introduction
Nn Nj nj Oo Pp Qq Rr
n ny o p ty r Albanian (gjuha shqipe dyooha shtyeepe) is one of the oldest Indo-European
languages, generally considered the only descendant of Illyrian, the language of the
Rr rr Ss Sh sh Tt Th th Uu ancient inhabitants of the Balkans. With no close relatives and constituting a branch
rr s sh t th oo
of its own, its a proud survivor of the Roman, Slavic and Ottoman influxes and a
Vv Xx Xh xh Yy Zz Zh zh European linguistic oddity on a par with Basque.
v dz j ew z zh Albanians position on the edge of the turbulent and multilingual Balkans means
that its been influenced by many languages. Some similarities with Romanian, for
example, suggest that the two languages were closely related and that their speakers
albanian interacted even in pre-Roman times. The Romans, who established control over the
present-day Albania by 167 BC and ruled for the next five centuries, left their mark on
Bosnia &
Romania the vocabulary and structure of the language. After the division of the Roman Empire
Hercegovina Danube
in AD 395, Albanians fell within the realm of Byzantium and Greek Orthodox culture.
Serbia The interaction with Bulgarian and Serbian began after the arrival of the Slavs to the
Croatia Balkans in the 6th century. With the Ottoman conquest in 1479 Turkish and Arabic
influences were added to the mix.
