lopatë (spade) sounds like polish łopata which means shovel/spade,
zhabë (toad) sounds like polish żaba which means frog,
bisedë (talk) sounds like polish biesiada, which means a gathering of people where they feast and talk and drink etc.
Albania is so far away, I know nothing about that country, but some words look so similar. Feels weird.
there is loaned Polish words used in Albania. Mainly, because of Albanian students in Poland during 50-60ies. However, very few.
Or maybe the polish language has borrowed some Albanian words and for that you looking like similar coz what I know is that the Albanian language is the official language what was used from Illyrian and is old language. I mean is normal some of the countries has borrowed albanian words 😉

The part with real people speaking in the TV is a very good thing especially because it shows that a language is also able to be practiced in the modern world.
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.
what are the six languages are ?
Very educational video, great work!
Really clear! I like how you explain things... you have a very sweet expression 🙂
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.
Gonna share this with my Albanian friend. His name is so unique, it's Semi. Never heard of that name until I met him
his name is Kasem bc Semi is short for Kasem.
Yasha a lot of people have thay name you probably never heard of agon too we have very different named
names
"Semi" is same as the English pronunciation of the name "Sammy"! Nothing "so" unique about the name - its just a different spelling - dude! LOL

2:39 The roots of the word "Albania" are traced back to the ancient Greco-Roman historian Ptolemy 150 bc.
He writes of an Ilyrian tribe named "Albanoi" and a city named "Albanopolis" located in present day central Albania.
The name "Shqiperi" was made popular by the Albanian national hero Gjergj Kastrioti (Scanderbeg).
The world "Shqiperi" comes from the word "Shqipe", or "Shqiponje" which in English means "Eagle".
Being 70% mountainous terrain, Albania is perfect Eagle territory.
Albanians, the sons/daughters of Eagles. 🦅 🦅 🇦🇱 🔥
You are correct, however it is not completely known where the Albanians came from, and it is a heavy debate topic, especially among Linguists. The dominating hypothesis is that Albanians originated as Paleo-Balkanic peoples, however whether or not this includes that Albanians are direct descendents of the Illyrians is still unknown.
Albania is a very beautiful place, with very kind people, and underrated history. Love from Bulgaria!
🇦🇱❤🇧🇬
@cerebrummaximus3762 - The only people who deny that Albanians are the descendants of Ylirians are the Serbs. They do this because from the beginning of the 7th century, they have invaded Albanian lands. Denying Albanian history is part of their hostile agenda towards Albanians.
@cerebrummaximus3762 - Slavic people like the Serbs migrated in the Balkans in the seventh century.
However, there is no known time or date of the arrivals of the Albanians in the Balkans. This because Albanians are native to the Balkans. Having been there before humans were able to record history.
I must say you are talented and I hope you will be successful in your future researches.
You sent me back on time...there where I was growing up I Kosovo, in mid 90s in my secondary school where I studied languages in Eqrem Cabej gymnasium of philology. All though I hold my language to be the most interesting and mysterious languages in the world I must say it is not easy to learn especially when you dive into grammar rules.
great video...keep up the good work avash avash
Good job Julie, keep it up.
You forgot Serbia and Montenegro, Albanian speakers there too
She forgot Cham Albanians And Arvanite Albanians of Greece
@@sumax-nz1je The Arvanites of Greece are not considering them selves Albanians regardless from their origin.
@@Pados_music they speak Albanian nevertheless!
The "considering" is nothing but social engineering, harsh assimilative policies, oppression.. all unnatural processes imposed upon them.
@@lindaS_ That is correct. But i believe they must be viewed lost for the Albanian nation.
@@Pados_music Lost (though only partially) in the present, but the past history cannot be twisted or lost that easily. First of all because of the inside voices that long to know their own true roots.. it is their right to decide that!
And secondly and most importantly, because same thievery agenda keeps reaching out for more into the Albanian territory and population to this day.. for sure they will be shown their place ..and past too.
The name Albania was first recorded by the roman historian Ptolemy 150 BCE.
He described an Ylirian tribe named "Albanoi" located in present day central Albania.
Since that time the Romans, and as a result everybody else uses the name Albanian to describe us.
The name "Shqiperi" which is the name us Albanians call ourselves was made popular by our national hero Gjergj Kastrioti (Skenderbeu) or (Scanderbeg).
The name "Shqiperi" comes from the name "Shqipe" or "Shqiponje" which means: "Eagle"
Because of 70% mountainous terrain Albania is perfect Eagle territory.
The Albanians the sons/daughters of the Eagles. 🇦🇱

