Foustani ( Greek: Φούστανη; Macedonian: Фуштани, Fuštani) is a village in the municipality Almopia, Pella regional unit, northern Greece. According to the 2021 census, the village has a population of 333 people. [1]
Foustani had 651 inhabitants in 1981. [2] In fieldwork done by Riki Van Boeschoten in late 1993, Foustani was populated by a Greek population descended from Anatolian Greek refugees who arrived during the Greek-Turkish population exchange, and Slavophones. [2] The Macedonian language was spoken in the village by people over 30 in public and private settings. [2] Children understood the language, but mostly did not use it.
