Balkans are a type of Latakia/English blend. I'm no longer a fan of using "English" to describe Latakia blends after reading up on the history of how the term came about(a true English does not have to have latakia, nor have no topcoat, think Peterson University Flake). Orientals tend to be a bit more vague to me. I generally just think of them as light on the latakia, where the orientals are the star of the blend.
