Katun (Albanian: Katund; Romanian: Cătun; Serbian: Катун) is the name for the form of medieval self-governing community (family, settlement) in the Balkans. It is very similar to a Turkish: cemaât, Arabic: جماعة, romanized: jamaat, lit. 'congregation'. This form of association of people is a consequence of the absence of strong central government, and is observed in documents from the second half of the 14th and 15th centuries. It is often associated with a living style of "Vlachs" (that is, Eastern Romance people) in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro and Serbia, as well as some Albanian and Slavic communities of hill people.

| - Katun (Albanian: Katund; Romanian: Cătun; Serbian: Катун) is the name for the form of medieval self-governing community (family, settlement) in the Balkans. It is very similar to a Turkish: cemaât, Arabic: جماعة, romanized: jamaat, lit. 'congregation'. This form of association of people is a consequence of the absence of strong central government, and is observed in documents from the second half of the 14th and 15th centuries. It is often associated with a living style of "Vlachs" (that is, Eastern Romance people) in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro and Serbia, as well as some Albanian and Slavic communities of hill people. Usually it is described as "mountainous landscape with pastures where people lived temporarily with cattle and where they lived only during the summer in huts". However, this description is more in line with today's distinct form of nomadic pastoralism called transhumance, whereas in the medieval times it had socio-political dimension, and significance in social and state affairs.
