Shulin (Albanian: Shulin; Macedonian/Bulgarian: Шулин), formerly known officially as Diellas, is a village southeast of Lake Prespa in the Pustec Municipality which is officially recognised as a Macedonian minority zone[1] located in the Korçë County, Albania.
[5] In 2013, the village's official name was changed back from "Diellas" to "Shulin", the Macedonian name.
[6] In 1900, Vasil Kanchov gathered and compiled statistics on demographics in the area and reported that the village of Chegan was inhabited by about 270 Bulgarian Christians.
[7] According to a survey by Georgi Trajčev in 1911 and 1912, Shulin had 23 houses and 375 Bulgarian residents.
[10][11] Although Shulin is located in modern-day Korçë County, the village traditionally belongs to the Lower Prespa region, and therefore its inhabitants speak the Lower Prespa dialect rather than the neighbouring Korča dialect of Macedonian.
