    Albanians were also mentioned in those areas before the Ottoman period:

    In one of Nemanja’s charters giving property to Hilandar, 170 Vlachs are mentioned, located in villages around Prizren. When Dečanski founded his monastery of Dečani in 1330, he referred to ‘villages and katuns of Vlachs and Albanians’ in the area of the white Drin.[9] King Stefan Dečanski granted the Visoki Dečani monastery with pasture land along with Vlach and Albanian katuns around Drim and Lim rivers of whom had to carry salt and provide serf labour for the monastery[10]

    Ujmir is a village in Klina municipality, Kosovo. It is located south of the Klina River.
    In the 1330 Chrysobulls of Dečani, the settlement is recorded as Ujnemir.[3][4][5][6][7][8] During the Colonization of Kosovo 14 Serb and Montenegrin families settled in Ujmir.[9]
    The name of the settlement translates to good water (Albanian: ujë-water, mirë-good).[1][2]

    I actually made a mistake Zizer/Xerxe should possibly be in modern Opoje, Kosovo too:

    Village Zizer/Xerxe : Lazar, Sunbula, Sunbula, Đon (Gjon), Zot, Andreja, Niko, Strej, Kalojor-gi, Mihalj, Đin (Gjin), Progon, Đon (Gjon), Tihosav.
    Here the houses have Albanian names Gjon, Gjin, Progon etc and Christian names.

    Another village from Opoje has two Albanian names and one Christian.

    Ottoman cadastral records indicate that the Opoja region was inhabited by a dominant Albanian majority of mixed Muslim, Orthodox and Catholic faith during the 15th-16th centuries due to the anthroponomy present; additionally, most of the region was islamised by 1571. In the second half of the 15th century, the Ottoman defters of 1571 and 1591 indicated that Opoja had become a territorial administrative division with a dominant Timar system. 18 timars were recorded in the 23 villages of Opoja in 1571, and 13 timars in 1591. At the end of the 16th century, in the Nahiya of Opoja, of the 27 newly-Islamised households spread across 9 villages, 24 had Albanian last names and only 3 had Slavic last names. Of the 37 Christian households spread across 8 villages, 36 had Albanian or Albanian-Slav anthroponomy whereas only 1 had Slavic anthroponomy. Of the 23 field owners of the Nahiya, 18 had Albanian names and 5 had Slavic names

    No, it doesn't even cover most of those areas actually. Most of the villages are in modern Serbia, Montenegro, etc and are villages that are recorded far away from each other, some villages are in Kosovo and Nish but also far away from each other and mostly people who were timar holders, and Albanian names do appear there, even some with Slavic-Albanian names. But regardless, it tells us not much about the demographics of Kosovo.


    All the proper registers we have from 1452, 1480's, 1500's etc show there was a massive Albanian population there. And we can also prove this through scriptures and medieval placenames. This register from 1455 should be removed from wikipedia regarding topics about Kosovo in general.
