Labuništa
Labuništa ( mk, Лабуништа; sq, Llabunishta) is a village in the municipality of Struga, North Macedonia. Name Labuništa is an old name dating back to the time of the arrival of Slavic peoples to the Balkans. The origins of the name Labuništa are Greco-Latin from the toponym ''Albanopolis''. Pianka Włodzimierz connects the placename Labuništa with a south-western Balkans settlement of antiquity named Albanopolis, a city marked on an ancient map by Roman geographer Ptolemy. Through metathesis the name ''Albanopolis'' entered Slavic where the suffix ''polis'' meaning city became ''išta'' with dual meanings of either being a patronymic or indicating a place. While the form ''Alban'', a name, underwent metathesis and became ''Labun'' in Slavic of which the syllable cluster ''an'' became ''un'' giving the final form as ''Labun(išta)''.

Macedonian Muslims
The Macedonian Muslims ( mk, Македонци-муслимани, Makedonci-muslimani), also known as Muslim Macedonians or ''Torbeši'' ( mk, Торбеши), and in some sources grouped together with Pomaks, are a minority religious group within the community of ethnic Macedonians who are Sunni Muslims (with Sufi influences being widespread among the population). They have been culturally distinct from the majority Orthodox Christian Macedonian community for centuries, and are ethnically and linguistically distinct from the larger Muslim ethnic groups in the greater region of Macedonia: the Albanians, Turks and Romanis. However, some Torbeši also still maintain a strong affiliation with Turkish identity and with Macedonian Turks. The regions inhabited by these Macedonian-speaking Muslims are Debarska Župa, Poreče (Suva Gora), Dolni Drimkol (particularly enclosing the villages of Oktisi and Labuništa), Reka, and Golo Brdo (in Albania).
