Gheg (or Geg) is one of the two major varieties of Albanian. The other one is Tosk, on which standard Albanian is based. The dividing line between these two varieties is the Shkumbin River, which winds its way through central Albania.

Gheg is spoken in Northern Albania, Kosovo, northwestern Republic of Macedonia, southern Montenegro, Preševo Valley in Serbia, and Turkey^{[citation needed]}. It is also spoken in parts of Sicily and southern Italy.^{[citation needed]}

There are still some authors who write in the Gheg dialect. Gheg is used on television and in newspapers in Kosovo only.

Gheg has several subdialects, notably:

Italian linguist Carlo Tagliavini puts the Gheg speech of Kosovo and Macedonia in "Eastern Geg".

Phonemic changes (assimilations), are frequent as dialectal features, but do not appear in the Albanian literary language which does only follow Tosk Albanian.
