Albanian – basic information
- Albanian is a member of the Indo-European language family. Its origins are poorly documented; as a separate entity it emerged from an unspecified Paleo-Balkan language in 7th or 8th century AD (most likely, it was related to one of the Illyrian or Tracian languages which were spoken at the time in the Balkans). The first written account of Albanian, a baptismal formula, is dated to 1462. Its literary standard evolved in the 19th century. For more than a hundred years, Albanian has been written in the Latin alphabet, which came to replace previous writing systems: the Cyrillic, Greek and Arabic scripts).
- There are two major regional varieties: Gheg and Tosk; they are separated by the 41st parallel north and the Shkumbin river. Gheg is spoken north of this dividing line (it is also employed in Kosovo and Macedonia) while Tosk, the southern variety, is also used by the Albanian diaspora in Italy and Greece. These two major dialect groups exhibit fairly significant phonological, lexical and grammatical variation.
- Albanian is regulated by the Social Sciences and Albanological Section of the Academy of Sciences of Albania.
