Albania 
/ælˈbeɪniə/ (help·info) (Albanian: Shqipëri/Shqipëria, Gheg Albanian: Shqipnia or Shqypnia), officially the Republic of Albania (Albanian: Republika e Shqipërisë, pronounced [ɾɛpuˈblika ɛ ʃcipəˈɾiːs]), is a Mediterranean country in South Eastern Europe. It is bordered by Montenegro to the northwest, Kosovo[a] to the northeast, Macedonia to the east and Greece to the south and southeast. It has a coast on the Adriatic Sea to the west, and on the Ionian Sea to the southwest. It is less than 72 km (45 mi) from Italy, across the Strait of Otranto which links the Adriatic Sea to the Ionian Sea.
The Albanian Byzantine Catholic Church is an autonomous (in Latin, sui iuris)) Byzantine Rite particular Church in communion with Rome, whose members live in Albania. It is not to be confused with the Italo-Albanian Catholic Church.
The Autocephalous Orthodox Church of Albania (Albanian: Kisha Orthodhokse Autoqefale e Shqipërisë) is one of the newest autocephalous Eastern Orthodox churches. It became autocephalous in 1937, gaining, thus, recognition by the Patriarch of Constantinople.Albanians in Greece are divided into distinct communities as a result of different waves of migration. Albanians first migrated into Greece during Middle Ages, which is also when they appear in the historical record. The descendants of populations of Albanian origin who settled in Greece during the Middle Ages are the Arvanites, who have fully assimilated into the Greek nation and self-identify as Greeks, although they still maintain their distinct dialect of Tosk Albanian known as Arvanitika. The Cham Albanians are a group that also migrated to Greece during the Middle Ages and formerly inhabited parts of the region of Epirus, in northwestern Greece. Muslim Chams were expelled from Epirus during World War II after large parts of their population collaborated with the Axis occupation forces, while Greek Orthodox Chams remained in Greece and have assimilated into the Greek nation. Alongside these two groups, a large wave of economic migrants from Albania entered Greece after the fall of Communism and forms the largest expatriate community in the country.
The cuisine of Albania, as with most Mediterranean and Balkan nations, is strongly influenced by its long history. The food of Albania has been influenced by the cuisines of Ottoman Turks, Greeks, and Italians.The Albanian diaspora encompasses Albanians outside of Albania and Kosovo. The greatest concentratinos are found in Turkey, Macedonia, Montenegro, Greece and Italy. There are also smaller communities in Austria, Canada, France, Romania, Belgium, Russia, Scandinavia, Switzerland, Ukraine, UK and the USA.Albanian (Gjuha shqipe, pronounced [ˈɟuha ˈʃcipɛ] or shqip, pronounced [ˈʃcip]) is an Indo-European language spoken by nearly 6 million people,[1] primarily in Albania and Kosovo but also in other areas of the Balkans in which there is an Albanian population, including western Macedonia, Montenegro, and southern Serbia. Albanian is also spoken by native enclaves in Greece, along the eastern coast of southern Italy, and in Sicily. Additionally, speakers of Albanian can be found elsewhere throughout the latter two countries resulting from a modern diaspora, originating from the Balkans, that also includes Scandinavia, Switzerland, Germany, United Kingdom, Turkey, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States. An estimated 2 million Albanians are believed to be the total of the diaspora concentrated mostly in Western Europe and North America.
