The Role and the Operation of Albanian Language in Balkans

2018

Albanian language is the key of Proto-Indo-European languages. The aim of this paper is to research for the role and the operation of Albanian language in Balkans. The Albanian language is spoken by seven million people in the south-western of Balkans. Albanian is a language of the extensive Indo-European family and is thus related to a certain degree to almost all other languages of Europe. Albanian is officially spoken in the Republic of Albania and Kosova. Traditional Albanian settlements can be encountered sporadically elsewhere in Arbansi of Zadar (in Croatian); in some cities of Serbia; Macedonia; Montenegro and in the Bulgarian-Greek-Turkish border region. A few Albanian speakers are also to be found in the Ukraine (village in the regions Melitopol’ and Odessa) and notably in villages in Bulgarian (in Mandrica). As a geographical and cultural entity, and as a nation, Albania has often been enigmatic. The first document in Albanian language is: Paulus Angelus, 1462 “ I baptize...

The Language of the Caucasian Albanians

Caucasian Albania. An International Handbook, 2023

The Chapter provides a concise account of the Caucasian Albanian language as it appears in the Sinai palimpsests and the few known inscriptions. It begins with an analysis of the Albanian script and the phonological system it was invented for and continues with an overview of the morphological elements and the syntactical features of the language. Special attention is paid to the lexicon, with a focus on the different strata of loan words and the lexical elements that belong to the inherited East Caucasian stock.

The contrast of Albanian language articles with Balkans and Indo-European languages

IJO - International Journal of Educational Research (ISSN: 2805-413X), 2020

Albanian language has been noted above; the first millennium of Albanian history had little to do with the Albanian peoples themselves. As an ethnic group, the Albanians first emerged from the mists of history in the early years of the second millennium A.D. The name by which they became known, based on a root *alban-and its rhotacized variants *arban-, *albar-and *arbar-, first appears from the eleventh century onwards in Byzantine chronicles as Albanoi, Arbanitai and Arbanites, and from the fourteenth century onwards in Latin and other Western documents as Albanenses and Arbanenses. The aim of this paper is to research for the role and the operation of Albanian language in Balkans. The Albanian language is spoken by seven million people in the southwestern of Balkans. Albanian is a language of the extensive Indo-European family and is thus related to a certain degree to almost all other languages of Europe. Albanian is officially spoken in the Republic of Albania and Kosova. Traditional Albanian settlements can be encountered sporadically elsewhere in Arbansi of Zadar (in Croation); in some cities of Serbia; Macedonia; Montenegro and in the Bulgarian-Greek-Turkish border region. A few Albanian speakers are also to be found in the Ukraine (village in the regions Melitopol' and Odessa) and notably in villages in Bulgarian (in Mandrica). As a geographical and cultural entity, and as a nation, Albania has often been enigmatic. The first document in Albanian language is: Paulus Angelus, 1462 "I baptize thee in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit".

Albanian in contact with Slavic

And thus you are everywhere honored : studies dedicated to Brian D. Joseph / edited by James J. Pennington, Victor A. Friedman, Lenore A. Grenoble. Bloomington, Indiana : Slavica Publishers., 2019

The paper discusses the contacts between Albanian with Slavic in the framework of some major theoretical issues of Balkan and general contact linguistics. New field data from the zones of ongoing Albanian-Slavic contact in East Albania (Gollobordë area) and South Montenegro (Mrkovići area) will uncover special, mutual contact-induced changes in all structural levels of Albanian and South Slavic dialects (i.e. in phonetics/phonology, inflective morphology, morphosyntax, syntax, word formation, and vocabulary). Contact-induced change variation through time and space reveals the general paths of language convergence in the Balkans and the restrictions that apply to that convergence. Donor vs. recipient relations can tell us about former substrate, adstrate, and superstrate roles where written evidence is scarce or direct observation impossible. Historically changing social circumstances of contact, such as dominant vs. nondominant situations should be taken into consideration together with the roles of a high culture language vs. a language of traditional culture.