Great job with the video, i know it can be tedious in finding information on cultures at times.
This is a great video!
Thank you!
The albanian language is older than the latin and many latin words can be devided and explained by albanish, that’s why people think latin influenced albanish.
You make great videos JuLingo
Lol you are shy and cute :) Nice video ! You did pronounce perfectly all combined letters of the alphabet !
Welsh also has 'dd' for the ð (written 'dd' in Welsh) and θ. We also recognise the schwa sound and we write it with the letter 'y'.
Sion, there are lots of common words between Celtic and Albanian. One I learned today: Coch in welsh is for red. In Albanina is Kuc, which pronounces like cooch in English.
@@blerimimodaablemight both derive from common PIE?

Very smart and beautiful, Julie! I especially like that you mentioned the ancient Albanian scripts, I didn't know that before :)
Where did she mentioned that? I think there are no ancient Albanian scripts. Only Hellenic/Greek signs and scripts even in the Illyrians kingdom, and then Latin scripts.

Hi👋 where are you from🤔?
I'm glad to hear that you like ouer language and the video have great informations about ❤🇦🇱🇽🇰❤ language, good job👍
my advice for you is to put the translation on english or fix the quality of the sound on video because for myself was a little hard to understand a few words😊
This channel is great. I can't understand why the views have been plunged in recent videos.
Super nice description. I in particular enjoyed and laughed on how you explained the admirative , lol, ... which is actually true - and it is what makes albanian so unique and quite universal.
I had worked and developed the first ever electronic spellchecker for Albanian back in 1997, ant it was then that I understood how complex my native tounge is.
One single verb depending on its tense and combined with the mood can be written in up to 36 different forms, ... and then the irregular verbs, (ah, ... :) )
... The Albanian use of admirative forms is unique in the Balkan context. It is not translatable in other languages. In English, the expression of surprise can be rendered by 'oh, look!' or 'lookee there!'; the expression of doubt can be rendered by 'indeed!'; the expression of neutral reportedness can be rendered by 'apparently' ...
While being greatful to your video, I am not aware that Shqip means the language of the people,
it rather means, Shqiperia - land of eagle(s), from Shqipe - Shqiponja -
and by deduction, shqip - the language of these people. There is also a legend about how these peopl of the eagle came to be ...
A mistery (or not) is why the others call us Albanians - whereby Alba refers to white, which could mean the white people. But we never called ourselves like that.
I think it sounded a little slavic. Anyway it's a cool and mysterious language and the likely connection to illyrian is fascinating. Cheers from Denmark.
It's your perception about the Slavic sound because of the Slavic invasion but if you Learn it you will feel guilty for saying something like that
@@inxhitafa6909 why would I feel guilty? That's completely absurd.
I've watched a number of your videos lately on unique languages, and their own name for the language quite often seems to translate to 'people's language'. However distinct, this is a common feature :)

The Albanian language is older than Latin. Those words that you compared if you notice are shorter in Albanian which indicates an older origin then the Latin ones. Its the other way around. The Latin language has taken words from the ancient Albanian language. If someone takes the time to really study the Gheg dialect of the Albanian language, they will understand the origin of the words. If you want to learn a little bit about this topic, I suggest you read the books of Mathieu Aref.
Such propaganda, why do you have to lie this way? Who said shorter words mean older? Gënjeshtra shqiptare tipike, nuk bëhet Shqipëria me shqiptarë 🤦♂️
And yet if that was true where is the Albanian alphabet ... I can only see Latin ??

