Languages:
The official languages of Kosovo are Albanian and Serbian. Albanian is the majority language spoken by the ethnic Albanian population, while Serbian is the majority language spoken by the ethnic Serbian population. Both languages have equal status and are used in official documents and public communication. However, the use of these languages is often a sensitive issue, and there have been tensions between the Albanian and Serbian communities over language rights. Other minority languages, such as Bosnian and Turkish, are also spoken in Kosovo, but to a lesser extent.Religion:
Islam and Christianity are the two major religions in Kosovo. Islam is the majority religion, with approximately 95% of the ethnic Albanian population identifying as Muslim. Christianity, particularly the Serbian Orthodox Church, is the majority religion of the ethnic Serbian population. Other religious groups, such as Catholics, Protestants, and Jews, are also present in Kosovo but represent a much smaller percentage of the population. The constitution of Kosovo guarantees freedom of religion and prohibits discrimination based on religious beliefs. However, religious tensions have been a source of conflict in the region, particularly between the ethnic Albanian and Serbian populations.Ethnic Groups:
Albanians 92.9%, Bosniaks 1.6%, Serbs 1.5%, Turk 1.1%, Ashkali 0.9%, Egyptian 0.7%, Gorani 0.6%, Romani 0.5%, other/unspecified 0.2% (2011 est.) note: these estimates may under-represent Serb, Romani, and some other ethnic minorities because they are based on the 2011 Kosovo national census, which excluded northern Kosovo (a largely Serb-inhabited region) and was partially boycotted by Serb and Romani communities in southern Kosovo(Download entire table dataset)
