population[edit]

my mother's family originates from peshkopi and they are macedonians. nowhere is mentioned the ethnicity of the people there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.125.227.140 (talk) 17:36, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There is no data to support that. They probably originate form one of the regions closer to the border, Maqellarë in Diber, Trebisht and Ostren in Bulqize. Anyway the Census is due in October [1] and then we'll see what we are made of. kuxia1 (talk) 22:58, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

yes you're probably right. after expelling the macedonians or renaming their last names, now is will show none. my family is from the city of peshkopeja. their last name is volkanov that later by the greek recipe of assimilation became ujkani. tnx god that we have vita koja, kimet fetahu, ismail bojda, edmond temelko and many more that remember that their grandfathers spoke macedonian. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.125.227.140 (talk) 00:37, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I knew at least one elderly resident of Peshkopi whose family spoke what they called "Gollobordçe" at home, which I understand is a South Slavic language variety very closely related to Macedonian. Kenji Yamada (talk) 03:17, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Undoing two previous edits[edit]

I've reverted the two previous edits, as follows:

Restored the Macedonian form of the name in parenthesis. Peshkopi is a short distance from the Macedonian border, and a language form closely related to Macedonian has historically been and still is spoken by a few small communities in the environs of Peshkopi. For this reason I object to the opinion of the editor who removed the Macedonian form on the grounds that it was irrelevant.
Undid the redirect from Peshkopi to Dibër, Albania. The editor appears to have been under the impression that "Dibër" is an alternative name for Peshkopi. This is incorrect. "Dibër" in Albanian refers to one of four things, none of which is the city of Peshkopi:

The historical cultural region in which Peshkopi is located, encompassing land on both sides of the current Albania-Macedonia border.
The Albanian qark (county) of which Peshkopi is the capital.
The Albanian rreth (district) of which Peshkopi is the capital.
The city known in Macedonian as Debar, historical center of the Dibër region, now part of Macedonia and generally referred to in Albanian on the Albanian side of the border as Dibra e Madhe (Greater Dibër).

Do problematic sources make this an unreliable article?[edit]
