About the Albanian language

Back to Europe with this exploration of the unique Albanian language. Nobody knows for sure where does it come from and to which other languages it is related, as it has so many unusual and interesting features. Hope you enjoy it :)

Super big thank you if you decide to support me on Patreon, here's the link:

You seem to have an extensive knowledge of Albanian history, culture, and language, your video is superb.

"Avash avash" comes out from Othoman empire
"Dalë nga dalë" is the authentic Albanian words witch means "slowly slowly " in English

Honest attempt to describe Albanian language, even though we can talk days and nights for certain things said above. Beautiful person Julia. Good luck in your personal life!

Very interesting video! I am an Italian-American. My grandfather's native language was Albanian. He came from a small village in Calabria called Shen Kolli in his native language.

..."avash avash" is Turkey...in Albanian we say "n'gadalë n'gadalë".

Dear Julie, you did a bang up job on Albanian. I have only heard it spoken a few times here in Prague by tourists. It has a unique sound and I heard both versions of "th". I suppose that the imposed isolation explains why the complexity of the grammar remains. It was a revelation to me that nearly 50% of the vocabulary arises from Latin. That was a new piece of information. I must say that the language has a nice sound to it. Many thanks.

I'm from India.. I love to speak Shqip.. i use to speak with good fluency.. I've been in Albania for 3 years.. learnt to speak in 4 months.. now nobody is in good contact to speak with in Shqip.. i should agree that Albanian Language is so unique like my native language Thamizh..

hahaha I love the translation at 6:20 Thats exactly the reaction people have in Albania when you speak Albanian to them. Keep up the good work!

Greetings from Skopje, love this language, hoping more macedonians open up to learning it because it really is a beautiful language and worthwhile to know it and the culture of our fellow balkan peoples

[ruthhenderson]

That was so intriguing. As a linguist who speaks 6 languages that was so insightful. You explained things so logically and so eloquently thank you.
I'm interested in learning Albanian and just starting out.

[brainstormer]

Great video, thanks :)
Just a little information, "avash" 7:48 comes in fact from the Ottomans .
The Albanian word for that is : " ngadalë "
