frengjishtja

Frengjishtja is the Albanian name for the French language. It is a Romance language descended from Latin and part of the Gallo-Romance branch of the Indo-European language family. The standard form of frengjishtja is based largely on the Parisian variety, but many regional varieties exist, including Canadian French and forms spoken across Africa. French is one of the world’s major languages, with official status in France and in numerous countries across Europe, Africa, and the Americas, and it is widely used in diplomacy, education, media, science, and culture.

In Albania and among Albanian-speaking communities, frengjishtja has long been taught as a foreign language. It plays a role in higher education and cultural exchange, and there are established French-language institutions such as the Alliance Française in Tirana. French literature and media are available through translations, and knowledge of frengjishtja is valued in fields such as business, tourism, diplomacy, and international relations.
