transmetohet në kohë pasuria e përbashkët kulturore e një populli, ruhen traditat dhe zhvillohet më tej kultura kombëtare, duke i dhënë edhe homogjenitetin e duhur bashkësisë etnike e kombëtare përkatëse. Për këtë arsye gjuha përbën elementin më të përdorur në identifikimin e popujve e të ndarjes së tyre gjeografike. (1).
Standard Albanian has 7 vowels and 29 consonants. Gheg uses long and nasal vowels which are absent in Tosk. Another peculiarity is the mid-central vowel "ë" reduced at the end of the word. The stress is fixed mainly on the penultimate syllable.
