Bodrishtë (Albanian definite form: Bodrishta; Greek: Βόδριστα, romanized: Vódrista) is a village in Gjirokastër County, southern Albania.[1] At the 2015 local government reform it became part of the municipality of Dropull.[2] It is inhabited solely by Greeks.[3]

Demographics

[edit]

In the Ottoman tax register of 1520 for the Sanjak of Avlona, Bodrishtë was attested a village in the timar under the authority of Ali, the son of Kasem and Jusuf, the son of Ali, who owned it jointly. The village had a total of 153 households. The anthroponymy attested belonged overwhelmingly to the Albanian onomastic sphere, characterised by personal names such as Bardh, Deda, Gjin, Laluç, Gurmir, Gjon, Kola, Leka and others. The village also had 1 Muslim household, that of Jusuf, son of Ali.[4] According to Ferit Duka, the lack of names ending with -s implies a lack of Greek names.[5] Moreover, according to Schmitt the onomastic material of the tax registers allows other interpretations; in particular various local names such as (using Duka's Albanian transliteration): Miho Papapetro, Jani Makrinudhi, Andria Makrinudhi, Miho Spathari suggest the presence of a Greek speaking population. Schmitt concluded that an ethnic-national division can not be drawn; Duka's categorization does not provide clear divisions. According to him, the only conclusion that can be drawn from such data is that the settlements of Dropull were populated by Orthodox communities. Schmitt argues that only the ethno-national opposition since the late 19th century divided this community into national communities.[6] According to Doris Kyriazis, Duka's argument is wrong because the absence of the final -s does not show a lack of the Greek element, as this was quite typical in Ottoman records on areas that were undoubtedly Greek-speaking. Another discrepancy, according to Kyriazis, was that Duka ignored the etymology of the local topology and the presence of archaic Greek place names that the Slavs had translated into their own language.[5]

The village had 902 inhabitants in 1993, of which all were ethnically Greeks.[3]

Duka, Shekujt osmanë gibt 266–268 eine Analyse der Personennamen, die in osmanischen Steuerregistern für die Region Dropull (um Gjirokastra) im 16. Jahrhundert verzeichnet sind; er gliedert sie in a) albanische Vornamen, b) orthodoxe Taufnamen, c) slawische Vornamen, d) albanische Nachnamen; die Vlachen in Dörfern wie Vodhina und Korshovica sieht er als Gruppe, die mit den Albanern langsam verschmolz. Freilich erlaubt das Namenmaterial auch andere Deutungen; so legen Namen (hier in Dukas albanischer Transkription wiedergegeben) wie Miho Papapetro, Jani Makrinudhi, Andria Makrinudhi, Miho Spathari (im Dorf Bodrishta, 282–283) die Existenz griechischsprachiger Bevölkerung nahe; der griechische Namenseinfluss ist auch bei den Vlachen stark, so im Dorf Sotirë (290): z. B. Mano Kavasili, Polimen Kavasili. Da die von Duka bestimmten amenskategorien in den meisten Dörfern gemischt verkommen und ethnonationale Trennlinien nicht erkennbar sind, spricht man am sinnvollsten von orthodoxen Dorfgemeinschaften; erkennbar abgetrennt wurden von der osmanischen Verwaltung nur vlachische Dörfer. Dropull bildete in der Frühen Neuzeit wie auch noch im 20. Jahrhundert und in Resten in der Gegenwart eine sprachliche gemischte Region mit starkem Einfluss der Orthodoxie; erst der ethnonationale Gegensatz seit dem späten 19. Jahrhundert hat diese Gemeinschaft in nationale Gemeinschaften geteilt. {{cite journal}}: Cite journal requires |journal= (help)
