Bis jetzt habe ich immer nur vom "Albanisch der Albaner" und vom "Albanisch der Kosovaren" gesprochen. Das kann man natürlich auch feiner ausdrücken: die albanische Sprache wird in zwei Hauptdialekten speaking, they are called Tosk and Gheg. The spatial boundary between the two dialects can pass through the middle of Albania, as in this Wikipedia image:
Although one should mention that there are major dialects within this very important differences. The Macedonian Gheg sounds unmistakably different from the Kosovo Gheg.
Today's Albanian existing standard written language was developed in 1972 based on Tosk. Tosk Why? Since 1972 Enver Hoxha was in charge. And what dialect said Enver Hoxha? Correct: Tosk.
Although this standard Albanian in Kosovo is used as a written language, spoken there is still the Gheg dialect.
interesting: There is even a small Wikipedia is in the written language Gheg !
