Gjuha Shqipe është Një E Mirë Kombëtare
Abstract
The purpose of the evaluative article is to support the scientific and national position of the language scholar Rami Memushaj. In the book "The Albanian Language on Procrustean Bed", 2013, he took the responsibility of leading the defenders of the Albanian language, especially in support of the decisions of the Orthography Congress and the standard language in general. Memushaj urges the new generation of linguists, writers, translators, editors and journalists, ℓ not to allow "some linguists with a dialect ear and a localist mindset" to turn standard Albanian "into a bastard Albanian". It is asserted with facts that the Albanian language already has orthography and spelling, which were achieved after several successful stages. The Manastir Congress closed the first stage, paving the way for the stage of common Albanian. The Congress also took responsibility for the Arbëresh area. After the Liberation, the Dictionary of the Albanian Language (1954) was published, which was compiled by a commission of four Ghegs and one Tosk, but was written in the southern literary variant, contributing to making this variant, without any decree, the official language of the Albanian state. The Prishtina Consultation of April 1968 followed this path, whose motto, as Ali Hadri formulated it, was: "One nation — one literary language, one spelling." Tirana, despite the deep political and ideological disagreements of the time between Albania and Yugoslavia, responded with the great project of the Orthography Congress, which was preceded by the discussion of the "Rules of Albanian Orthography" (1967). With A. Pipa's book "Language Policy in Socialist Albania" (1989), Memushaj emphasizes, where it is concluded that the standard language is "provincial linguistic colonization", because it was carried out "with revolutionary dictates", disputes began. They are not infrequently felt even today. Linguist Qemal Murati notes, "they are not worried about the language, but about the national rift ..." The scientific positioning through numerous publications, after the 2013 book, proves the principled and national stance of the scholar Memushaj. He received positive results in the year of the Albanian language 2024 when the achievements in the consolidation of the standard Albanian language stood out.
