Albanian translation and typesetting
Albanian is an Indo-European language which forms its own branch in the Indo-European family and has no close relatives. Albanian has been written with various alphabet since the 15th century.
Originally the southern Tosk dialect was written with the Greek alphabet, while the northern Gheg dialect was written with the Latin alphabet. They have both also been written with the Turkish version of the Arabic alphabet. In 1916 an official standard based on Gheg came into being, but in 1945 the standard was reformed and based on Tosk.
Albanian is one of the languages in Southern Europe, but is also spoken in the UK and parts of Northern Europe as an ethnic language.
