Teqe Of Baba Ali (Përmet)
The Teqe of Baba Ali ( sq, Teqeja e Baba Aliut), or Teqe of Baba Abdullah, is a Bektashi tekke in the village of Alipostivan, Qendër Piskovë, Përmet municipality, Albania. It sits upon a hill overlooking the Vjosa valley and the Nemërçka mountain, and the name of Alipostivan itself is said to derive from ''Ali, post i vendit'' ("Ali, sheepskin-sitter of the place"). The tekke of Baba Ali is known for the preservation and development of Bektashi traditions, particularly in spreading Bektashism to the Deshnica area and along the border villages of Skrapar.

Albanian Language
Albanian ( endonym: or ) is an Indo-European language and an independent branch of that family of languages. It is spoken by the Albanians in the Balkans and by the Albanian diaspora, which is generally concentrated in the Americas, Europe and Oceania. With about 7.5 million speakers, it comprises an independent branch within the Indo-European languages and is not closely related to any other modern Indo-European language.
