soc.culture.albanian
Albania and Albanians around the world.
Covering Albania, Kosovo and the Albanian diaspora, this group mixed language and folklore threads with intense political discussion — particularly during the 1997 unrest and the 1999 Kosovo war, when it became a live news channel for families abroad.
Its long-running debates on Albanian history and the standard vs. Gheg/Tosk dialect question are still cited in language forums.
