Does Shqipify teach Gheg or Tosk?

Shqipify teaches Standard Albanian, which is based on the Tosk dialect. Standard Albanian is the form used in schools, books, newspapers, television, and official settings across Albania and Kosovo, so it is widely understood across Albania, Kosovo, and the diaspora.

Albanian has two major dialect groups: Gheg, spoken in the north (northern Albania, Kosovo, North Macedonia, and Montenegro), and Tosk, spoken in the south. When the modern standard language was formalised in 1972, it was built mainly on Tosk, which is why "Standard Albanian" and "Tosk-based" are often used interchangeably.

For a beginner, Standard Albanian is almost always the right starting point. Learn it first; you can pick up the specific features of Gheg later if you have ties to a region that speaks it.
