Albanian is the official language of Albania and Kosovo, with around 7.5 million speakers across the western Balkans plus diaspora communities. It's a distinct Indo-European branch — not Slavic, not Romance, not Germanic. In the United States the Albanian-American community is concentrated in the Bronx, Detroit (specifically Hamtramck and the surrounding area), and Worcester, Massachusetts. Our Albanian translation work is dominated by USCIS asylum and family-reunification cases tied to the 1990s Balkan conflicts, plus the civil documents required for the steady ongoing flow of Albanian and Kosovar immigration.
