Apparently the language handler polyglossia has a module for
Albanian; on the opposite the Babel documentation does not list your
language among the supported ones; but here exists the file
albanian.ldf; this file esplicitly for what concern hyphenation
falls back to the Englis patterns..<br>
<br>
The support offered by polyglossia is specified in
gloss-albanian.ldf This file sets \hyphennames={albanian}, but I
assume that actually albanian patterns are missing also for
polyglossia.<br>
<br>
<br>
Very good. For the very ittle I know of Albanian, I'd say you are in
a very good position to create yourself the suitable patterns. Your
language, as far as I can say, is is pretty much phonetic and
probably the grammar rules reflect this aspect. Start from the
grammar rules of syllabification defferent from hyphenation —
hyphenation must obey grammar, but also typography; for example the
minimum number of characters for the first and the last hyphen
points. An example in Italian: the word "idea" can be syllabified
according to grammar in "i-de-a", but in typography it cannot be
hyphenated at all because in Italian typography you neve leave a
word fragment at the end or at the start of a line made up with just
one letter. <br>
Remember you language has many sounds, each one generally rendered
with a single letter possibly with diacritics; very few dygraphs,
such as sh, dh, and similar ones; patterns mus include at least one
pattern ofr every letter, moreover you have to take care of
indivisible consonat clusters, or indivisible vocal clusters. I
suggest you to work with a grammar at hand; while you create or
modify your patterns write down a file with words containing those
patterns. While you proceed you might need to check the correctness
of your patterns. At the moment it would be confusing, but in due
time write me and I will show you, if still possible, the set up I
used to test the patterns I wrote for several languages, mostly of
Latin origin, without the complex set up that is needed by the team.
<br>
<br>
Remember to code you pattern file in UTF-8 encoding. It is much
easier for you to read them and for the subsequent processing needed
by the team.<br>

Recently I assisted an Albanian student getting her degree in Italy,
who wrote her thesi in Italian, bu with many stretches of text in
Albanian; these parts where hyphenated by hand, because she could
not use LaTeX, but the final printing was done from a LaTeX
generated pdf file; the supervisors were very happy to see a well
typeset thesis, that in humanities apparently is pretty uncommon.<br>
<br>
All the best<br>
