peakers of Tosk Albanian varieties, from southern areas of the Albanian-speaking world including Albania's capital city Tirana, often live near Gegs but also have a significant concentration in Brooklyn neighborhoods from Flatbush to Bensonhurst and in New Jersey. As with Geg Albanian speakers, they are often proficient in Italian for historical reasons and have settled in New York neighborhoods with high concentrations of ethnic Italians. Many likewise came during the breakup of the former Yugoslavia and the wars that followed, but a smaller group, primarily Christian, came in the first half of the 20th century.

Note that the language above may be used throughout the New York area — this is just one significant site.

An urban language map

Welcome to Languages of New York City, a free and interactive digital map of the world’s most linguistically diverse metropolitan area.

All data, unless otherwise specified, is from the Endangered Language Alliance (ELA), based on information from communities, speakers, and other sources.

The map is a work in progress and a partial snapshot, focused on significant sites for Indigenous, minority, and endangered languages. Larger languages are represented selectively. To protect the privacy of speakers, some locations are slightly altered. Social media users, note that LANGUAGEMAP.NYC works best in a separate browser. We apologize that the map may not be fully accessible to all users, including the visually impaired.

This map was created by the Mapping Linguistic Diversity team, with core support from the Peter Wall Institute for Advanced Studies and the Endangered Language Alliance. Please send feedback!

By continuing I acknowledge that I have read and accept the above information.
