Summary/Abstract: History proves that population continuously had migrated and moved from one place to another. They took their culture especially their language but mainly they accepted the cultures of the place where they were settled so the language too. This was affected from many factors as education, job, living etc. cases reflected in families that have been observed. So the presence of large numbers of foreign countries and different language encounters has led us to research the use or non-use of the Albanian or the language of any other community in the language of the country where they live. In our paper, we will try to explain the position and role of parents in the preservation of mother tongue, of Kosovar families that lives in different states of Europe, even though they are citizens of Kosova mainly from the district of Prizren, cases of Albanian language, but in special cases of Bosnian and Turkish, also the challenges of children, family and community or even the district where targeted families live in the Prizren region or even in the Diaspora countries. Research object will be the families of the Prizren region, who, besides Albanian, Bosnian and Turkish, challenge themselves and their family with a third language, German, English, French, Italian, etc, where in this challenge we will present their role and steps in maintaining their mother tongue,always based during the time the families mentioned are in Kosova, mainly in Prizren district. To realize this paper, we have conducted continuous conversations with family heads of families living in the Diaspora, but also individually with the children of these families or with other members. We have also used written testimonies from social networks, where we have established direct contacts from which we encountered different communication code facts within a conversation or sentence. The results of this paper will be relevant to this field of linguistics.
