November 22

The Day of the Albanian Alphabet commemorates the historic Congress of Monastir held in 1908, where Albanian intellectuals standardized the Latin-based alphabet. This event strengthened Albanian national identity and facilitated literacy and education in the Albanian language. Celebrations include cultural performances, educational workshops, and public gatherings across Albania and in Albanian communities worldwide. Schools often host exhibitions showcasing the development of the Albanian script and its role in preserving cultural heritage. The day serves as a tribute to the unity and resilience of the Albanian people in protecting their linguistic legacy.
