Name of city is not Pristina, but is Prishtina in English language because Prishtina is also in albanian language. Kosovo is a independent state and its not in Yugoslavia or Serbia. Please upgrade name of Prishtina city Beratademajj1997 ( talk) 15:12, 26 October 2018 (UTC)

Prishtina is a far more suitable name for the article than "Pristina" as it is both reflective of Albanian (The official Language of independent Kosovo) and English orthography. The name "Pristina" in when pronounced in English doesn't even reflect the pronunciation of the Serbian "Priština" on which it is based. Prishtina would be consistent with the orthography of the language of the article (English) and the official language of the country in which the city is located and the first language of the vast majority of its inhbitants (Albanian), "Pristina" is an inaccurate relic of the Yugoslav era.

"In 1966, Pristina had few paved roads, the old town houses had running water and cholera was still a problem".
This sentence appears inconsequential. Did the author mean to say "the old town houses LACKED running water"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Frotronic ( talk • contribs) 02:50, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
The sentence:
"It is predominantly populated by Albanian-speaking peoples, constituting the second-largest capital city in Europe, after Tirana"
is unclear; Pristina isn't "the second-largest capital city in Europe", it has the second highest population of Albanian-speaking people.
Perhaps instead:
"It is predominantly populated by Albanian-speaking peoples, of which it has the second-largest population in Europe, after Tirana" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.160.167.131 ( talk) 22:26, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
Municipality of Prishtina when they refer to the city in English they refer to as Prishtina. Even on the municipality building it is spelled as "Municipality of Prishtina" in English version. This is not a typo. The reason Americans spell Pristina is because the got it from Serbian spelling "Priština" but the letter "š" is replaced with simple "s". However, even the serbian version Priština, sounds exactly the same as in Albanian because the letter "š" actually sounds like "sh". So why keep saying it wrong as Pristina when in fact everyone calls it with Prishtina.
Here's a photo of the building and see how then introduce themselves in English:
It would be wise to change Pristina -> Prishtina everywhere in the English language.

@AmanuensisBalkanicus Can you please explain why you are targeting Kosovo related pages and removing sources from Albanian authors, this seems to be WP:IDONTLIKEIT. Surix321 ( talk) 15:20, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
In the 15th century the toponym Arnaut was recorded in the town ,which implies an Albanian presence.. AB claims that this is WP:FRINGE. The next sentence is that
In 1455 Pristina had a significant Muslim Albanian population.. The source is Magdearu (2008). What does Rexha (2016) propose which isn't already accepted by other sources and written in the article?-- Maleschreiber ( talk) 17:28, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

I have removed the text added on the 16 January 2023 for two reasons. One, the content is not related to the city of Pristina at all. Two, the text is touching on the subject of the origin of Albanians, a subject that is well covered on its own Wikipedia page (see: Origin of the Albanians). Its presence in the lead of this article without any discussion in the article is POV pushing. ElderZamzam ( talk) 04:49, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
Evening @ HoneymoonAve27, I wanted to discuss the issue about our recent edits.
I've already explained why I removed the quotes:
- obsolete, low quality and not reliable sources.
You do not have to answer to this if you want me to revert your edits without further discussing. AlexBachmann ( talk) 19:37, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
I will remove the parts that we've been conflicting on on grounds of age matters and lack of reliablity. AlexBachmann ( talk) 13:21, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
We can also use the second source and write "according to Serbian sources" because it does not fall under age matters. AlexBachmann ( talk) 01:59, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
Under Dušan’s reign Kosovo became the central part of the Serbian state. When investigating the political sphere, it can be stated, that the political centre was moved from Raš to Priština, then to Prizren, eventually to Skopje.-- Maleschreiber ( talk) 11:17, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
@ AlexBachmann: Greeting. A note when mentioning Kosovo as a country is always added to the infobox and the article itself (which you already know, but okay). This has already been discussed before when determining the use of this note. This applies whether it is a city, a lake, a mountain or anything related to Kosovo/Kosovo and Metohija ( 1, 2). Once again, I would like to take the opportunity to ask you to turn more towards neutrality. — Ruach Chayim ( talk) 12:24, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
Greeting. I came up with the idea of standardizing the text of the articles on Kosovo ( and Metohija) with that of the articles on Northern Cyprus, Transnistria and other "states" that are not members of the UN. So, as in the article of North Nicosia, I think that Kosovo should be added to the infobox as a de facto state and Serbia as de jure. This could also remove the note that explains the political situation in which Kosovo (and Metohija) are. — Ruach Chayim ( talk) 15:04, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

On the pictures to the right when you enter the page the Sahat kulla is mistaken from Mother Theresa Cathedral. (the picture shows Sahatkulla but what you wrote says Cathedral of Saint Mother Theresa) Jonitooo ( talk) 13:40, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
In the text, it's said that Pristina is the capital and largest city of Kosovo, it's right that it's the capital, but it's the second biggest city of Kosovo, after Podujevo, Podujevo coming with 633km2, while Pristina has 572km2, but you can say that by population Pristina is higher.

