Description: This map, using a wide variety of sources (available in a chart for where they apply), charts the traditional locations of notable linguistic and religious communities in Albania, around the early 20th century. Note that hatched areas imply the presence of multiple groups, but they do not imply parity-- in fact usually there is not parity. Thus this map underrepresents the demographic weight of local majorities -- such as Sunnis in Elbasan who are in a hatched area with Orthodox who they vastly outnumber. Thus in different areas, Sunni Albanians, Bektashi Albanians, Orthodox Albanians, Catholic Albanians, and Orthodox Greeks are likely underrepresented, while smaller groups (Vlachs, Sephardim, Roma) may be overrepresented where they occur. The citation chart for this map is can be found here (currently under construction still). If you do choose to edit this file, please edit this page as well so I know which sources you used. You may also use this page to request edits to the file, by presenting a source and saying where it pertains to, below the chart.
