“How do you think, ‘blessed ones’, that with the political decisions of a perverse communist like Enver Hoxha, you will change the Albanian national identity…”?! / Reflections of the famous publicist

By Filip Guraziu

The infamous communist spelling congress in 1972, how the Gheg language was eliminated! Evolution forces a review of the decision of the political-linguistic congress! –

Memorie.al / The only argument, the only defense for not reviewing the language standard, politically decided by the Enverist communists in 1972, which is today being used by the so-called patriots who, in the foreground (allegedly) place the unification of Albanians, has remained the accusation of “national division of Albanians”, with which they anathematize all those people who raise their voices in defense of the mother tongue, Gheg.

Is this kind of behavior a mistake or demagogy?

Starting from the lack of reason with which the argument of the anathema against the followers of the Ghegnishta is built, it seems that they are “sour” in their psyche, but if we “dig a little deeper”, we can conclude that there is actually a large number of accusers who use the same accusation (national division…) and in this case, reason tells us that they cannot all be psychologically mistaken, which side of the scale is demagogy, because the truth is different…, but as the Albanian Language Dictionary explains, the word demagogy:

“Deception of the working masses, luring them with beautiful words and false promises, to make them their own for certain political purposes and goals; the attitude of two-faced politicians, who speak differently and act differently; beautiful and empty words that are intended to cover up and distort the truth. Political demagogy (bourgeois, revisionist). Subtle demagogy, Church (clergy) demagogy” Do you see where we are, dear readers? With these communist convictions, the new generation is being educated, with these communist convictions we want to become part of the European Union!

Let us not forget that it is precisely those “intellectuals” who condemned Ghegnishte in 1972 and who built the “Dictionary of the Modern Albanian Language”, on the communist ideological principle of class struggle (as I said) with only 40,000 words (!), who today shout, scream and anathematize anyone who demands their legitimate right, for the preservation of the Albanian national identity, for the preservation of the mother tongue, Ghegnishte.

Why have you, oh “pseudo patriots of Albanian national unity”, never said a word, never demonstrated concern for the deep Albanian national division caused by the (infamous communist) Congress of the Law of 1972, eliminating the Ghegnish language spoken by 2/3 of Albanians?! How is it that according to you, Ghegnish is not an Albanian cultural asset? The Albanian of the Arbnore Mountains, which symbolically represents the “Albanian Identity”, has two wings; Ghegnish and Tosknish, the wounding of one wing brings “Albania” to the ground.

Why don’t you want to understand that only with Tosknish there can be no “Albanian Identity”, that is, true spiritual unity? The principle of proletarian internationalism has been so deeply ingrained in your soul that it does not allow you to understand that a people without a “National Identity” is destroyed, cannot exist?

How do you think, oh “blessed ones”, that with political decisions of a perverse communist like Enver Hoxha, you will change the Albanian national identity?! Do you remember the Enverist decision to eliminate religious beliefs in Albania in 1967? What happened after 1990?

Albanians today are many times more religious than before 1967. This fate will also befall the other absurd communist decision of 1972, to eliminate the Ghegnish language. The facts speak for themselves; whether you like it or not, today hundreds and hundreds of people write prose and poetry in Ghegnish and millions of others speak it in society and in families…!

Gather your mind, oh “Don Quixote” based in the Academy, at least get to work, that part of your brain that may have remained unideologized, move away from ideological fanaticism and reason; “National Identity and Albanianism” weigh many times more than your ideological formation which inspires you with hatred for any value of the Ghegs.

Albanian brothers from wherever you are; understand once and for all that none of us seeks the division of the Albanians, but the true unity; their spiritual unity. By appreciating the Gheg, we value and consolidate the “Albanian Identity” and cement that deep unity of the Albanians that that political congress created.

