November 22, Day of the Alphabet of the Albanian Language

November 22 marks the Day of the Alphabet of the Albanian Language. The government a year ago made the decision to call November 22 an official holiday.

The Monastir Congress or Alphabet Congress was an academic conference in the city of Monastir, between November 14 - November 22, 1908, for the standardization of the alphabet of the Albanian language.

The participants in the congress were prominent figures of the Albanian cultural and political life. 50 delegates were called, representatives of twenty-three cities inhabited by Albanians, cultural and patriotic societies, thirty-two of whom had the right to vote and eighteen observers. Among the most prominent delegates were Gjergj Fishta, Mit'hat Frashëri, Sotir Peci, Ndre Mjeda, Shahin Kolonja, Bajo Topulli, Parashqevi Qiriazi, Fehim Zavalani. The other delegate from the Zavalani family was Izet Zavalani, representative of Follorina. The owner of the house, Fehim Zavalani, gave the opening speech.

The Congress of Manastir was the most important event of the Albanian people at the beginning of the 20th century, where as a result of this work, on November 28, 1912, the independence of Albania was announced./ CNA
