- Abstract
Kuvendi i Arbënit gathered by the order of Pope Clement XI, 14-15 january in 1703, is an important event in the history of Catholic Church in Albania. The decisions taken at this convention are known through the acts published first in Latin and then in Albanian in 1706. The Albanian text is considered as an important source to study the history of written Albanian especially at the beginning of XVIII century. It is not only a religious text, but also a text in which we can make several linguistic observations. In this study the author aims to highlight the main features in phonetic level in the Albanian text, comparing these features with the ones of other books written before our text, such as Meshari of Buzuku, Cuneus prophetarum of Pjetër Bogdani etc. The main phenomena which will be object of our study are: the distinction between short and long vowels; the existence and the usage of diphthong ue, typical of gegë dialect; the preservation of the groups of consonants mb,nd, ng, the passage of kl,gl into Id,gi etc. Through this text we have the possibility to elucidate the evolution of Albanian language, pointing out at the same time other linguistic values presenting a stable language which is closer to modem Albanian.
