Tetovo is not Albanian

[poiuytrewq0987]

Tetovo (Хтѣтово) is related to the Slavic "hteti" meaning: wanting, wanted[citation needed]. The initial /h/ was regularly lost in Macedonian. The Albanian variant is a direct adaptation of the original Slavic name (see -ovo/-evo).

It's majority Albanian nowadays.

There's Slavic toponyms as far as southern Greece.

What about Skopje?
Tetovo is new place that founded from othoman era.

That's because Slavic tribes used to lived all the way to the Peloponnese before they got Hellenized. However, that's not the topic of discussion today, flinty. But rather Tetovo and other cities in the area are all lacking Albanian toponyms but are bursting with Slavic toponyms. This can only mean one thing, Albanians are recent settlers to the area. :coffee:

It's majority Albanian nowadays.

Yes,full of Berberids and Anatolids unfortunately.

[Sturmgewehr]

Sure, 90% of the population is Albanian, u can keep clinging to the name.

Well and so your capital is Serbian.
Skopia is Serbia:rolleyes:

Its name is derived from a nearby town founded by Romans. Even the Albanian variation Shkup is derived from Scupi. :coffee:

Nope, the city Tetovo existed way before the 1400s.


At the end of the 14th century, Tetovo, with the rest of Macedonia, fell under the rule of the Ottoman Empire. According to the official Ottoman statistics of Nahiya Tetovo, in 1452 there were 146 Christian households and 60 Muslim, 1453 the population consists of 153 Christian and 56 Muslim families,[6] and in 1468 - 180 Christian and 41 Muslim families,[7] in 1545 there were 99 Christian and 101 Muslim families (38 were islamicised), in 1568 there were 108 Christian and 329 Muslim (184 islamicised).

Well the term "Tetovo" certainly isn't Macedonian.

;)

The term Tetovë supposedly also has an Albanian meaning.


The name of the city of Tetovo (Tetovë in Albanian) is explained by the Albanians as tetë hovë, “eight assaults”, referring to the eight battles that the national hero Skënderbe fought against the Turks on that site.

Personally I think the name "Tetovo" is of Slavic origin. But it's an Albanian dominated city. Sorry makoslavbrah
