If the Ottomans only invaded the region in 1389, how does it come to have a 12th century mosque? Balkantropolis 15:11, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The mosque was built in the 17th century for the muslim population of Prilep Agrotqr (talk) 14:13, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Village origins?

The village is older than the 1485 defter I referenced but the summary of the Dečani cyphers I found it in are constructed in a way that makes it seem that the entirety of Kosovo was purely inhabited by Serbs because of the names the tax payers had (which is pseudo-historical since many Albanians had Serbian names because they followed the patriarchate of Peć). Now what I’m wondering is: the name Prilep is only found in Bulgaria and North Macedonia, could the settlement have been established during Bulgarian rule?

Prilep is a botanical name (прилеп) in Bulgarian-east South Slavic. You will find Prilepac in eastern Serbia and Prilep in Macedonia because those who founded them were east South Slavic/Bulgarian-speakers. The equivalent west South Slavic term evolved from Prilijepac, hence there is a Prilipac in central Serbia. Albanian Përlep and Aromanian Parleap evolved in contact with east South Slavic Prilep in the 8th-11th century, hence the positional change. Check how Albanian has come in contact with the name Prilep, Macedonia twice, hence two toponyms one early (Përlep), one late (Prilep).--Maleschreiber (talk) 00:09, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
