Gjuhësh

Gjuhësh is the genitive plural form of the Albanian noun gjuhë, meaning languages in contexts that require the genitive case. It denotes “of languages” or refers to a group of languages in linguistic descriptions and classifications. The base noun gjuhë refers to a language or system of communication, and its genitive plural gjuhësh is formed with the suffix -ësh, a common ending for genitive plural forms in Albanian.

In usage, gjuhësh appears primarily in academic or encyclopedic writing to indicate languages as a category or as part of a relational expression. It can occur in phrases such as discussions of language families, diversity, or varieties, where the reference is to multiple languages rather than to a single language. It is not a standalone language or concept; rather, it is a grammatical form used to link or relate languages within a larger description.

Etymology and morphology: gjuhësh is derived from gjuhë plus the genitive plural suffix -ësh. This form contrasts with other cases and numbers of the noun and is one of several inflected forms Albanian employs to express possession, relation, or specification of nouns.
