Greek is spoken in Poliçan, Skore, Hllomo, Sopik, Mavrojer and Çatistë and those villages along with Drymades on the Greek side of the border comprise the sub-region of Paleo-Pogoni (Old Pogoni),[5] part of the wider region of Pogoni.

[6] Selckë, part of a wider region of Lunxhëria, is traditionally inhabited by an Orthodox Albanian population[5] as well as later Aromanian migrants, while the rest of the villages belong to the Greek minority zone.

[7] In 15th century Pogon came under Ottoman rule and became part of the Sanjak of Ioannina.

[9] Historically each village of Pogon has its own variation of traditional costumes and dresses.

[10][6] Polyphonic singing, although shared among several ethnic groups, tends to be mostly identified with the Pogoni area.
