Ashkali and Balkan Egyptians

The Ashkali (Serbian: Ашкалије / Aškalije), otherwise known as Hashkali (Serbian: Хашкалије / Haškalije) and/or Balkan Egyptians (Serbian: Балкански Египћани / Balkanski Egipćani; Albanian: Komuniteti i Egjiptianëve të Ballkanit; Macedonian: Ѓупци, romanized: Ǵupci), are Albanian and Slavic-speaking and (mainly) Muslim ethnic cultural minorities (recognized communities), which mainly inhabit Kosovo and southern Serbia, as well as Albania, Montenegro, and North Macedonia. Prior to the Kosovo War of 1999, the Balkan Egyptians or Ashkali people registered themselves as Albanians.
