The Albanian Language
linguists believe that Albanian, the official language of Albania, is the only existing representative of a branch of an Indo- European family language. This makes Albanian a language branch by itself. In Albania and Kosovo there are 7.6 million speakers Small ethnic groups in Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, Romania, and Italy also speak Albanian. There are also small Albanian- speaking populations in Greece, Germany, Sweden, the United States, Ukraine, and Belgium.
The Albanian language originated and evolved from either Illyrian or Thracian, both are extinct Paleo- Balkan languages. Latin has a big influence, with about 85 Latin words surviving in Albanian but not in any other Romance language. In addition, there are 151 Albanian words that were originally Latin, but were not inherited in Romanian. Albanian church terminologies’ phonetics also reflect that they were borrowed from early Latin.
There are also influences from Greek, Slavic and German languages.
