Does anyone have historical infant mortality rates in Albania? --Vesteinn (talk)14:04, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Since the communism fall in Albania the demography of Albania have change rapidly. Both Albanians, Greeks, Vlach and other ethnic groups in Albania have emigrate to other countries for a better life.
The demographic data from the CIA World Factbook are inaccurate compare to the demography of Albania today. The information needs to be updated.
According to the latest census of the Greek population in Albania (2003) they numbered 66,000, smaller ethnic groups are Slavs and Vlachs.
quoted from Albania, The Bradt Travel Guide by Gloyer, Gillian, chapter Ethnic groups.
According to the census of 1989 the population number on the Greek minority of Albania amount to 59, 000. According to the census the population number on the Macedonian minority of Albanian indicate slightly less than 5000, also the Gypsies are about that much. The Vlach population, and, the Slav population originally from ex-Jugoslavia are estimated at a few thousand.
quoted from www.landguiden.se, Albanien - Befolkning och språk, translated from Swedish to English by me Albanau.
In 1937 the Kingdom of Albania had a population of 1,003,097, of which 92 per cent were Albanians, 4.7 per cent were Greeks and 3.3 per cent were "others". Today about 98 per cent of the population are Albanians, 1.7 per cent are Greeks and the rest are mainly Macedonians, Vlach and Gypsies.
quoted from the book Guide to Economies in Transition, by Ian jeffries, on Albanian population, page 377, chapter continues even on page 378 and 379.
No country in Europe has a more homogeneous population than Albania, where non-Albanians account for only 2 percent of the total population.
quoted from Encyclopædia Britannica, on Albania's Population, Britannica Book of the Year 2005.

I have not denied that some minorities in Albania and the government of Greece and Macedonia have boycotted the last Albanian census. I'm just addressing the issue of the inaccuracy on the demographic data of Albania from the CIA World Factbook.
Encyclopædia Britannica is a acknowledge neutral source that totally disagree with CIA World Factbook regarding the number of ethnic groups in Albania.
Allow me to clerify that the information on the articleDemographics of Albania are taken from a government website that contain patently false or misleading information.
We should act according to policy and adapt and incorporate information from neutral sources insteed of diggin information about other countries in government website.
qouted from the Book; Linguistic Minorities in Central and Eastern Europe
chapter about the Greek minority in Albania
Huge figure used to be only seriously claimed by Greek emigré sources but now appears to be repeated by official sources. --Albanau 9 July 2005 17:11 (UTC)
@Theathenae. It's truly sickening that ppl like you are allowed to have an account.There are aromanian schools in Albania, Greek is a recognized minority language in Albania. But tell me how "minority-friendly" Greece is? In Kosovo, serbo-croatian is an official language. So no, Albanians do not "feel" annoyed by minorities. Looks like ppl from countries where THE ALBANIAN is the minority feel "threatned" and "annoyed". And the need to bash albanians for stuff, where your own goverment is not a single bit better. Get rid of your Albanophobia and stop reading "news" from corrupt internet-portals. It's also sickening that such internet portals are often used as "references". This should be forbidden.LAGTON (talk)23:23, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
since when wikipedia publishes jokes for facts? on the last census there were no minorities left. or even if there were, they could sign their nationality with pencil (easily removable). search google - selishchev slavic toponyms in albania. that's if you want science instead of jokes79.125.195.149 (talk)17:42, 27 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
》"Slavic" typonyms in Albania《 sounds more like a joke.LAGTON (talk)23:11, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
there is no mention on demographic history of albania. there are good sources in ottoman defters.79.126.250.66 (talk)23:09, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Should it not be mentioned that there is a big controversy about 2011 Census and that the numbers are contested by a number of organisations and the Orthodox Church?Vargmali (talk)12:26, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The 2011 census never placed the Albanian majority at 82.58% Every source shows it to be 98+%. The official results of the census 2011, published here:https://eurydice.eacea.ec.europa.eu/national-education-systems/albania/population-demographic-situation-languages-and-religions#:~:text=Population%20increased%20from%201.1%20million,Montenegrin%2C%20Roma%20and%20Egyptian).
Shows that Albanian is 98.1% of the country. No source mentions it being 82%.Ressa14457 (talk)12:09, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
