RE: Old Albanian Scripts
This document lists the glyphs for three Old Albanian scripts, based on a font by Jason Glavy. (The order
and names are tentative only and will likely need to be modified from that presented below. Some
variants with -2, -3, etc. after their names may be eligible for unification.) The final page (page 10)
includes a codechart with the three scripts, meant as a general visual aide only; the order is different
from that given below.
These include:
1. Bthakukye
(Note: the name may be an error for the script created by Naum Veqilharxhi, cited in Elsie)
2. Elbasan or Todhri (Elsie)
3. Gjirokastr or Veso Bey
The glyphs were created solely by Jason Glavy.
The glyphs were based primarily on those presented in the following reference works:
J.G. von Hahn Albanische Studien
Von Hahn Zeitschrift der Dutschen Morgenlndischen Gesellschaft XVII (pp. 840-867)
Hans Jensen Sign, Symbol and Script (pp. 503-507)
Robert Elsie The Elbasan Gospel Manuscript, 1761, and the struggle for an original Albanian
alphabet (online PDF)
Carl Faulmann Schriftzeichen und Alphabete (pp. 181-182)
Rexhep Qosja vetari (1845) i Naum Veqilharxhit document i rndsishm i rilindjes kombtare
(pp. 217-240)
Dhimitr S. Shuteriqi Shkrimet shqipe n vitet 1332-1850
