Albanian

People of Albanian culture from Albania and the surrounding area.

The Albanian language belongs to a separate group within the Indo-European family and has an estimated 3–4 million speakers. There are both Christian and Muslim Albanians, the latter having been converted by the Ottoman Turks. Albanians comprise the majority of the Kosovo region in Serbia and have been in conflict with the Serbs, for whom the province is historically and culturally significant.
