Table on dialect differences

In this table the etymologies (columns "root" and "source") must be thoroughly revised.

For instance: ne "us" has no reason to come from Arabic rather than from Indo-European (cf. Latin nos); zot is "lord" (and "mister"), not properly "god" (Perëndia); mbret "king" is from Latin imperator (and regj from Latin rex, accusative regem).

If I had time, I would check the whole list using at least the standard works: B. Demiraj, Albanische Etymologien, 1997 (or http://iiasnt.leidenuniv.nl/ied/) (which has the words of Indo-European origin only); W. Meyer-Lübke, Romanisches Etymologisches Wörterbuch, 1939 (for the words of Latin origin, of course); G. Meyer, Etymologisches Wörterbuch der albanesischen Sprache, 1891.

Those are called "user boxes". We don’t have any user boxes here in Wiktionary except for Babel boxes. The reason is that these boxes are for the purposes of a vanity page, and the only personal qualities that we are interested in here are language capabilities. —Stephen ^(Talk) 02:18, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This map is usefull, even in Albania page, why remove ? Nemzag (talk) 22:05, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Albania Dialect Map

Hi, I noticed you removed the map, I would like to add it in Albania Language section. Can I ? Are you an Admin ? Nemzag (talk) 22:11, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I removed the map because that section is supposed to be about the languages spoken in Albania not just the Albanian language although it is the most spoken language in that country. That map focuses on only the Albanian language and it also shows dialects of that language in different countries which is irrelevant to the article as it is just supposed to focus on Albania. That map would be useful in the Albanian language article as that article discusses the different dialects of the Albanian language and where they are spoken. Regards. --Local hero ^talk 23:03, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I added the image in Albania Language, if you like you can add in the Albanian Language page. This map is useful for Albanian page, cause it shows the propagation of the language that make us albanian, and the section talk about Tosk & Gheg, so I think this image should be added there. We speak albanian despite border. Nemzag (talk) 00:33, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also, Pashko Vasa use his source from "referring to the verse found in the Homer's Iliad, "beyond the mountains of Akrokeronis, the land is inhabited by the Giants (Greek: γίγας; Latin: GIGAS)". So I don't understand what source more you need ? Nemzag (talk) 14:00, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Forget about that I don't added this info but still the explication is good enough two source are mentioned author & old book. So why do you say don't sourced ??? Please re add and add the wiki code "need source", if someone else knows he will add. Also ask someone in the WikiProject Albania. Thanks. Nemzag (talk) 14:12, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot verify a source to justify the reversal of this edit. It seems like you have taken the information in the Albanian wikipedia here, where it is sourced with Vehbi Bala : PASHKO VASA - portret-monografi, botuar në : Pashko Vasa VEPRA 4, Rilindja, Prishtinë 1989. However, here in the English Wikipedia we have to provide the page number and possibly a quote. If you happen to have Bala's book, and Bala would qualify as a reliable source, that would be sufficient to justify his claim and revert the edit.

I understand you well, no need to change your words, if you think I don't get them. Anyway you seem to speak a "hard" form of Gheg dialect. And I'm not speaking the dialect "of the border with Greece": it's just the standard Albanian (gjuha letrare). Anyway I don't see any problem with your discussion with the user JorisvS. He had just made a typing mistake in the pronunciation of [dɛɾ·ə] and there was no conflict between you...

Gmazdên (talk) 00:16, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I speak Albanian and have a degree in teaching it. Derisa is a conjuction (lidhez), unless it is used in the meaning of "deri sa arrita". In the sense of "perderisa", "derisa" is one word. Std Albanian is used in Kosovo, Macedonia and Albania as lingua franca, although of course Kosovo, northern Albania and Macedonia's Albanians use gheg Albanian at home.

I don't know who is Migjen Kelmendi, I'm born in Skopje and I speak Shqip since I'm kid like my parents & family...

I even didn't know before two weeks that two dialect were used in Albania, and now, I know that I speak the Gheg dialect, I don't want to use what you call Standard or Tosk, since is clearly falsified based upon root...

I thought you were Canadian & not albanian (have you albanian blood ?)...

May be we could keep two variant in board deri sa / derisa...

You use Arrita, I use Mrrina...

And for Perderisa, I never used this word and I don't understand his meaning. Gmazdên (talk) 00:31, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am Albanian by blood. These lists are kind of unnecessary anyways, as Wikipedia is not a dictionary. They are all unsourced, so someone will remove them eventually as WP:OR. If you want to do a favor to the Albanian nation, please summarize a book written by an independent linguist such as this and write a Good Article. Please understand what wikipedia is. --Brunswick Dude (talk) 00:42, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand why someone would erase since it's vandalism, and I just added IPA, root/source & some word, to show the variation of dialect, it's interesting for any one to know these falsification...

