Bytyçi (pronounced [bytyci]) or Bytyqi, Bityçi and Bitiçi refers to an Albanian tribe[1] or fis centred in the southeastern Highlands of Gjakova.
[2] The Bytyçi tribe are situated in the southeastern parts of the Highlands of Gjakova, an ethnographic region in north-east Albania and western Kosovo.
Bytyçi tribal territory borders Gashi in the northwest over the Luzha Pass (Albanian: Qafa e Luzhës), Krasniqi in the west and Hasi in the south.
Traditional Bytyçi tribal territory also includes the high mountain pastures of Sylbica, nowadays shared by Kosovo and Albania.
The tribe derives its ancestry from a man called Lekë Bytyçi, who originated from the lower Drin Valley around Koman.
Johann Georg von Hahn noted the presence of two Bytyçi villages in the Llap valley in northwestern Kosovo when he travelled there in 1858.
