Please don't mention the media... Fieraku (FaNoli). They are the main ones using the Albanian language as a punchbag to stamp foreign words. This is something very stupid I heard on Top Channel " Kan zgjeruar Ekspansionin (expansion). I know for a fact that the made up word "Ekspansion" does not even exist in the Albanian dictionary and Zgjerim and expansion means the same thing so they just made a double blow to their proffesional level of journalism. Matter of a fact is that they have been taking too many ideas from Greeks and Italians and now they try to be " modern " by making stupid mistakes. Top Channel, Top Albania Radio.. Top this, Top that.... Its very stupid and childish. I just don't like how they go on about their stupid website being the most visited by Albanians and boast about eveyrhthing. Euughh I can't bear that stupid channel... I would rather be watching parliament sessions... that says something!

Its one of the biggest misconceptions that Ghegs were Catholics and Tosks Orthodox. In fact it was neither one really. Albanians were not officially a part of any church and did not have one of their own. Many of them switched according to the necessity of the times. Scanderbeg came from a family that was Orthodox Gheg family but eventually aligned with a more Catholic church. By the 15th century, Durres and Shkoder were clearly dominated by Venetian and probably a strong mix of Catholic-Orthodox, outside it would probably have been very ambiguous, It's interesting that the only two places conversions to Islam happend on such a big scale were Bosnia and Albania, where in both places the people weren't particularly hardcore in any religion (cuz of isolation due to terrain) and the Orthodox and Catholic church kept coming in to compete for the people.

That is so true and one of the few things that make me wanna shoot at my TV when I watch Top-Channel. My pet peeve is the word "startoj" when "filloj" has been used for generations. This whole thing started in the mid-90's. Don't have an explanation for it other than other Albanians wanting to be snobs and use as many foreign words as possible.

If I want to speak in a tosk style, I very much doubt anyone can tell I am from Kosovo. Its very possible for me to do it because I have generally grown up with the Standard Albanian language at school since the age of 6 and I always used to watch TVSH as a child because we used to get the signal and I could not understand the Serbian channels so that was the only choice because the Serbian terrorists got rid of RTP just after I was born I think. Im not exactly sure when.
