Thank you for answering, I guess it's just nonsense then.

its not 100% nonsense its picking up on indigenous south european markers. But there is no specificity yet hence why many albanians get "greek/italian" which misleads the public that doesnt know better

Rose Wilder Lane was shortly to move on from the refugee camp that she was visiting in Shkodra when a fellow American Red Cross worker, Frances Hardy, persuaded her to join a small party which was about to embark on an expedition to the northern Albanian mountains to set up schools. “Constantinople’s nothing. Everyone goes to Constantinople. But if you don’t see Albania, you’re wasting the chance of a lifetime. Up in those mountains – right up there in those mountains, a day’s journey from here – the people are living as they lived twenty centuries ago, before the Greek or the Roman or the Slav was ever known. There are prehistoric cities up there, old legends, songs, customs that no one knows anything about. No stranger’s ever even seen them. Great Scott, woman! And you sit there and talk about Constantinople!” “But if nobody goes there, how can we do so?” I said. “How does anyone ever do anything? Simply do it. Hire horses, get on them, and go.” “Carrying our own guns?” “Oh, we’ll be safe enough! We may run into a blood feud or two, and get our guides shot up, but nobody ever harms a woman. Nobody even shoots a man in her presence.”

“Mbase jam e marrë. Po të jesh sigurt se ai që e sheh një herë Shqipërinë, më s’e harron dot, dhe është e pamundurë që të mos e dojë”
