Linguistic considerations

Getting Albanian right.

Small choices — dialect, script, register — change whether a Albanian document is accepted or an interpretation session lands correctly.

Dialect & variety

Albanian has two main dialect groups — Tosk (standard, Albanian) and Gheg (Kosovo, northern Albania, Macedonia). Written Albanian is largely Tosk-based, but interpretation should match the speaker's spoken dialect.
