Islamization of Peja 1582

People in the town became Islamized by 1582 and all the evidence suggests most of the people in this town were Albanians. I have only added the names below and not the neighborhoods for 1582:

Spoiler!

Here for 1485, some Islamization had already occurred

Spoiler!

I did not post all the Christian names for 1485 , some neighborhoods had majority Slavic in 1485 but we know this town was Albanian and Islamised regardless of names used by people. These people were Albanians and is confirmed even by later sources. They switched from Slavic-Christian and some Albanian names to mostly Muslim names as can be seen by these registers. There were also quite some villages outside of the towns with Albanian names, especially Junik-Gjakova-Peja area just south of this town.

Kasapi, Doganxhi, Peci, Dogani, Nalbani etc, names which appear even in 1485, are surnames still used today in that area.

For whom do you create all the endless threads?

None of the Muslim converts in this town are marked as immigrants. They are the same people who just changed names over to Muslim and they were Albanians. And there were villages filled with Albanian names in the 15th-16th century between this town and Prizren. Of course, if you'd ask these Serbian nationalists, the Serbs were genocided and magically replaced by Muslims.

I create these threads to show an Albanian continuity in this territory and the oldest inhabitants of this territory are Albanians and not Serbs. You can even see this from the 15th-16th century . Whoever wants to read the threads and look at these registers themselves can do so, whoever doesn't want to, that is good for you too
