    Like a mix between Turkish and Romanian.
    Even tough it's not Latin influenced it does sound a little(maybe because of the exorcist voice )

    It sounds a mix between a Slavic language, Romanian and Turkish to my uneducated ears but I can see the words which show me that it's a completely different language.



    Wake up and smell the coffee.

    It doesn't sound very Turkish to me, more like Romanian.

    I think it's an attractive language

    This is the Shkodra dialect, a very clean and complete version of Alb which was also official before 1945. You should hear some guys from Kuksi or Tropoja,
