The ‘queen bee’ of the highlands
The Albanian xhubleta (indefinite xhublete) is a traditional dress worn by women in the isolated northern highland regions of Albanian and Kosovo. It is considered to be one of the oldest traditional folk costumes in the Balkans. Many scholars have noted the ancient features of the dress (Coon 1950: 15-16; Stipcevic 1977: 90; Belkaid 2013; Gjokaj 2021: 81-2, vol. I). The only proposed etymology for the word xhubleta is found in Topalli (2017: 160…
Turning night into day
We bring to light here two case studies from Albanian that show interesting semantic change, and we argue that in order to understand the particular changes involved, the concept of “milieu” (Christiansen and Joseph 2016: 56-7) should be invoked
Linguistic variation within the Northwestern Gheg Albanian dialect
In previous literature and linguistics analysis, the Northwestern Gheg Albanian dialect is classified as one zone that encompasses the area of northwestern Albania and southwestern Montenegro (B. Demiraj 1997: 40, Gjinari 1989: 54-8, Mëniku 2008: vii., Shkurtaj 2016: 26). The area is assumed to form a single subdialect; however, evidence from various levels of linguistic analysis discussed in this paper challenges this assumption. The area of Mal…
Linguistic evidence for the Indo-European and Albanian origin of Aphrodite
I consider the question of the source of the divine name Aphrodite, arguing that the etymology of the name indicates an Albanian and Illyrian origin. I first survey different etymological hypotheses and give reasons for rejecting them and then turn to motivating the Albanian sound changes necessary for taking the name to derive from Albanian sources. The historical and linguistic evidence will show that the Albanian phrase afro dita ‘come forth t…
Morphological and phonological origins of Albanian nasals and its parallels with other laws
The Albanian language is traditionally divided between the Gheg dialect to the geographic north and the now Standard Tosk dialect to the geographic south. Recent literature of the historically isolated dialect of Malsia Madhe (Dedvukaj 2022) has revealed a subdialect which has not undergone the specific phonological sound changes seen in both the Standard Tosk and Modern Gheg dialects. The Tosk dialect is distinct from the dialects of Gheg and Ma…
Re-evaluating Albanian’s place in Indo-European studies
While Albanian has traditionally been marginalized in Indo-European (IE) studies, this has been due to the extensive borrowing in the Tosk Albanian dialect used by previous literature. However, the Malsia Madhe dialect of Albanian better preserves the phonotactics and lexicon of Proto-Albanian, Proto Illyrian, and Proto-Indo-European. Therefore, Malsia Madhe Albanian should be utilized when discussing the history of Albanian and its place in IE s…