It's not original research, the root are from "Albanian Etymological Dictionary" of "Vladimir Orel", I will not add page & source for each word, also this book don't use Ottoman Arabic Turkish Persian & Hindu reference, so for some word I searched by my self, based on my knowledge of the Qoran & Babylon 8 research...

Suit yourself. In my opinion you are waisting time here. If you are interested in promoting literary works in gheg Albanian, you can write the article "Lahuta e Malcis", which is the most important literary piece, or write more about Albanian writers in Gheg Albanian, especially the ones from Ilirida, of which you may be more cognizant than others, and can truly help wikiproject Albania. If you just want to highlight the differences between the dialects, who is that going to interest? The linguists that are interested in gheg Albanian can buy a book and read it, but how many people, non Albanian speakers are truly interested in that? What they might be interested in is the Albanian culture in Ilirida. Can you do something about that? --Brunswick Dude (talk) 02:05, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Listen, I'm not literature expert or book analyser, I add what I know and not what other needs and I don't write good enough English to make article by my own, I just can help for adding or correcting some word & info... If I want to learn Gheg I will listen more modern audio record, than spending time reading book using the archaic system of book scripture that ancient used for memory record. I live in +2011 not 500. Also I don't know the content of these book, perhaps I just will spend my time reading & learning falsified Tosk/Greek orthodox dialect. I never eared about book talking about dialect comparison. When I listen an Albanian Singer I can immediately identify is dialect, if it's good or not. I'm not interested learning what you call Standard Albanian. And your focus on my add in Board, remind me that you are probably Tosk, or even someone who seems to try to prevent other to acquire the code / method used for falsification of albanian word in Albania. Also write me in Albanian for Albania discussion. Thanks. Gmazdên (talk) 08:19, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not telling you to learn standard Albanian or any language for that matter. If you read what I write, you'll recognize that I said the opposite: expand on things that you know, such as the Albanian writers from Ilirida, or gheg Albanian writers. I would love to write in Albanian, but it's not allowed in the talk pages of the English Wikipedia, because we have to be open to everyone. One more thing. Please don't place what we say in talk pages into the talk pages of an article, that is not allowed either. For that I would suggest you undo this edit of yours [2].

I think the discussion is about that page, why to reverse ? It's annoying, I don't want to talk any more, good bye ; the root in board mean related term and not etymology... Gmazdên (talk) 11:20, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And about Ilirida (Free), I'm consider my self descendant of Pyroman Phôthomanë Empire and of Scipio latin, the Illyrian have been exterminated by the legion, and their culture disappeared surely at 500AD... This modern theory of Illyrian origin of what you call albanian, and that I call Shqiptar came from anti-imperialist communist... Gmazdên (talk) 11:36, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is not proper to copy discussions from one page to another. If you want to talk about something on the article’s talk page, you should start with it there, and then others can contribute as they like. Whenever anyone makes a personal comment in a discussion, the comment belongs to the author even though it might be on your talk page. You can delete it if it bothers you, but you can’t modify it in any way or move it to some other page.

Also, an article’s talk page is for discussions among editors and users, it is not to be used as a blog or as an article in its own right.

The only way that you will ever be able to contribute successfully here is if you learn how to cooperate and collaborate with others. This is a collaborative effort and nobody can do significant work here unless he can get along with and work with the other editors. This includes a requirement that you earn and keep the respect of the other editors. If you just make everyone angry and they lose respect for you, you won’t be able to do anything outside of your own talk page. —Stephen (talk) 11:57, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your right Stephën, I did not think to start the threads on Page Discussion. But since it's concern removal or modification of content, I believed it would be better to keep discussion there has archive, I don't see why to be angry for such small reason.

Hi, I'm Gheg Albanian from Skopje, and I know that Epsilon is [e] & not [ɛ] it's important that you leave Hêta because Gheg & Tosk variant like Tim / Têm, Jim / Jêm are caused by Greek Hêta [ɛ / i] & Hypje / Hipje (ascent), Ftyrë / Ftirë (face), Krypë & Kripë (salt) by Ypsilon [y / i], Albanian peoples (Gheg / Tosk / Arbanitês) use [o] like in kos (yoghurt), and [ɔ] in Dorë (Hand). All albanian verb are ending with -ÔJ [-ɔj] like Greek verb using -ιζω or -ω. So Greek Ômega is [ɔ] and exist in Shqip.

