Drenovë (Macedonian: Дреново) is a village in the former Drenovë Municipality of the Korçë County in southeastern Albania. At the 2015 local government reform it became part of the municipality Korçë.[1]
History
According to French cartographer, the village had 660 Greek Orthodox inhabitants in 1878.[2] Later in 1903, Heinrich Gelzer, following a visit to both Drenovë and neighbouring Boboshticë, described the location population as an island of Slavs descending from a larger population prior to the 15th century.[3]
Georgi Traychev wrote in 1911 that the village consisted of 140 households and 678 Bulgarian inhabitants.[4]
Demographics
Drenovë and Boboshticë were the only villages in which the Korča dialect of the Macedonian language was still spoken (as of 1991).[5] A visit to the village in 2005 by linguists from Sofia University found just one elderly Macedonian speaker remaining.[6] The area has an ethnic Albanian majority.
