Arguably the European country with the most troubled history both in the 20th C and earlier. The paper by Professor Blerta Bodinaku, myself and the late lamented Professor Dan Pokorny: Bodinaku, B., Evans, C., & Pokorny, D. (2024). Interpreting Differences in Questionnaire Scores in the Context of Cultural Location: A Country Case Study of Symptom Check List -90- Revised Data from Albania, Germany and the USA. Academic Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies, 13(4), 156. https://doi.org/10.36941/ajis-2024-0106 (open access) gives some of that background. Albania has one official language: Albanian. There are two dialects, Gheg and Tosk with official Albania somewhat closer to Tosk than Gheg but the translation of the CORE-OM (and short forms) into Albanian is completely intelligible to people from either dialect and can be found at the page below. Albania has one of the highest, if not the highest proportion of diaspora speakers of the language of any country.

Do contact me if you want something added here about the use of CORE instruments in Albania or in the Albanian diaspora. I will link Blerta in to get an expert involved in responding.
