Tašmaruništa
Tašmaruništa ( mk, Ташмаруништа) is a village in the municipality of Struga, North Macedonia. Name The placename ''Tašmaruništa'' is a hybrid toponym formed from two terms, the Turkish word ''Taş'' meaning stone or rock alongside the Slavic ''Moruništa'', which itself is formed from the word ''Morun'' and the suffix ''išta''. Within an older map done by the village is recorded as ''Moroništa'' and Pianka Włodzimierz notes that it would not be inconceivable that the sound ''u'' has been substituted for ''o''. Regarding the term ''Morun'', Włodzimierz proposes that it could be from the word ''Moruna'', a term for sturgeon fish (''Acipenser huso'') or from ''Morun'', a personal name stemming from the Greco-Latin ''Maron'', and similar to the name ''Marin''. Of the second context, Włodzimierz contends it could have served as patronymic name as in the nearby toponym '' Labuništa'' - ''Albanopolis'' alongside the structural function and transformation of the ...

Mali Vlaj
Mali Vlaj ( mk, Мали Влај) is a village in the municipality of Struga, North Macedonia. Name The toponym is first recorded as a plural in the name ''Frougovi Vlasi''. The form ''Vlaj'' is an old accusative occurring as a plural in ''Vlahy''> ''Vlahi''> ''Vlai''> ''Vlaj'' and these forms stemmed from ''Vla(s)hci'' meaning residents from the village ''Vlas(c)i''. The ''c'' sound in Vlahci was assimilated over time becoming ''Vlaj'' and the toponym is related to Vlachs. With the loss of the grammatical case in Macedonian, the toponym ''Vlaj'' was no longer understood in the plural, instead in the singular. The adjective ''Мали/Mali'' meaning "small" contained in the names of some villages is usually used if there is an opposition to a larger settlement with the word ''Голем/Golem'' meaning "big" or in toponyms without an additive. Nearby there is no appropriate toponym with the adjective "large" in modern times, yet it is possible that this settlement is in oppositi ...

Macedonians (ethnic Group)
Macedonians ( mk, Македонци, Makedonci) are a nation and a South Slavic ethnic group native to the region of Macedonia in Southeast Europe. They speak Macedonian, a South Slavic language. The large majority of Macedonians identify as Eastern Orthodox Christians, who speak a South Slavic language, and share a cultural and historical "Orthodox Byzantine–Slavic heritage" with their neighbours. About two-thirds of all ethnic Macedonians live in North Macedonia and there are also communities in a number of other countries. The concept of a Macedonian ethnicity, distinct from their Orthodox Balkan neighbours, is seen to be a comparatively newly emergent one. The earliest manifestations of an incipient Macedonian identity emerged during the second half of the 19th century among limited circles of Slavic-speaking intellectuals, predominantly outside the region of Macedonia. They arose after the First World War and especially during 1930s, and thus were consolidated by ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Struga ( mk, Струга , sq, Strugë) is a town and popular tourist destination situated in the south-western region of North Macedonia, lying on the shore of Lake Ohrid. The town of Struga is the seat of Struga Municipality. Name The name Struga was first mentioned in the 11th century. It is of Slavic origin. and means a "river bed". The ancient name of the city is Enchalon (Εγχαλών), the ancient Greek word for eel, which may be related to the Illyrian Enchele tribe that was known to live in the region. According to E. Hamp, a connection with Albanian ’ngjalë’ makes it possible that the name Enchele was derived from the Illyrian term for eels, which may have been anciently related to Greek and simply adjusted to the Greek pronunciation. In Polybius the word 'Enchele' is written with a voiceless aspirate ''kh'', ''Enchelanes'', while in Mnaseas it was replaced with a voiced ''ng'', ''Engelanes'', the latter being a typical feature of the Ancient Macedon ...

Name Labuništa is an old name dating back to the time of the arrival of Slavic peoples to the Balkans. The origins of the name Labuništa are Greco-Latin from the toponym ''Albanopolis''.

The earliest sturgeon fossils date to the Late Cretaceous, and are descended from other, earlier Acipenseriformes, acipenseriform fish, which date back to the Early Jurassic period, some 174 to 201 million years ago. They are one of two living families of the Acipenseriformes alongside paddlefish (Polyodontidae). The family is grouped into four genera: ''Acipenser'' (which is paraphyletic, containing many distantly related sturgeon species), ''Huso'', ''Scaphirhynchus,'' and ''Pseudoscaphirhynchus''. Two species (''Adriatic sturgeon, A. naccarii'' and ''Dabry's sturgeon, A. dabryanus'') may be extinct in the wild, and one (''Syr Darya sturgeon, P. fedtschenkoi'') may be entirely extinct. Sturgeons are native to subtropical, temperate and sub-Arctic rivers, lakes and coastlines of Eurasia and North America.

Village
A village is a clustered human settlement or community, larger than a hamlet but smaller than a town (although the word is often used to describe both hamlets and smaller towns), with a population typically ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand. Though villages are often located in rural areas, the term urban village is also applied to certain urban neighborhoods. Villages are normally permanent, with fixed dwellings; however, transient villages can occur. Further, the dwellings of a village are fairly close to one another, not scattered broadly over the landscape, as a dispersed settlement. In the past, villages were a usual form of community for societies that practice subsistence agriculture, and also for some non-agricultural societies. In Great Britain, a hamlet earned the right to be called a village when it built a church. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
