Shulin (Albanian: Shulin; Macedonian/Bulgarian: Шулин), formerly known officially as Diellas, is a village southeast of Lake Prespa in the Pustec Municipality which is officially recognised as a Macedonian minority zone[1] located in the Korçë County, Albania.[2] The village is composed of ethnic Macedonians,[3] which form part of the larger Macedonian minority in Albania.[4] According to Bulgarian sources, including research by a Bulgarian scientist from Albania, the local inhabitants are Bulgarians.[5][6]

History[]

In 1939, on behalf of 37 Bulgarian houses in Shulin Goge Lambrov signed a request by the local Bulgarians to the Bulgarian tsaritsa Giovanna requesting her intervention for the protection of the Bulgarian people in Albania - at that time an Italian protectorate.[7]

Demographics[]

In 1900, Vasil Kanchov gathered and compiled statistics on demographics in the area and reported that the village of Chegan was inhabited by about 270 Bulgarian Christians.[8]

According to a survey by in 1911 and 1912, Shulin had 23 houses and 375 Bulgarian residents.[9]

A 2007 estimate put the village population in the range of 600 to 650 people.[10]

In 2013, the village's official name was changed back from "Diellas" to "Shulin", the Macedonian name.[11]

Dialect[]

Although Shulin is located in modern-day Korçë County, the village traditionally belongs to the Lower Prespa region, and therefore its inhabitants speak the Lower Prespa dialect rather than the neighbouring of Macedonian.
