Albanian (Gheg)

Sample Translation In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear withness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

Ie, the slavo-gabel speaks albanian, but it does not make him a member of the Illyrian stock. So, all you Tosk out there...many people in the western world can make the distinction with confidence. You are not fooling anyone. ... Anne    10-08-2008 04:45:30 AM Gheg albania is original, in situ. Tosk language is the result of the influence of other neighboring peoples. This is why the Ghegs speaking people are unable to understand Tosk don't understand Tosk. Moreover, the Gheg, who have been isolated geographically and genetically do not resemble the Tosk people. In Ablania there are to too distinct genetic groups: Gheg and Tosk. It has been Tosk propaganda to try to clump together both types of people. And it is for this reason that the Tosk in power have created a "standard" language to further disintegrate the Ghegs, culturally, genetically, linguistically. The Ghegs are the last vestige of the Northern highland illyrians.The Tosk are the neighboring peoples (greeks, bulgars, romania, turks, etc) who moved into Illyrian and assimilated with the population in situ, resulting in the evolution of the Tosk dialect. ...

Gheg albanians are genetically closest to the original indigeneous peoples. Tosk speaking people are ethinically different from Gheg speaking albanians. The tosk are less illyrian then the Gheg. The tosk are a mixture of other peoples such as turks, romanians, bulgarian gypsies etc. ... anneggo    07-06-2008 03:11:36 AM Statistics arent correct: there are more than 3,000,000 albanians that speak albanian-gheg in ex-Yugosslavian countries (Kosovo 2,000,000; Macedonia 1,000,000, and lots of them in South Serbia and in Montenegro); more than 300,000 in Greece, more than 150,000 in Italy. ...
