Summary/Abstract: This paper examines the contribution of foreign researchers on the development of Balkan studies, particularly in the field of linguistics, as facilitated by the Institute of Albanology. It particularly emphasizes their role in the study of linguistic similarities and divergences in the Balkans. As an interdisciplinary field, Balkan studies comprise the study of the region’s culture, history, and languages. In this context, the paper analyzes the researchers’ contributions to the promotion of comparative studies, thereby introducing fresh perspectives into Balkan linguistics. Additionally, the paper offers an overview of these studies, highlighting their significance for the development of both Balkan studies and comparative linguistics.
