Abstract

Prishtina's Language Consultancy (Prishtina, April 22-23, 1968) was a wide gathering of Albanian linguists and intellectuals from Kosovo, Macedonia and other Albanian territories in the former Yugoslavia, where they discussed the Spelling rules (project), drafted a year before (1967) in Tirana and released for public discussion. In this Consultancy, as it was called, organized by the Albanological Institute of Prishtina and the Department of Albanian Language and Literature of the Faculty of Philosophy, after a broad and general debate, it was decided that the Albanians in Yugoslavia would use the same language and spelling, in their public life, as the one used in the mother country, in the Republic of Albania. The aim of this paper is to highlight the Prishtina Language Consultancy, which, as such can be said to have preceded the Congress of Orthography, which would be held four years later in Tirana (November 1972), in which a complete unification of the Albanian literary language was reached. Viewed from this aspect, it can be said that Prishtina's Consultancy is a major event for Albanian language and Albanian culture in general.
