This work addresses the historical development of the Albanian
language from prehistoric times to the 21st century. The main focus
of the book is the reconstruction of Proto-Albanian, the analysis
of its relations to its ancestor, Indo-European, and its further
change leading to Albanian in its present form. The volume contains
a detailed description of historical phonetics and morphology of
Albanian. The reader will also find important data on the Albanian
vocabulary in its historical development. Together with the
author's "Albanian Etymological Dictionary", the work can be used
as a research tool for Albanologists, Balkanologists and historical
linguistics.
