PHYSICAL ANTHROPOLOGY OF TOSKS edit

According to the anthropologist Carleton Coon, Tosks are not dark Mediterranean types but rather of stocky build, mainly Alpine in type. They are of medium colouring like the Southern and Central French. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.154.100.144 (talk) 06:44, 23 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Infobox edit

I have removed the infobox of both Tosks and Ghegs. The infobox are for ethnic groups, not for speakers of dialects. The more important problem with the use of infoboxes is that despite the common misconception which exists among some western authors, gegë are just the speakers of "northern" dialects who lived just north of the Shkumbin river in Mat District. People from Malësia or Dukagjin don't call themselves gegë and don't call their dialects gegnisht. Toskë is a term used by those speakers of "southern" dialects who lived south of the Shkumbin river in central/eastern and south-eastern Albania. People of Labëria or natives of Myzeqe don't call themselves toskë and don't speak toskërisht.--Maleschreiber (talk) 00:40, 31 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
