Summary from Ελληνικά / Modern Greek Wikipedia (elwiki)

Η Δρόβιανη (αλβανικά: Dhrovjan‎‎) είναι κοινότητα στον νομό Αυλώνα στη νότια Αλβανία. Το 2015, μετά τη μεταρρύθμιση της τοπικής αυτοδιοίκησης, έγινε μέρος του δήμου Φοινίκης. Βρίσκεται 18 χιλιόμετρα ανατολικά των Αγίων Σαράντα. Το χωριό κατοικείται αμιγώς από Έλληνες και το 1967 είχε γύρω στα 200 σπίτια και 8 μαχαλάδες. Στο έδαφος της Δρόβιανης έχουν βρεθεί αρχαιοελληνικά νομίσματα, κάτι που σημαίνει ότι κάποτε υπήρχαν αρκετοί αρχαιοελληνικοί ναοί στην περιοχή. Η Δρόβιανη είναι ο τόπος ταφής του Χάρολντ "Μπιλ" Σάικς, ενός Βρετανού πιλότου διπλάνου που σκοτώθηκε τον Νοέμβριο του 1940. Κατά τον Αθανάσιο Πετρίδη από την περιοχή της Δρόβιανης προέρχονται οι πρώτοι Σουλιώτες που εγκατέλειψαν τις εστίες τους από τον φόβο αντεκδικήσεων στην εποχή της τουρκοκρατίας.