Before you react, you should always remember that:

1. 70% of Albanians speak Ghegnish.
2. Homer also spoke Ghegnish (The works of the legendary Homer, written about 2600 years ago, contain more Ghegnish words than today’s Greek!)
3. Ghegnish is the founder of the “Albanian National Identity”, the Albanian National Hero, Gjergj Kastrioti Skanderbeg.
4. The first Albanian writing, “Formula of Baptism” (Mr. Pal Engjelli, 1467), is documented in Ghegnish.
5. The history of writing an Albanian book begins in Ghegnish (Dom. Gjon Buzuku, 1555).
6. The first novel in the Albanian language, “Çeta e profetëve” (Pjeter Bogdani, 17th century), was written in Ghegnish.
7. From the Ghegnish writers who write the history of the legendary Gjergj Kastrioti, the siege of Shkodra by the Turks, etc. (Marin Barleti, Marin Beçikemi, Frang Bardhi), the world learned about the values ​​of the Albanian nation.
8. Gegnisht is the written “Lahuta e malcisë”, the epic masterpiece of Albanian and European literature by the national poet At Gjergj Fishta.
9. The nightingale of Albanian poetry Dom Ndre Mjeda, Gegnisht sang of Albanian nature.
10. Gegnisht were the first translations of world literary masterpieces by translators; Gjon Shllaku, Pashko Gjeçi, Gulielm Deda, Henrik Lacaj.
11. Gegnisht has been written by; Pashko Vasa, Filip Shiroka, Kostandin Kristofotidhi, Dom. Anton Zanoni, Dom Ndoc Nikaj, At Shtjefen Gjeçovi, Imz. Vincens Prendushi, Hilë Mosi, Luigj Gurakuqi, Pader Justin Rrota, Pader Anton Harapi, Migjeni, Pader Benardin Palaj, Zef Curani, Ernest Koliqi, Martin Camaj, Et’hem Haxhiademi, Murat Toptani, Josif Bageri, Risto Siliqi, Haki Sharofi, Haxhi Ibrahim Dalliu, Mustafa Greblleshi, Dom Lazer Shantoja, Dom Ndre Zadeja, Zef Pali, Sami Repishti, Pader Donat Kurti, Injac Zamputi, Kolë Ashta, Kolë Kamsi, Arshi Pipa, Qemal Draçini, Hamit Gjylbegu, Pader Zef Pllumi, At Konrad Gjolaj, Monsignor Frano Illia, Monsignor Zef Simoni, Pader Meshkalla, Havzi Nela, Simon Rrota, Emidio Tedeschini, Zef Benussi, Zef Zorba, Ahmet Bushati, Lec Shllaku, Andrea Shkanjeti, Ernest Pikolini, Gjovalin Zeza, etc., etc.

I left it for last, because it has a special value, but do not forget the Albanian brotherhood, because the Mother I know in the world, the mother of all poor people, wherever they are, is the Albanian Mother Teresa of Ghegnija…!

We could continue until tomorrow, demonstrating the values ​​of Ghegnija and the cultural contribution of the Ghegnijas in the field of culture and sports, as well as for their activity in the consolidation of the Albanian country, but I find it appropriate to end these lines, expressing my deep gratitude and maximum appreciation for all those Albanians of origin from the south of Albania, who with their Tosknishta, contributed so much not only to the Albanian of today, but also to the cultural consolidation and Albanian identity, as well as to the progress of Albanian society, regardless of the south or the north.

Linguistic evolution requires and forces the revision of the language of a people, world experience confirms this action, only materialist Albanian academics act contrary to their convictions, they do not accept the evolution of the language, as a result, even after 52 years, and they do not accept the revision of the decisions of the political linguistic congress of 1972!

There can be no Albanian identity, eliminating Tosknish.

There can be no Albanian Identity, eliminating Ghegnish.

The above, ORDERS the revision of the standard language with the objective of the most optimal interweaving of Tosknish, with Ghegnish.

Together, therefore, Tosk and Gheg, as in the poetry of the great Father. Gjergj Fishta, with the help of the rule of law, where “Albanianism” should be at the top of the list, we will enable the flourishing of the country of Albanians. AMEN./ Memorie.al
