Serbs, and other Slavic tribes encountered the Romanized population in towns after the settlement in the 7th century. The native population at first avoided the new settlers, but in time the trading and cultural ties developed, so as the mixing and blending of the population. As a result, numerous words at that time entered the Serbian language, directly from the Latin language, like the names of the plants ("bosiljak", "basilicum", basil; "kupus" "composita", cabbage; "lovor", "laurus", laurel; "cer", "cerrus", Turkey oak), everyday objects ("konopac", "canapus", rope; "mramor", "marmor", marble; "sapun", "sapo", soap; "sumpor", "sulphur" sulfur; "ulje", "oleum", oil) and animals ("mazga", "muscus", hinny; "kresta", "crista", crest). The blending of the population occurred at different pace and the Romanized population prevailed the longest in the maritime towns and locations on the Adriatic, some of which kept the original, Roman, names in Slavic rendering: Scodra = Skadar, Ulcinium = Ulcinj, Butua = Budva, Rhizon = Risan, Stagnum = Ston, Dormire = Durmitor, Visitor (from videre, vidi, visum; to see), Leotar (from leo; lion), Narenta = Neretva, Barbana = Bojana, Drinio or Dirnius = Drim, Cnetona = Cetina.
