About the Albanian Language

Albanian language is spoken by Albanians and is an Indo-European language. It is unique in the sense that it is stands on its own from the other Indo-European languages. There are no other languages in Europe that Albanian is directly related to. There are around 7 million Albanian speakers and they are based mainly in Albania, Italy, Greece, Montenegro and North Macedonia.

Dialect

There are two dialects in the Albanian language; Tosk and Gheg. Tosk is spoken in the south and Gheg in the north. The Tosk dialect is standard Albanianlanguage, whereas Gheg has four sub-dialects. These are the Northwest, Northeast, Central and Southern Gheg. The two main dialects; Tosk and Gheg are separated by the Shkumbin river.

Orthography

Albanian text originally used the Latin alphabet, which dated by to 1462. Albanian has also used the Greek alphabet and the Cyrillic alphabet, as well as the Arabic script. This is the way Albanian orthography corresponds in English.

c=ts ç=t? dh=ð ë=? gj=? ll=? nj=? q??=c

r=? rr=r sh=? th=? x=dz xh=d? y=y zh=?

Classification

Albanian is not derived from any other language and it sits as independently from other Indo-European languages. Although distinctive in its own rights, Albanian has been compared with Latin, Greek and Germanic, as well as Balto-Slavic and Armenian.

History

Albanian was first mentioned in writing in 1284 and in 1914, there was the first audio recording of the language. The Albanian language was not recognised until 1909, at which time it was decided that Albanian schools would be permitted.

Phonology

The Albanian language contains 7 vowels and 29 consonants. Phonology varied between Geg and Tosk. Geg contains nasal vowels which aren’t present in the Tosk dialect. For example ‘is’ in the Geg dialect is âsht and Tosk is është. The Geg dialect also has phonemic vowel length, which are not present in Tosk dialect.

Grammar

The grammar of the Albanian language is similar to other European languages. Nouns have three or four cases and show overt gender and number. The verbs of Albanian are similar to that of French and Italian, with the same number and form variety. The grammar of Albanian is similar to Modern Greek and Romanian.

Literary Tradition

Literary tradition of the Albanian language goes back as far as the Middle Ages. Albanian literature was written by Albanians in the Kosovo area, as well as the Albanian diaspora. The first Albanian literature was written by Catholic clerics and was published outside of Albanian, primarily in Rome. The literature at the start was mainly of religious content. Romanticism and nationalist movements changed Albanian literature and it started to make up a range of other genres, including folklore, romance and patriotism.

Vocabulary

It is thought that as much as 90% of the Albanian vocabulary is made up of loanwords from other languages, including Italian, Turkish, Latin, Greek and Slavic. The highest proportion has been taken from Latin. Future tense and noun phrases in Albanian are shared with other Balkan languages, although it is unsure as to whether Albanian was the original source.
