Gustav Meyer, a linguist, albanologist, Indo-Europeanist, and professor, passed away. Born in Gros Strehlitz, Germany, in 1850, he is regarded as one of the most prominent Albanologists. He studied classical philology, Indo-European languages, modern Greek, and Sanskrit, and served as a professor of ancient languages at the University of G\u00f6ttingen, Prague, and Graz. In 1881, while at the University of Graz, Meyer intensified his research in Albanology. He published several significant works, including “Studime shqiptare I” (\u201cAlbanian Studies I\u201d) (1882), “P\u00ebr indoevropianishten e kryera n\u00eb morfologjin\u00eb e shqipes” (\u201cOn Indo-European Conducted in the Morphology of Albanian\u201d) (Florence, 1886), “Gramatik\u00eb e p\u00ebrmbledhur e shqipes” (\u201cSummary Grammar of Albanian\u201d) (Leipzig, 1888), “Elementet latine n\u00eb gjuh\u00ebn shqipe” (\u201cLatin Elements in the Albanian Language\u201d) (1888), and “Fjalor etimologjik i gjuh\u00ebs shqipe” (\u201cEtymological Dictionary of the Albanian Language\u201d) (Strasbourg, 1891). He defended the thesis that the Albanian language originated from Illyrian and established its position within the family of Indo-European languages, also creating the first etymological dictionary of Albanian.
