The Ashkali (Serbian: Ашкалије, romanizedAškalije), otherwise known as Hashkali (Serbian: Хашкалије, romanizedHaškalije) and/or Balkan Egyptians (Serbian: Балкански Египћани, romanizedBalkanski Egipćani; Albanian: Komuniteti i Egjiptianëve të Ballkanit; Macedonian: Ѓупци, romanizedGjupci), are Albanian-speaking Muslim ethnic cultural minorities (recognized communities),[8][9] which mainly inhabit Kosovo and southern Serbia,[8] as well as Albania, Montenegro, and North Macedonia.[10] Prior to the Kosovo War of 1999, the Balkan Egyptians or Ashkali people registered themselves as Albanians.[11] While some Ashkali speak Romani, Egyptians usually do not.[12] The two groups are not clearly delineated. On the other hand, they differ linguistically and culturally from the Roma, even though they have often been grouped together under the acronym RAE.[13]
