=== Loan words for English speakers ===
=== Loan words for English speakers ===
On Saturday 2018-11-17 I made a copy of this list of loan words for English speakers to [[Wikibooks:Albanian/Loan_words_for_English_speakers]] and in the future when I add words I will update both this article and the one at Wikibooks. In the long term the best solution would be to put the words into a database, such as [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Main_Page Wikidata] and to generate the lists automatically from the database. This way there would not be the problem that some words that could be classified under "English" are instead in French or Italian because the pronunciation matches better those langauges.
