Lažani (Macedonian: Лажани, is a village located in a lowland area[1] in the municipality of Dolneni, Macedonia.

Demographics

[edit]

The village is attested in the 1467/68 Ottoman tax registry (defter) for the Nahiyah of Kırçova. The village had a total of 8 houses, excluding bachelors (mucerred).[2]

In the second half of the 20th century, Lažani was inhabited by a Torbeš population.[3][4][1] During the 1960s, Slavic Muslims from Sandžak, known as Sandžakli settling in Debrešte were not well received by the local population which forced them to move to neighboring villages, mainly to Lažani where their numbers are high.[5] Muslim Albanians from the sub-region of Pešter in Sandžak also settled in Lažani and number 30 households with some families bearing the surname Shkreli.[6] The village in the 21st century has a mixed population consisting of Torbeš, Orthodox Macedonians, Bosniaks (Sandžakli) and Muslim Albanians containing 300 households amidst a population of around 2000 people.[6] Intermarriage between Muslim Albanians and Sandžakli's occurs in the village.[6] Torbeši from Lažani refer to the surrounding Christian population as Makedonci (Macedonians) and those Orthodox Macedonians refer to them as Turci (Turks) due to they being Muslims.[7]

According to the 2021 census, the village had a total of 1.755 inhabitants.[8] Ethnic groups in the village include:[8]
