Summary/Abstract: Jan Urban Jarník, born in 1848 in Potštejn, Czechia, was a linguist who significantly contributed to Prague's Albanian studies[^1^][1]. Initially focused on Romance languages, he mastered multiple languages, including Albanian, which he learned independently. His work laid the foundation for Albanian studies at Charles University in Prague. Despite never visiting Albania, Jarník's innovative methods and comparative approach were pioneering for his time. His legacy continues to influence modern linguistic research.
