Vathypedo
Vathypedo (Greek: Βαθύπεδο, before 1928: Προσβάλα, Prosvala; Aromanian: Buzvală) is a village and a former community in the Ioannina regional unit, Epirus, Greece. Since the 2011 local government reform it is part of the municipality North Tzoumerka, of which it is a municipal unit. The municipal unit has an area of 10.127 km2. Its population was 89 in 2021. Vathypedo is located on the slopes of the Sarmanitsa hill and a flat area at a lower altitude is formed and drained by a stream called Goura, a tributary of the Arachthos.
In the late 19th century scholar Ioannis Lambridis wrote the place name referred to an area 'hilly from sediments', a description of local geographic features. The toponym is derived from the Slavic preposition pro- meaning 'above, through' and the Slavic noun sъvala 'marsh' with the deletion of the unstressed ъ, expressed as u in Greek due to northern phonetics.
Vathypedo has an Aromanian population and is an Aromanian speaking village. In the early 21st century, elderly people were bilingual in the community language and Greek, whereas younger residents under 40 might have understood the community language but did not use it.
