Gheg and Tosk are the main dialects in the Albanian language. In Albania, Gheg is spoken in the north, while Tosk (the main dialect of Albania) is spoken in the south. The dialects are different enough that speakers of one cannot understand the other.

There are 7 vowel and 29 consonant phonemes in Tosk, and 14 to 19 vowel phonemes in Gheg.Languages Of The World: Dialects Languages Of The World: Structure
