Description: Dialects of the Albanian language. The map does not indicate where the language is majority or minority and shows "Cham" & "Arvanitika" as dialects, but in Greece the "Τσάμηδες" are the muslim Albanians from Epirus, "Αρβανίτες" the christian Albanians from central Greece, and "Aλβανοί" the citizens of Albania. The map is not perfect and has small errors (concerning the Italo-Albanians, not present in the lower tip of Calabria) and in the distribution of the Albanian language in the Balkans (also in northern Kosovo it is spoken, although there is a Serbian-Slavic minority; while the Albanian linguistic zones in Sicily and Campania in Italy, in Epiro Cham, and in Serbia, are wider.)
