Albania Other Erotic

This residual category covers Albanian populations not enumerated in the other composition rows — approximately 1.1% of the population. Includes Aromanian / Vlach (~3,500+, the historic Romance-language pastoral community of the Balkans, descendants of Roman-era Latin-speaking populations that survived the Slavic migrations), Macedonian, Montenegrin, Egyptian / Balkan-Egyptian (a distinct community closely associated with but separate from the Roma — the Balkan Egyptians self-identify as descended from Egyptian Coptic populations though the historical-genealogical evidence is contested), plus other smaller groups.
