==Demographics== Sarakinoi had 356 inhabitants in 1981. In fieldwork done by anthropologist Riki Van Boeschoten in late 1993, Sarakinoi was populated by Slavophones. The Macedonian language was used by people of all ages, both in public and private settings, and as the main language for interpersonal relationships. Some elderly villagers had little knowledge of Greek.
