Some months ago I posted an Albanian ethnographic map here. Since then, I’ve spent a lot of time doing research and have significantly improved the accuracy of the map. I’ve also added regions in Kosova, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, and Greece. I believe this is the most comprehensive Albanian ethnographic map on the internet.
I’m sure it’s not 100% accurate. Especially the historical regions and Chameria, which don’t have much info available on exact borders. But I think I’m pretty close to the true borders in most cases.
Let me know your thoughts. Reddit has compressed the images, you can find them in better resolution here:
That’s an amazing and extremely valuable research you’ve done. Congratulations to you!

Why did you include a part of Herzegovina? Are there historically Albanians there?

‘Reka e Gjakoves’ is not the term we use.
Reka e Keqe (From Meja to Junik (Excluding Junik)) and Reka e mire(From Junik to Raushiq(excluding raushiq)) is used in those areas.
Also most of us inside and near Bajram Curr refer to those lands as Malesi or Malesia e Gjakives instead of Tropoje.
Morina and Koshare should geographically and culturally be part of Malesia Gjakoves too.
Tropoje and Reka e Gjakoves are exonyms.
Also there is a little Region bordering Dushkaja and Reka e Keqe that is named Lugu i Caragojes.
Nec, Korenice??,Nivokaz, Smolice and Ramoc maybe.
I am not entirely sure
