Summary/Abstract: In addition to the author's works, the inscriptions, both sepulchral and dedicatory or of other types, contribute to illustrating the diachronic development of a language. Among the Arbëreshë of Sicily, a considerable number of inscriptions reveals the uninterrupted use of the Albanian language, perhaps preceding the same work by Lekë Matanga (1591), and the constant effort for its orthographic result. Many of them, which have disappeared for the passage of time and human neglect, are witnessed by works of various authors, others, still existing, are shown in photographic images. From the reading of the texts, the scholar can get phonological, philological and diachronic considerations.
