The Albanian language has been written using many alphabets since the earliest records from the 15th century. The earliest written Albanian records come from the Gheg area in makeshift spellings based on Italian or Greek. The Tosk dialect was written in the Greek alphabet and the Gheg dialect was written in the Latin script. Both dialects had also been written in the Ottoman Turkish version of the Arabic script. The writers from northern Albania and under the influence of the Catholic Church used Latin letters, those in southern Albania and under the influence of the Greek Orthodox church used Greek letters, while others throughout Albania and under the influence of Islam used Arabic letters. <ref>Wikipedia contributors, "Albanian language," in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia'', https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albanian_language#:~:text=Orthography, accessed 21 Jul 2021.</ref> | The Albanian language has been written using many alphabets since the earliest records from the 15th century.
