Beitha Kukju

Beitha Kukju

Beitha Kukju was an Albanian who invented a script used for the Albanian language in about 1840, called the Beitha Kukju script after its inventor. However, this script was not widely used and was overwhelmed by Greek, Arabic and Latin scripts, the latter becoming the official one in 1909.

Another original script used for Albanian was Elbasan script of the 18th century. This script did not have much influence either.