@
Ktrimi991 Concerning your revert with "Eric Hamp is a linguistic source of the highest quality, way more recognized and cited than all other sources of the section combined"
: The reason why the Slavic theory goes first is because it is supported way more. Judging by the sources, the Proto-Slavic/Serbian etymology is supported by five sources. How many sources back the Proto-Albanian theory by Hamp? None. Your personal opinion of Hamp, and your alleged "over-qualification" of his work compared to others, is backed by no RS.

Hamp’s sharp eyes dissected even phonetic evolution of certain Albanian place-names which went hand-to-hand with the complex historical processes that underwent carriers of Albanian. Being himself an ardent neogrammarian, Hamp inferred peculiar phenomena as an outcome of the specific development of place-names: of major importance is his new etymology regarding Prishtinë, attested ever since, which he acknowledged as a derivative of *pṛ-tu-, harking back to the Indo-European root *per- ,,passage, through”, cognate with Lat. portus and Eng. ford, while for the second element he surmised *stein-, a cognate with English ‘stone’, thus most likely a motivated name for a place between rivers. Moreover, vocalization ṛ > ri, which is notably Albanian, warrants that proto-Albanian has been spoken in Dardania before Trajan commenced to spread Latinization through Dacia. Je praises Hamp's etymology of Pristina. Ktrimi991 ( talk) 20:04, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
Pristina seems to have been a small village before the late 15th century. ... The first mosque in Pristina was built in the late 14th century while under Serbian rule.
The second claim seems highly improbable in light of the first. Srnec ( talk) 20:05, 7 September 2023 (UTC)

Sources indicate Prishtina was mostly inhabited by Muslim Albanians in the 17th century as the people became Islamised in the town as shown by 16th century registers too, and I QUOTE FROM THE SOURCE:
The first large town reached by Piccolomini was Prishtina, which had a mostly Muslim population of 3,000 households (roughly 15,000 people); many of these had apparently fled, but one early account states that ‘in Prishtina 5,000 Arnauts, having thrown off the Turks', and many leaders of the surrounding places...swore fealty to the Emperor?* Who were these ‘Arnauts’? Although this word is normally treated simply as a synonym for ‘Albanians, there are (as we shall see) some doubts as to how such apparently ‘ethnic labels were used by West European writers at this time. 'However, the fact that this writer clearly contrasts these ‘Arnauts’ in Prishtina with the people of the ‘surrounding places’ suggests that they were inhabitants of the town—in which case they were mostly Muslims, probably Albanian' but very possibly including some Slavs.
- Arnaut was a word for Albanian. I don't think it refers to Orthodox Slavs . Part of Eastern Kosovo were possibly majority Slavic which is also indicated by when the Austrians entered that area but the towns were mostly Albanian. Nowhere do they use the word Arnaut for the majority Slavic areas. The Western and some of the central part of Kosovo was Albanian as indicated by sources.
This document from the 17th century says the same thing:
The General rested there for several days to issue orders on matters pertaining to that region, that had submitted to him voluntarily. The reputation of this commander grew more and more because of his orderliness such that 5,000 Arnauts [Muslim Albanians] in Pristina [Prishtina] who had risen against the Turks and [the inhabitants of] many of the major towns in the vicinity had given to understand that they would submit to the rule of the Emperor. Thus, when he arrived in Pristina, they swore allegiance to the Emperor and at that moment, this large tract of territory came under the shadow of the laurels of His Imperial Majesty.

This is all taken from 1689-1690 Austrian-Ottoman wars. No, I don't think all Orthodox people in Kosovo were Albanians with Slavic names (As also Noel Malcolm says he doesn't think that) but I think some of the Orthodox population in Kosovo were Albanians who became Islamised. And Catholic Albanians were Islamised too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheCreatorOne ( talk • contribs) 21:34, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
Prishtina has more than 193.000 inhabitants. Currently it has around 400.000 in the city and around 700.000 within Metro area. Simply, if you consider that Prishtina in 1991 census use to have 240.000 inhabitants, considering the migration of Serbs which fled Kosovo within Kosovo, meaning that they moved from Prishtina to surrounding areas within Kosovo. Today Prishtina has doubled building (apartment's). The closest estimation was of a Shpend Ahmeti ex-Mayor of Prishtina which has estimated around 360.000 within center not including F. Kosovo around 40.000; Obilic 28.000 Gracanica and Hajvalia around 30.000 and Lipjan 40.000. Than within Metro will be included Besiana/Podujeveo 70.000; Drenas 60.000. 84.22.51.207 ( talk) 14:36, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
