2 Perkiraan ini hanya menunjukkan jumlah penduduk Albania di Italia dan tidak termasuk imigran Albania dari Kosovo, dari negara Balkan lain, imigran ilegal, dan Albania Arbëreshë lokal.
3 Orang Albania tidak diakui sebagai minoritas di Turki. Namun, diperkirakan 500.000 orang mengaku sebagai orang Albania. Jika digabung dengan mereka yang punya darah Albania dan yang telah terturkinisasi, diperkirakan terdapat 1.300.000, dan sebagian besar di antara mereka tidak dapat berbicara bahasa Albania.
Orang Albania (bahasa Albania:Shqiptarëtcode: sq is deprecated ) adalah kelompok etnik dari Albania dan wilayah sekitarnya atau penduduk Republik Albania tanpa memandang etnis.[27] Etnis Albania menuturkan bahasa Albania dan sebagian besar tinggal di Albania dan Kosovo. Diaspora Albania juga dapat ditemui di sejumlah negara lainnya.
Sejarah
Menurut penelitian antropologi genetik, orang Albania memiliki nenek moyang yang sama dengan bangsa Eropa lainnya.[28]

"Maternal and paternal lineages in Albania and the genetic structure of Indo-European populations". European Journal of Human Genetics, July 2000, Volume 8, Number 7, pp. 480-486. "Mitochondrial DNA HV1 sequences and Y chromosome haplotypes (DYS19 STR and YAP) were characterized in an Albanian sample and compared with those of several other Indo-European populations from the European continent. No significant difference was observed between Albanians and most other Europeans, despite the fact that Albanians are clearly different from all other Indo-Europeans linguistically. We observe a general lack of genetic structure among Indo-European populations for both maternal and paternal polymorphisms, as well as low levels of correlation between linguistics and genetics, even though slightly more significant for the Y chromosome than for mtDNA. Altogether, our results show that the linguistic structure of continental Indo-European populations is not reflected in the variability of the mitochondrial and Y chromosome markers. This discrepancy could be due to very recent differentiation of Indo-European populations in Europe and/or substantial amounts of gene flow among these populations."