The Path of Standard Albanian Language Formation

European Journal of Social Science Education and Research

In our paper we will talk about the whole process of standardization of the Albanian language, where it has gone through a long historical route, for almost a century.When talking about standard Albanian language history and according to Albanian language literature, it is often thought that the Albanian language was standardized in the Albanian Language Orthography Congress, held in Tirana in 1972, or after the publication of the Orthographic Rules (which was a project at that time) of 1967 and the decisions of the Linguistic Conference, a conference of great importance that took place in Pristina, in 1968. All of these have influenced chronologically during a very difficult historical journey, until the standardization of the Albanian language.Considering a slightly wider and more complex view than what is often presented in Albanian language literature, we will try to describe the path (history) of the standard Albanian formation under the influence of many historical, political, social and cultural factors that are known in the history of the Albanian people. These factors have contributed to the formation of a common state, which would have, over time, a common standard language.It is fair to think that "all activity in the development of writing and the Albanian language, in the field of standardization and linguistic planning, should be seen as a single unit of Albanian culture, of course with frequent manifestations of specific polycentric organization, either because of divisions within the cultural body itself, or because of the external imposition"(

On official texts in Slavic dialects in the County of Korcha, South-Eastern Albania

Slavia Meridionalis, 2015

On official texts in Slavic dialects in the County of Korcha, South Eastern AlbaniaIn the article I consider official texts in Slavic dialects in Albania. Three texts are taken as examples: “An Internal Handbook for Organising the Work of a Regional Committee at a District/Prefecture Level of MAEI [Macedonian Alliance for European Integration]” (2009), a letter written by the villagers of Boboshtica to the Bulgarian Exarch (1873), and The “Charter of the Society of Kaynas” (2006). They make use of language in its symbolic function – the way these texts are written is almost as important as what exactly is written. These texts have been created to showcase the language and to underline its uniqueness against the background of another language or idiom, or, to put it another way, to underline through the language the special status of the people that use it.

The Cases of the Albanian Language - Based on the Point of View of the Linguist Fatmir Agalliu

World Journal of English Language

This paper aims to provide the contribution of the linguist Fatmir Agalliu and his point of view for Albanian language’s cases. Fatmir Agalliu belongs to the first generation of Albanian linguists that were educated inside the country that have given important support in the study of Albanian Language. An important and big value case is also his contribution on the determination of the number of cases in Albanian Language. In the determination of the number and the classification of cases of a language, we should consider specific features of that language and we should not apply a case system of another language mechanically. In Albanian declension there are two different aspects, definite and indefinite aspect. That means that case forms are doubled. Therefore, instead of having two nominative forms, one for singular and one for plural, we have four forms in fact, two for singular (definite and indefinite) and two for plural (definite and indefinite). Form and the content should t...

Albanian Language and Dialect of Rahovec

ISJM Volume 4, No.1 (2021), 2021

In this paper we will try to reflect the relationship of the standard language with the dialect of an area in Kosovo. In the city of Rahovec, in addition to the Albanian language, a language with a mixed lexicon is heard, Albanian, Serbian, Turkish, therefore the Albanian dialect is in circumstances of bilingualism and multilingualism. In these circumstances, during the historical development, Albanian and Serbian have interacted with each other. The relationship and relations of standard Albanian with dialectal forms will be treated in the framework of dialectal bilingualism. The object of review of the paper will be written documents and present discourse situations. To reflect the situation of Old Albanian in this dialect, we will refer to books written in this area, such as Divani of Sheh Maliqi or the Dictionary of Lubomir Kujonxhic. Meanwhile, the state of Albanian today will be reflected with examples collected in the field. Within the paper, we will compare the state and changes that have occurred in this dialect over time as a result of changes and historical circumstances, seeing them as sociolinguistic circumstances.
