The Albanian alphabet consists of 36 letters and is based on the Latin script. It includes unique characters such as ç, ë, and ş, which represent specific sounds in the Albanian language. The alphabet was officially standardized in 1908, helping to unify the language across different regions of Albania and Kosovo. Each letter in the Albanian alphabet corresponds to a single sound, making pronunciation straightforward. The alphabet is divided into vowels and consonants, with 7 vowels and 29 consonants. This phonetic nature aids learners in reading and writing, contributing to the language's accessibility.
