GERMAN ALBANOLOGIST GUSTAV MEYER ON THE ALBANIAN LANGUAGE

Abstract

In the context of various scholars dealing with the problem of the Albanian language, it is clear that the German scholar Gustav Meyer occupies a special place. In this paper we will address the contribution of this scholar, especially in defending the thesis on the origin of the Albanian language from Illyrian and its position it holds in the Indo-European language family. We will also address Meyers contribution to etymological studies, and the development of Albanian grammar history, etc., thus trying to give a full picture of the contribution of this scholar in the field of Albanology in general, and in that of Albanian folklore in particular.
