Berisha is a tribe and region of northern Albania. According to the legends a part or the whole tribe descend from Kuči. Berishas were initially Christians, but many of them converted to Islam. Numerous members of Berisha tribe migrated to Kosovo. ==History== The name of Berisha tribe was recorded in 1691 as Berisa. Edith Durham recorded at the beginning of 20th century that members of Berisha and Merturi tribe claimed they were the oldest highlands tribe, which is accepted as accurate. Konstantin Jireček recorded a belief that Beriša tribe descends from Grča, ancestors of Kuči. There are members of Berisha tribe who confirm that Berishas descend from Kuči and that they were Orthodox Christians before, while others claim that only a part of Berishas descend from Kuči. The Berisha and Kuči do not marry each other. The members of the Berisha tribe and the Vušović family from Velika (in Montenegro) believe they are one and the same tribe. According to some stories the Arrnji tribe in Luma is an offshoot of the Berisha. Durham also published an opinion of Franz Nopcsa who stated that Berisha tribe occupied a much bigger territory but were driven from its major part by the Thaci tribe. In 1917 this tribe had population of about 1,700 people. In the 1920s, the whole Berisha tribe under the leadership of Azem Galica revolted against the authorities of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Berisha (tribe)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
