Add article description

In the Byzantine Empire, the term "barbarians" (Greek: βάρβαρος) was used for several non-Greek people. The Byzantines regarded most neighbouring people as barbarians.[1] The Bureau of Barbarians was a department of government dealing with matters relating to these "barbarians".[2] In the Early Middle Ages in Europe, the term was applied to Huns,[3] Goths,[4] Pechenegs,[4] Avars, Slavs,[5] Bulgars,[5] and others.
