Ostren i Vogël

Ostren i Vogël (Bulgarian: Мало Острени/Malo Ostreni, Macedonian: Мало Острени/Malo Ostreni) is a village in the former Ostren Municipality in Dibër County in northeastern Albania.

Ostren i Vogël (Mali Ostrani) appears in the Ottoman defter of 1467 as a village in the timar of Karaca in the vilayet of Dulgoberda.

The settlement had a total of seven households and the anthroponymy recorded attests to a mixed Albanian-Slavic character, with a slight predominance of Albanian personal names and patronyms (e.g., Kallam son of Gjergji, Nikolla son of Pelgrini).

[2] In an 1878 report, reflecting 1873 statistics, Ostren i Vogël was recorded as having 90 households with 155 Slavic Muslims (Pomaks) and 103 Bulgarian Christians.

[6] Other inhabitants of Ostren i Vogël are speakers of an Eastern South Slavic language,[7] of whom in the village traditionally consist of a mixed Slavic Orthodox Christian (Macedonian) and Muslim (Torbeš) population.
