Elifbaja Arabo-Shqip (ئەلیفبایا ئارابوَ-شچیپ)

Elifbaja Arabo-Shqip (Arabic-Albanian alphabet) is an adaption of the Arabic script to write Albanian devised by A. Elbrens. It can be used to write the Gheg and Tosk dialects of Albanian, and could also be adapted for Arberesh. A. Elbrens believes that this is a better fit than previous versions of the Arabic script for Albanian. It's based on the Kurdish Sorani alphabet.
