The Gheg dialect is one of the two main dialects of the Albanian language, primarily spoken in northern Albania and parts of Kosovo. It is characterized by distinct phonetic and grammatical features that set it apart from the Tosk dialect, the other major dialect of Albanian. Gheg speakers often use different vocabulary and expressions, reflecting regional culture and history. Gheg is notable for its rich oral tradition, including folk songs and stories that have been passed down through generations. The dialect plays a crucial role in the identity of the Gheg people, contributing to their unique cultural heritage within the broader Albanian community.
