I got couple of Albanian but I didn't know they were Albanian.

How do you say how are you?

[north_malaysian]

Teach us the pronounciation (on how to read Albanian) and some phrases pleeeeeeease!!!!!

And are the Tosk and Gheg dialects very different?

[Al-Zaara]

Asselamu aleykum wa rahmetallahu wa barakthu,

lol how do u actually pronounce tht ?

Bukuroshe = Bu; the u is pronounced like 'oo' in 'foot', or like 'u' in 'put'.

ku; same here for the u, k normal like in English. ro= 'r' in round the 'o' is like the o in 'ornament' or 'top'. she= 'she' like in 'sh'e, 'e' like 'tell'.

How do you say how are you?

Qysh je (ti)? How.are.(you).

Teach us the pronounciation (on how to read Albanian) and some phrases pleeeeeeease!!!!!

The Alphabet:

a, b, c, ç, d, dh, e, ë, f, g, gj, h, i, j, k, l, ll, m, n, nj, o, p, q, r, rr, s, sh, t, th, u, v, x, xh, y, z, zh.

b, d, f, g, h, k, l, m, n, p, r, s, t, v, z ... are all pronounced the same in English.

'g' is always pronounced like 'g' in 'great' or 'God'.

dh sounds like 'th' in the English word 'that'.

gj like 'j' in 'joy'

nj sounds like 'n' in 'new', or like the Spanish 'ñ'.[/b]

ll is like the English 'll' in 'allow'.

th is like the English 'th' in 'think'.

xh is like the English 'j' in 'joy'

zh is pronounced like French 'j' or like the English 's' in 'measure'.

ç sounds like 'ch' in 'child'. (this letter I myself usually write like a q in MSN)

ë sounds like 'u' in 'nurse' or in 'purse'. When in the end of a word, usually ignore it.

c sounds the same as 'ts'.

j like 'y' in 'yellow' (just like German 'j').

q is similar to 'gj' in that it is a palatal sound (it is pronounced with the tongue touching the palate). It sounds like a merger of Albanian sounds 't' and 'j' (see above). You can pronounce it like 'ç'.

x vowel sounds the same as 'dz' (merged in one). This sound is not found in English. Italian speakers will recognize that this sound is similar to their 'z' in 'azzurri'.

y is a vowel in Albanian. It is like French 'u' or German 'ü'. To pronounce it say 'ee' (as in sheep) and then round and pull forward your lips, sort of like whistling.

a is a vowel and is pronounced like 'a' in 'farm'.

e is a vowel and is pronounced like 'e' in 'tell'.

i ia a vowel and is pronounced like 'ee' in 'sheep', or like 'i' in 'hit'.

o is a vowel and is pronounced like 'o' in 'top'.

u is a vowel and is pronounced like 'oo' in 'foot', or like 'u' in 'put'.

Now if you have any specific phrase requests, do state them here. I'm too lazy to come up with own ones. :p

[Umm Yoosuf]

Jazakillahu Khayr.

How do you pronounce this :?

Qysh je (ti)? How.are.(you).

[Al-Zaara]

Wa iyyaki.

Qysh= q like child... y like in the German ü, is the only way I can best explain it... sh like shield. Try this: say 'ee' (as in sheep) and then round and pull forward your lips, sort of like whistling. :p You will get a similiar sound.

The Albanian ç or q (alternatively) sound: http://www.uiowa.edu/~acadtech/phonetics/# click on German. You should come to a place like this: (look at the top of the page, the stronger coloured tabs are the ones you click)

The German ü or Albanian y sound: http://www.uiowa.edu/~acadtech/phonetics/# click on German. -> Next pic. (same site) (the stronger coloured tabs are were you're suppoused to click to get there)

Je= J like in yellow and e like in tell.

[vpb]

How do you say how are you?

Si jeni? (proper albanian)
Qysh je? (slang.)

And are the Tosk and Gheg dialects very different?

not very much. (I think)

[Al-Zaara]

^^ True. That si is just like the Spanish si (=yes) to pronounce. :p


By the way, I dunno anything about those dialects, I think only Albanians from Albania can answer that (I myself am from Kosovo).

[vpb]

we (from Kosovo) have the Gheg dialect also the north part of Albania , the south part of Albania have the Tosk dialect (if i'm correct). but still myself i don't have problems understanding what people that speak Tosk are saying. It's not difficult.

[Al-Zaara]

Really? I've never seen a difference. Well, some talk very fast... But that's just me, not used to speak it with other people.

The Gheg dialect is better, brother north_malaysian. :p j/k

[vpb]

Really? I've never seen a difference. Well, some talk very fast... But that's just me, not used to speak it with other people.

i think it's more of the different pronunciations , that makes them look like they are different.

(limenk = kanaqe ) haha

[Al-Zaara]

i think it's more of the different pronunciations , that makes them look like they are different.

(limenk = kanaqe ) haha

Yes, true.

Kanaqe e di, ama kurr nuk e kum ni kit fjal limenk... Qka d.m.th?

[vpb]

Kanaqe e di, ama kurr nuk e kum ni kit fjal limenk... Qka d.m.th?

Paqja qoftë me ju!
Të dashur në Islam,

Zëri i Pendës Islame ka pranuar kërkesa prej vëllezërve e motrave në Islam, të cilët nuk e zotërojnë mirë gjuhën shqipe, po edhe prej jo shqipfolësve muslimanë, të cilëve u janë komunikuar këto artikuj, që shkrimet të përkthehen edhe në gjuhën angleze, pasi këtë gjuhë e zotërojnë pjesa dërmuese e muslimanëve.

Prandaj, ju lutemi, nëse gjuhën angleze e njehni mirë, kontribuoni në përkthimet e artikujve të vëllait Avni Tafili, që publikohen këtu në faqen – Zëri i Pendës Islame.

Allahu ju shpërbleftë për mundin tuaj në rrugën e Tij, dhe jua shtoftë etjen për dituri e punë të dobishme!

Paqja dhe begatitë e Allahut qofshin mbi ju!
Zëri i Pendës Islame
