Abstract

Balkan area is a bridge where oriental culture meets with the Europe and at the same time a place of the coexistence of these two main cultures and civilizations of the mankind. The coexistence of the oriental and occidental cultures in the Balkans has also a long history of interaction and reciprocity and it can serve as a real paradigm for multicultural and civilization building approaches. The Albanian language and Albanians as they converted into Islam and the inclusion in the Ottoman civilization have been into a direct relation with the philosophy and terminology of the Arab-Ottoman language. Because of this, the Arab language has significantly affected the Albanian language on one hand, and on the other hand, the philosophic and cultural terms have affected the building of the civilizational and cultural outlook of Albanians. This study aims at presenting some examples, with a special emphasis on language, regarding the coexistence of Arabic in Albanian language and culture through descriptive method, comparison and interpretation. There is no doubt that language is one of the basic elements of interaction and cultural influence. Such is the case of the Arabic language in the Balkans, in particular, in Albanians.
