Excerpt from Balkan Home-Life
Albania, under Turkish rule, was divided into two vilayets, or provinces, designated by the names of their chief towns, Scutari and Ioannina, the residences of the Ottoman Governors. The former division, which is also called Northern Albania, is inhabited chiefly by the Ghegs and Miridites, and the latter by the Tosks, Khams, and Liaps, all of whom, however, are proud to call themselves by the national name of Schyipetar.
