  • Desovo, North Macedonia. A town in the south of North Macedonia near Prilep where almost everyone speaks 3 languages: Macedonian, Albanian and Bosnian/Serbian. The reasons why involve geopolitics ranging from the Ottoman era of the 1500s right up through the Turkish-Yugoslav relations of the 1950s.

    This is a story of shifting empires, demographic changes, and mass migration. But as always, it's a human story with real people on the ground, many of whom have a hilarious sense of humor. Join me as I visit Desovo and meet some of its awesome people!

      Na stranu sto se iz konteksta price moze zakljuciti da se radi o Bosnjacima ali fakat mi nije jasno zasto je toliko tesko razlikovatili ili razdvojiti narodnu pripadnost od vjerske tj. ako jednog oslovljavas sa vjerskom, onda i drugog oslovi isto tako odnosno, ako jednog oslovis sa narodnom pripadnoscu, onda i drugog oslovi sa narodnom.

    Hey Ben I have recently found your channel. The content you offer seemed interesting, so I've decided to Subscribe to your channel. Thumbs up!
    I saw that you've visited some villages near Prizren like Planjane,..
    I would recommend you to visit some villages as Globocica, Restelica, Brod, Rapca, Vranista located in Dragas region, south of Prizren. In that area you'll find a people that belong to a unique minority ethnic group called Gorani people that speak Bosnian/Serbian/Macedonian. There are no many youtubers that filmed reportage vlogs in that region.
    Cheers !

      Only in Serbia, if you want you can talk three or four different dialects, "not understandable" to each other. Nevertheless it is the same language. In Croatia too, especially in Croatia. North Macedonia isn't different. It is the same language. In that manor I can speak, write and talk in seven different languages meanwhile never been in any other country then my own. Am I a polyglot? No! Western countries divide the same people using historical events. When you understand this, then do the maths.

    This is so insane. I have watched some of your earlier videos, and now you are in Desovo. My father was born in Desovo, and I have been there numerous times.
    Your historic intro is spot on, and even a lot of people in Desovo do not know why they ended up there when they are natively from Sandzak. How did you hear of Desovo?
    None of the Bosniaks or Macedonians speak Albanian though. But as you experienced, the Albanians speak all three languages. The Bosnian that they speak is with a Sandzak accent which you already mentioned but they also mix some Macedonian words, especially the young people. The Sandzak culture is very strong there and when people get married you will see the Sandzak flag all over. People often say that if you want to experience the real Sandzak you have to come to Macedonia.
    Very impressed with your videos.

    It wasn’t “migration”… it was “ethnic cleansing” of the Albanian Native population. Macedonia was given to Christians by Europe, and was given a green light to depopulate it of the Muslims… so they reached an agreement with Turkey to lure them and give them vast lands in Anatolia (now 5M plus Albanians in Turkey).
    If the Muslim Albanians are now 33% of Macedonia, Orthodox Albanians were forced to identify as Macedonians. Prior to Albanians being exiled to a Turkey, they were at least 2/3… and prior to the Balkan Wars which killed a lot of Albanians, it was upward of 80%…

      Што глупости тропаш? Не знам дали имаш видено стари пописи за региониот Македонија, но јасно се гледа дека барем 51% од населението беше МАКЕДОНСКО. Така, не е можно да се бројат Албанците дотолку. И да додадам, дојденци сте тука во Македонија, не сте домородци. Велејќи го ова, навистина ништо немам против Албанците воопшто, но не можам да ја негирам вистината така. Штом ќе живеете во Македонија, морате да ја почитувате Македонија, затоа што таа ве гледа како син од другс мајка (бидејќи македонскиот народ е синот на Македонија). Сѐ најубаво, брат. 🇲🇰✌🏻

    In some places you have Turkish, albanian and macedonian spoken bu some people and even some of them speak gipsy.
    Bosnian is similar to macedonian.
    My parents who spoke Turkish and learned macedonian locally they spoke serbian later as adults without study or anything. They could understand serbian better than many macedonians.

    It's difficult to believe that there's a place like this in a European country. You always imagine these countries to have a long history, interesting architecture, and stable national roots. But here, it's completely different.

      Are you aware that the name Macedonia has been mentioned multiple times in the bible? Do you know how many times our architecture has been ruined by wars and earthquakes. It was mostly conquered by other nations and that's why there are no stable national roots. Regardless everything, we are macedonians and we love our country.

    Why was that dude carrying Windex with him all the way up the hill? Too funny. Also I understand the self-deprecating humor, and how it helps put people at ease sometimes, but we do study languages in the USA, unless you're really poor and attending a terrible public school. By the time I graduated high school, I had 4 years of German (grades 9-12), 6 years of Spanish (grades 4-9), and even a year of Latin.. so, not all of us are complete morons in the US

      Thanks for your comment! I also thought the windex was hilarious. My point wasn’t that we don’t study other languages, but that we don’t learn them very well. I took Italian for 6 years between high school and college and I couldn’t speak it at all. Most of my friends took Spanish for 4 years and today they can’t even form a sentence, etc. meanwhile, everyone in this town is fluent in 3 languages
