in historiography by various means. Based on available published sources and literature, the historical context of the subject matter has been reconstructed, and in addition to the present, in a small number of cases, established attitudes have been expressed about the possible approach to the analysis of the problem. In this regard, the importance of the perception of the writer, who wrote high-ranking terms in the charter, the location of the same ones and the general knowledge of the interior of the Balkans, that emphasized the formation of the term Srbljin and Vlah in the context of the Bosnian bane subject, was emphasized.
