Šum ( Macedonian: Шум, Albanian: Shum) is a village in the municipality of Struga, North Macedonia. The settlement is a newer village in the Struga area and has a mosque. [1]
Šum has in its history been attached administratively to the neighboring village of Zagračani resulting in demographic and other data being counted along with that settlement. [1] Past traces of the village name Šum are non-existent and the area only appears in an old map by Jaranov listing it as Dolno (Lower) Zagračani. [1] Due to the close geographical proximity with Zagračani, the village toponyms of Šum are shared with its neighbour. [1] A river flows through the village. [1]
Local Albanian residents of Šum derive the origin of their village's name as stemming from the Albanian word shumë (meaning: a lot, much) from there being a lot of water due to the river. [1] Šum is also located nearby Struga and in between there are remnants of a forest. [1] In Macedonian the word for 'forest' is шума/šuma. [1] The Albanian expression pronounced as shumë is according to Pianka Włodzimierz borrowed in this instance possibly from a local field name from a time when Zagračani was a Macedonian village, becoming the name of the village. [1]
The Tosk dialect of the Albanian language is spoken in Šum. [2] [3]