The other letter are unsourced to ? Do you plane to erase ? I'm asking you to keep what I added please. Gmazdên (talk) 08:58, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello and thanks. I'm afraid it's not entirely clear to me what you are talking about. You seem to be talking about phonology and phonological history of Albanian, and saying that there is a phonological contrast between /o/ and /ɔ/ in Albanian, and that some historical (loan word?) relationships between Greek and Albanian are sensitive to the presence of historical "η" in Greek. That may all be fine and true, but it's not what that page is about. The Arvanitic alphabet page is not about etymological relations between Greek etymons and Albanian words, but about a specific system of spelling Albanian in the Greek alphabet, in Greece, and it says it is mainly describing the system used in a specific Albanian edition of the New Testament (I think the author meant the one by Grigor Gjirokastriti, and I seem to remember I once checked the table against that work.) If you believe Gjirokastriti used omega and eta in spelling Albanian, please provide a source; my understanding is that he apparently didn't. I suppose his translation would have been in a form of Tosk anyway, which doesn't apparently have the vowel contrasts you speak of. Fut.Perf. ☼ 09:23, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

emailed: Hi, can you check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arvanitic_alphabet, I added Hêta & Ômega to Arvanitic alphabet but Future_Perfect_at_Sunrise reversed arguing source, other letter don't have source, so I don't understand, it's important to keep Hêta & Ômega because Gheg & Tosk use those sound. And variant of Gheg & Tosk are caused by Hêta [ɛ] becaming [i] & Ypsilon [y] becaming [i]. Also Epsilon is [e] and [ɛ]... Gmazdên

I’m not an admin here and Albanian is not one of my languages. In order to make any substantial change to an article, you have to be able to show a source, some good evidence that others can check and confirm. The only thing I could find on this was here: http://www.christusrex.org/www1/pater/alphabet/alban-greek-alpha.jpg ... but this source does not support your position. It does not show the eta or the omega. —Stephen (talk) 10:42, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I understand your point of view Future Perfect, but may be Arbanitês is incomplete. Also you use [ɛ] for Epsilon and in the source prowided by Stephen it's [e]... Still, those letter exist in Greek and for Shqip Greek words. I would like to implore you to keep or to add Ômega & Êta [ɛ→i] to this alphabet. It's a needed for Wiktionary, cause I need Êta & Ômega for variation [ɛ/i] [y/i] of Tosk/Gheg/Arbanitês in Alternative spelling... Has I said before the ending verb use Ômega [ɔ] in Ancient Ellêniqa & Old Latin / Etruscan. So Arbanitês surely use it in language, since Omicron is [o], we (Shqip) need Ômega [ɔ], may be their alphabet is incomplete and I would like to correct and complete.. Please, hope you understand. Don't leave in the past by keeping only what Grigor Gjirokastriti said. Everything thing evolve. Are you Arbanitês / Arbëritês ?

If so, or not, I'm searching for ΛΕΞΙΚΟΝ ΤΗΣ ΑΛΒΑΝΙΚΗΣ ΓΛΩΣΣΗΣ (1908) of Kostandin Kristoforidhi (in PDF or else). Do you know an English Arbanitês dictionary using Greek Script, I really need this one for ==Alternative Term== in Wiktionary (I would like to add Arbanitês variant using Greek script but using Hêta, Qoppa & Ômega (for ê / i, O/Ô / y/i variante between Tosk & Gheg)...

I'm not able to access the page, cause you redirected to Albanian Alphabet, the page talk about Arbênitês but doesn't show the letter can you add them or remove the redirection. Please. Gmazdên (talk) 13:05, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I see you uploaded the "Albanesisch-Griechisch" table from Faulmann (File:Alban-greek-alpha.jpg). It's interesting indeed. Perhaps, with that, the Meksi New Testament and the Christoforidis dictionary you mentioned, we could in fact turn the Arvanitic alphabet page into something better, say an article to be called Albanian-Greek scripts. Macrakis (talk · contribs) might be able to help, as he is the author of a relevant paper cited at the Albanian alphabet article. Fut.Perf. ☼ 13:58, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

May be it's a good idea, you can call it Albanian-Greek scripts or Arvanitic alphabet, because only Arbanitês use this variant. I don't know what you have in mind, but what I surely know, it's that in Skopje we use e [e] (epsilon) & ê [ɛ] (Êta), o [o] (Omicron) & ô [ɔ] (Ômega), k [k] (Kappa) & k [q] (Qoppa) and Nasal. For me the actual Albanian Latin Alphabet is incomplete and I prefer Bashkimi alphabet (except for GJ, NJ ; about Ç I prefer TSH), but really, some letter must be added to Bashkimi like ê [ɛ] (êta), ô [ɔ] (ômage) & q [q] (qoppa), and nasal vowel ã ẽ/ѧ ĩ õ/ѫ ũ ỹ that Gheg/Slavônic use.
