"NOTE ON PRINCE LOUIS-LUCIEN BONAPARTE
PUBLICATIONS
Prince Louis-Lucien Bonaparte, the son of Lucien, second
brother of Napoleon, was keenly interested in philology and
especially in the dialects of Europe. During the middle of the
19th century he had translated and published at his own expense
portions of the Bible in more than sixty dialects of
English,
French,
Italian,
Spanish,
Portuguese, and in the languages of
Russia. In
most of these publications, the Song of Solomon or St. Matthew
was the portion selected, printed singly or with other portions.
They were published in limited editions of 250 copies or less.
Traditionally, these dialects have been included in bibliographies
of this type, even though some have disputed their inclusion as
being more germane to antiquarian interest than to linguistic or
my. record. They are included here primarily as represent-
ing the only printed examples of dialects now in disuse, or as
first portions of Scriptures in certain languages, and as such are
listed in the historic language count kept by the United
Bible
Societies. All these publications have been designated
‘Bonaparte’
with referral to this page for notation." --1000 Tongues, 1972

Albanian: Gheg...
"Albania is spoken by about 1.5 million inhabitants
of Albania,
by another million in adjacent Greece and Yugoslavia, southern
Italy, and Sicily, and by almost
100,000 in the United States. In
the mountainous Adriatic nation that was once Illyria, Albanians
speak a language thought to be a form of an earlier language once
common to the Illyrian tribes, although there is scant proof of
the derivation. The dialects of Albanian are, nonetheless, gener-
ally classed with the extinct Illyrian and Thracian tongues in the
Thraco-Illyrian language group, the smallest (numerically) sub-
group of the Indo-European language family.
Known as Shkip, Albanian is spoken in two main dialects, Gheg
in northern Albania and Tosk in the south, the Shkumbi River
serving as a general dividing line. The Albanian dialects of Italy
are most closely related to Tosk.
Although three different forms of writing were in local use in
Albania during the 19th century, a Roman alphabet was officially
adopted in 1908. It was generally replaced the modified
Greek
character that was once employed, especially for Tosk." --1000 Tongues,
