"Gj"

[edit]

In Albania, the pronunciation of "Gj" is not like that of the "J" to "Jet", but rather a cross between the French "J" and Albanian, German, Scandinavian, Dutch or Slavic "J".

"Q"

[edit]

The "Q", in Albanian, is not pronounced like the English or Italian "Q", but has a particular sound, which is not present in any other language in the world, however, the German "-CH" is the sound that resembles more!

"Ëë"

[edit]

The pronunciation guide saying u in up or a in above makes no sense, the u in up is ʌ, the same sound as the o in above, whereas the a is ə - what is correct? —The preceding comment was added by Julian Andres Klode (talkcontribs)

I am sure the first statement is false, considering that the 'ë' in Albanian is pronounced as a schwa sound (ə), e.g. in English language, the 'a' in 'above'. In other words, the second statement is correct. Also, take into consideration that the 'ë' is mostly silent, especially at the end of a word. --Berishasinan (talk) 19:29, 5 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
