Abstract

The regional dialects are not all equally oriented toward the standard language. The orientation towards the prestige
language is appropriated to the life of each of the dialects. The more the gap between the standard language (the general
Albanian) and the provincial dialects, a side or of the Diaspora in general, the greater become the semantic differences, thus
increasing the difficulty in communication. What attracted us most is the pace of change.A considerable weight in developing
and changing all linguistic varieties have mainly the extra lingual factors. There are these factors that make some of the dialect
have the development towards general Albanian slower in comparison with other dialects. A typical example of dialects to
consider is the psychological factor as well, which relates to the cause of the displacement of these populations with the same
fate, is not the same, but determines them the same. Privilege for such dialect is the fact that they are innovative and
conservative at the same time, so there is a convergent relation between the new and the old generations. On the other hand,
this relationship is never seen outside the report provincial culture- civic culture, as language itself can not be seen outside the
report language - culture, language - thought. So the starting point for all problems in sociolinguistic perspective is the way these
communities are integrated within the host communities.
