Tosk Albanian

Census

peakers of Tosk Albanian varieties, from southern areas of the Albanian-speaking world including Albania's capital city Tirana, often live near Gegs but also have a significant concentration in Brooklyn neighborhoods from Flatbush to Bensonhurst and in New Jersey. As with Geg Albanian speakers, they are often proficient in Italian for historical reasons and have settled in New York neighborhoods with high concentrations of ethnic Italians. Many likewise came during the breakup of the former Yugoslavia and the wars that followed, but a smaller group, primarily Christian, came in the first half of the 20th century.
