Vithkuqi

Przegląd Właściwości Lista Tabela

The Vithkuqi alphabet was created in the middle of the 19th century for writing the Albanian language. Its creator, Albanian Naum Veqilharxhi, named it after his hometown called Vithkuq. The alphabet is also known as Butakukye, a name given to it by Johann Georg von Hahn, a prominent German expert on Albanian culture of that time.

This script was designed to replace alphabets based on Arabic, Greek, or Latin scripts. That's why it didn't use their letters. Besides, it was intended to be free from any political or religious associations.

However, redesigning the glyphs proved to be too expensive for printers, and the alphabet did not gain popularity. There are some documents printed in Vithkuqi script. Anyway, in 1909 the Latin-script-based alphabet became the official script for the Albanian language, and Vithkuqi didn't take this position.
