Albanian exonyms
Encyclopedia
Many places have exonyms, names for places that differs from that used in the official or well-established language within that place, in the Albanian language. This article attempts to give all known different Albanian
exonyms for all major cities and regions as well as some smaller towns that are important because of their location or history.
Albanian has a relatively small number of true exonyms in areas beyond the current borders of Albania
and Kosovo
, mostly in neighboring countries, and those are listed here.
Cities are grouped by country and then listed alphabetically by their current best-known name in English. The English version is followed by Albanian variants in order of significance. A blue asterisk generally indicates the availability of an Albanian Wikipedia
article for that city under that name which may also provide additional reference for the equivalence. Any other equivalents without further footnotes should be viewed with caution.

and indefinite forms. These forms are created with postpositions to the placename.
When using English or another foreign language, Albanians tend to use the definite form but on road signs and other similar usage, the indefinite form is used because there is an implied preposition në, meaning "to" or "in", which is followed by the indefinite. Maps, especially those produced in Albania, consistently use the indefinite form.
The two forms are applied differently depending on grammatical gender
of the word. "Recommended international usage for Albanian toponyms" in Kosovo has feminine place names appearing in the definite form and masculine place names in the indefinite form. However, in Albania, English usage is of the indefinite for both feminine and masculine placenames except for the capital, Tirana
. Thus the following usage in English with the preferred form in bold and link to the respective article:
Since Albanian exonyms by nature are rarely seen in English texts, there are no strict rules as to which is the "correct" form for places outside of Albania and Kosovo. When available, both are given with the indefinite followed by the definite separated by a slash
(stroke, i.e. "/").
