Summary/Abstract: Although quite young and without a long experience, Musine Kokalari remains the first writer of our country, while her work is a vivid mirror of the communication ethnography of Gjirokastra women. Within this ethnographic model of speech, there are outlined a variety of linguistic phenomena, some of which are still present in this city, and some have disappeared or have evolved into new forms. M. Kokalari's work is a precious legacy of the Gjirokastra language, and being in prose, the features of this folk speech come out more complete. Based on the observation that we have done to her work, it is noted that there is a linguistic archaic form of it, and this is derived from the fact that the work language, is the language of the Gjrokastra women, being uneducated and staying in their homeland most of their life, they have maintained these features natural and raw.
