Southern Albania
It consists of five counties: Berat, Fier, Gjirokastër, Korçë and Vlorë.[4] Combined, they have a population of 700,000 as of the 2023 census.The southwestern part of the country is rich in petroleum, and natural gas.[7] Four main ethnographic regions traditionally compose Southern Albania: Myzeqeja, Toskëria, Labëria, and Chamëria.[8] In a broader context, Toskëria is sometimes used to describe the whole cultural and linguistic area of southern Albanians (also broadly referred to as Tosks), in duality with Gegëria, which on the other hand is used for that of northern Albanians (also broadly referred to as Ghegs).[9][10] Southern Albania is often called Northern Epirus by modern Greeks.