Ive seen this done way too many times by different youtubers to remain silent. Amicus(latin)does NOT mean Mik(albanian), cuz "Mik" doesnt really mean 'friend' in albanian. More than anything it means 'Guest'. So i would not categorize it as a latin loanword! - great video! Keep it up! 💪🏻

I think it sounds Slavic. Especially that man you showed a clip of. As always a great video.
I read the word "Shqip" could be of Latin derivation, from excipere.
*on the origin of SHQIP*
- it's in cant, when a syllable (or an entire word) is read backwards (with an additional 'code' R, as a tail, a spoiler) -
shQip shPiq ~ speech, spRoq, spRak, spReche.
It's old thieves', rogues' sLANG (~ LANGuage), one meant to be secret.
the words language & speech = gjuhe & fjalim.
Sounds similar to Finnish (PUHE ~ 'sPEECH') & Estonian (kõne - 'speech') ones.
Only a perception nothing else from you Learn it first . Next comment how it sounds
I guess the word "Albania" itself is a Latin word, it refers to womething white (cliffs, mountains...) There used to be a country called Albania in the Caucasus, and if I'm not mistaken, Scotland has been called Albania too.
Well yeah but Albania (the name of our country) is actually derived from the Illyrian Tribe named "Albani" in Albanian: "Albanët". Today we in Albania don't even call our country Albania but "Shqipëria". Before the name Shqipëria (was first used in the 17th century), the nation used to be called "Arbëria (Tosk Dialect)/ Arbënia (Gheg Dialect). Therefore the first Albanian Principality in the 11th Century known as Principality of Arbanon/ in Albanian: Principata e Arbërit. This video also has a lot of misleading info. So don't take everything for granted.

Respect!!
I am semi convinced that Albanian and Romanian are connected. Both languages form definite nouns and plurals similarly. They even both have a ton of feminine nouns that end in ë in Albanian or ă in Romanian (both pronounced like "uh") and the definite forms change to end with a.
How could 2 distant languages in km have common words? The Vlach migration theory is false.
Were Ilyrians and Thracians the same thing?
Or are Albanians actually Thracians? If so Romanians should study more this language that was related to Dacian. And do we know if Albanian, Romanian and Aromanian share the same words?
@@aiurea1 Just because they're distant now doesn't mean they always were. I mean ancient Romanians spoke Latin and they were farther from Rome than Albania. And yes they do share some words on top of the shared grammar structure.
@@Skenderbeuismyhero I am Ro, true about Ro latinity, but until the language was formed from Rome to Romania Latin was spoken. Are those grammar rules present only to Albanian and Romanian? Or to the sourounding Slavics too?
@@aiurea1 Russian is the only slavic language I speak at all and Russian has no concept of definite or indefinite. So I assume that other slavic languages don't either. Albanian and Română are the only two I know of that have that specific formation of def./indef. but I'm not a professional linguist.
@@Skenderbeuismyhero thank you. If only Ro and Ab and Aro share this they certainly are related more then the Thraco-Ilyrian presumed connection.
Languages defined and define nations, they are very important for history
I'm in Wales (where I found your language vids #cool) and 'slowly slowly' is 'araf araf', sounds like 'avash avash' here 😆
'.... as they will survive anything on this planet'. What more wonderful way than that to describe this language and the people who speak it.
Challenge : Give us some etymological stuff from any language you will choose !
Your videos are extremely interesting, your passion for language shows greatly and makes your cuteness and exquisite beauty worth a celebration. I am your humble admirer and share your passion. Your english being very good there is no doubt you come from somewhere else. Where? Just curious. Deeply felt thanks and admiration. You make the world brighter and meaningful.

@@joshuddin897 someone else here said she's Slovenian? Did she mention in a video her nationality?
Nice video you are well informed :) talk about how we survived for so long...The last verses of the albanian national anthem that were taken out for some reason go something like
“ se vete zoti e ka thënë që
Kombe shuhen përmbi dhe
Po shqipëria do te rrojë
Për të për të luftojmë ne”
Rough translation ...
‘ god himself has told us
That nations (peoples)disappear from this earth
But albania shall live forever
So for her we fight on”
We plan on being around and annoy everyone else in the balkans for a very long time 😁✌🏻😝
Avash avash is not albanian, but turkish. The albanian word for it is "Ngadalë, Ngadalë" which means (Slowly, slowly). Please don't rush into stuff. You make people who have no idea about our language to take it for granted. Study the words first. Good day.
