This is nonsense, albanians were shorter during communist era but not so much anymore, height seems to be more related to nutrition than genetics. Anyway, visit berat or fier and you'll see some tall albaniansIt is not true that Albanians are short Mediterranean people
We have to distinguish between northern Albanian and southern Albanian or if you prefer gheg and tosk
While I don't have precise data regarding the height of southern and northern Albanian within Albania i could find the average height of Kosovara and Albanians
Kosovo average height ≈ 180
Albania average height ≈ 176,5
Even accounting for the slav population in Kosovo there is still a substantial difference in height between Albanians form Kosovo and Albania and Albanians form Kosovo are taller than Albanians form albania despite having less slav DNA
Berat has literally the shortest Albanians I’ve ever seen in my entire life. Fier isn’t that different but better due to the addition of non-local populations such as Labs, Chams, Kosovars, and people from Novi Pazar.
You must have visited 30 years ago or something after communism broke down and everyone was super poor. Visit now and see that the people are taller than your family.Dude, I live in Albania. Berat has literally the shortest people I’ve seen in Albania. Not among the shortest, THE SHORTEST.
I have nothing against you or Berat, no need to get defensive.
1. This is obviously a joke. We got it, you’re from Berat, the city of the shortest people in the Albania, Balkans, and possibly Europe.You must have visited 30 years ago or something after communism broke down and everyone was super poor. Visit now and see that the people are taller than your family.
Ive been visiting durres, berat and elbasan (and obviously tirane) recently and berat had the tallest people of the 3 on average (wont include tirane since its a capital city with people from everywhere)
Yeah keep trolling and staying in your home, youve obviously never visited berat. Since you care about religion you should visit berat as it has several of the oldest churches in albania from byzantine era, one is right next to Muzaka castle1. This is obviously a joke. We got it, you’re from Berat, the city of the shortest people in the Albania, Balkans, and possibly Europe.
2. 30 years ago I wasn’t even born.
3. They can’t be taller than my family because I’m a Catholic North-Western Albanian from the highlands. My family alone has a higher average than Montenegro and Herzegovina, because unlike most of our compatriots we’re well raised and well fed.
You like to use the word ‘trolling’ and ‘troll’ a lot but everyone can see that you’re the definition of it.Yeah keep trolling and staying in your home, youve obviously never visited berat.

Start visiting places in albania like i have and youll see that people from berat are taller than most other regions. Though like i said height will vary based on how well fed people are, most poor people will be short
Not true! And i doubt that you live in Albania. Stereotypically, the region with shortest population in South Albania is considered Mallakastra. But of course among them there are some short people like Kastriot Islami but there are some who are tall like Blendi Klosi. In North Albania those from Dibra are shorter compared to the rest of Northern Albania. I don't understand this your obsession with Berat but you are totally wrong!You like to use the word ‘trolling’ and ‘troll’ a lot but everyone can see that you’re the definition of it.
All I said was super simple, idiot-proof, factual, and straight to the point. I said I’m less than 30 years old, I said that I’m (even statistically) from a small region with very tall people (some of the tallest in Europe or the entire world), and that taking into consideration only my family (which is doing very well since the fall of communism) than the numbers will be even more skewed than my already very tall region, because nutrition hasn’t affected us negatively like many others.
So where do you see trolling? Or because you got offended about the average height?
Tosks have statistically and historically been the shortest in Europe. On top of it Berat and Myzeqe are even shorter than the average Tosk, not to mention how Labs are way taller to the point of being compared to Ghegs, many times taller than Ghegs too.
You can try to compete with Korca but even them have some pretty tall mountainous areas as well as I2a-Din so you’ll most probably lose there too.
Create your own League and compete with Fieri, Lushnja, and Skrapari.
So you opened an Eupedia account to send me 1 tall guy from a specific region with the hope to change my mind?Not true! And i doubt that you live in Albania. Stereotypically, the region with shortest population in South Albania is considered Mallakastra. But of course among them there are some short people like Kastriot Islami but there are some who are tall like Blendi Klosi. In North Albania those from Dibra are shorter compared to the rest of Northern Albania. I don't understand this your obsession with Berat but you are totally wrong!
P.S.
The guy in the video below is a lal, a myzeqar from Myzeqe region. His name was Aleksandër Kondo, a legend:
It’s idiotic to believe that your laser eyes can determine that Berat, which is few kilometers away from Ballsh, is 0.7cm taller where everyone in that region is more or less the same.Nobody told you that you should visit Ballsh. Just don't talk about things that you have no idea because it's.....IDIOTIC. So simple.
Confirmed troll, Berat is an uber albanian area with less crappy islamic names than most gheg regions. Berat has a lot of blonde/blue eyed people like my grandad (my cousins, aunts/uncle etc). On average there are more blonde/blue eyes albanians in berat or korce than north albanian regions. Slanted eyes/mongoloid? You must have run into a jevg or recent immigrant (post communism). Or do you mean eyes for example like ivan perisic - he has weird shaped eyes tooIt’s idiotic to believe that your laser eyes can determine that Berat, which is few kilometers away from Ballsh, is 0.7cm taller where everyone in that region is more or less the same.
It’s the same stock of people that brings down the average height of Tepelena and Vlora, especially lowlands. Otherwise Labs are quite tall.
Plus, is that area even 50% Albanian? It’s full of Vlachs, Slavic DNA, Mongoloid slanted eyes, and Anatolian complexion, you name it.
Albania is the latest country in europe to have long lasting communism which affected our parents heights therefore made them shorter than other people in europe. As for tosks being "short", its mostly the parents and grandparents - tosks were more in favour of communism than ghegs so they took it more seriously. Could be that ghegs didnt play by the same rules and fed their kids moreYou like to use the word ‘trolling’ and ‘troll’ a lot but everyone can see that you’re the definition of it.

You deserve to be ignored forever. You’re the Albanian version of torzio.Albania is the latest country in europe to have long lasting communism which affected our parents heights therefore made them shorter than other people in europe.

Could be that ghegs didnt play by the same rules and fed their kids more
Anyway, like i said height will vary across albania but there is no way berat is shortest on average. Ive visited durres + elbasan recently and berat men were taller
Where is your proof that labs are tall? Also it is the only region in albania that a small group of anatolians settled during ottoman era according to the memoirs of Gjon Muzaka from 1510
No, i am not talking about laser eye. I was talking about a stereotype. And I want to add that I live in Fier, a city with a population composed from people from different different regions of Albania. Meanwhile you are talking about an hypothetical personal experience when you visited South Albania. Following your logic, you are an idiot. Not only, but you are also an uneducated person because again using your "laser eye" technique, you are unjustly offending a large part of Albanians. Shame on you!It’s idiotic to believe that your laser eyes can determine that Berat, which is few kilometers away from Ballsh, is 0.7cm taller where everyone in that region is more or less the same.
