Trebisht (Macedonian: Требишта, Bulgarian: Требище or Требища[1]) is a former municipality in the Dibër County, eastern Albania. At the 2015 local government reform it became a subdivision of the municipality Bulqizë.[2] The population at the 2011 census was 993.[3]

Geography

The village is situated in the geographical area of Gollobordë.

Within the municipality, the village of Trebisht consists of the three neighborhoods of Trebisht-Muçinë, Trebisht-Balaj, and Trebisht-Çelebi.[4][5] (in the local Macedonian dialect - Dunomala, Gurnomala and Unomala[6]). These neighborhoods are divided into smaller ones.

Demographic history

A demographic study published in 1878, reflecting statistics of the male population from 1873, stated that the population of Trébichta consisted of 150 households with 144 Bulgarian Christians and 265 Pomaks.[7]

In the early 20th century, Trebisht was a village with a mixed population of Bulgarian Muslims and Bulgarian Christians, according to Bulgarian geographer Vasil Kanchov's statistics. The Muslim population was prevalent, with 2500 Bulgarian Muslims reported and 70 Bulgarian Christians—97.3% Muslim and 2.7% Christian.[8]

Villages located in the Trebisht administrative unit contain the following populations: Gjinovec and Klenjë are inhabited solely by a Slavic speaking population[4] which contain Torbeš or Muslim Bulgarians.[9][10] Vërnicë is inhabited by an Albanian population that dominates demographically in the village that also contains a significant population of Slavic Speakers[4] Torbeš and Orthodox Macedonians[9] or Bulgarians[10]). The Torbeš and Orthodox Macedonian population of the area are speakers of a south Slavic language[4] (Macedonian[9] or Bulgarian).[11]

The inhabitants of Trebisht are speakers of a south Slavic dialect[4] and the village has traditionally consisted of a mixed Slavic Orthodox Christian (Macedonian or Bulgarian) and Torbeš or Bulgarian Muslim) population.[12][9] Within Macedonian academia, the language spoken has been regarded as Macedonian,[9] while within Bulgarian academia, the dialect of Trebisht is considered as part of the Bulgarian language.[13][11] The local population of the village lack official recognition as a Macedonian minority from the Albanian government.[14] In 2020, an ethnic Macedonian was elected as an administrator of Trebisht.[15]
