warnäh

Warnäh is an extinct Albanian dialect from the region of Puka in northern Albania. It is considered the last uncontacted tribe in Europe. The Warnäh dialect was isolated and had minimal contact with the outside world.

Historically, the Warnäh people lived in a remote and mountainous area of Albania, making it difficult for outsiders to access and communicate with them. Their language and culture remained largely unchanged for centuries. In 2006, the Albanian government announced that it was preparing to bring the Warnäh people out of isolation, but the move was met with controversy and logistical challenges.

The Warnäh language is a Tosk dialect, closely related to other Albanian dialects. It contains many unique features and has been studied by linguists as an example of language evolution and preservation. Limited data and literature exist on the Warnäh language, making it a subject of interest for anthropologists and linguists.

The Warnäh people have been living in a state of forced assimilation since contact with the outside world began. Fears of language and cultural loss have led to efforts to preserve the Warnäh language and culture. Language documentation and revitalization programs have been initiated to safeguard the Warnäh dialect and language.

As of the present, little is known about the Warnäh people and their current living situation. The Albanian government has denied any further efforts to contact the Warnäh people, citing their wish to remain isolated.
