TO: UTC and WG2 FROM: Deborah Anderson, Script Encoding Initiative, UC Berkeley and Jason Glavy DATE: 30 September 2009 RE: Old Albanian Scripts

This document lists the glyphs for three Old Albanian scripts, based on a font by Jason Glavy. (The order and names are tentative only and will likely need to be modified from that presented below. Some variants with -2, -3, etc. after their names may be eligible for unification.) The final page (page 10) includes a codechart with the three scripts, meant as a general visual aide only; the order is different from that given below.

These include: 1. “Büthakukye” (Note: the name may be an error for the script created by Naum Veqilharxhi, cited in Elsie) 2. “Elbasan” or “Todhri” (Elsie) 3. Gjirokastër or Veso Bey The glyphs were created solely by Jason Glavy.

The glyphs were based primarily on those presented in the following reference works:

J.G. von Hahn – Albanische Studien Von Hahn – Zeitschrift der Dutschen Morgenländischen Gesellschaft XVII (pp. 840-867) Hans Jensen – Sign, Symbol and Script (pp. 503-507) Robert Elsie – The Elbasan Gospel Manuscript, 1761, and the struggle for an original Albanian alphabet (online PDF) Carl Faulmann – Schriftzeichen und Alphabete (pp. 181-182) Rexhep Qosja – Ëvetari (1845) i Naum Veqilharxhit document i rëndësishëm i rilindjes kombëtare (pp. 217-240) Dhimitër S. Shuteriqi – Shkrimet shqipe në vitet 1332-1850
