Summary/Abstract: The core subject of the article written by Elvis Bramo is the written language of Theodor Bogomil, Constantin Berati, Vangjel Meksi, and Grigor Gjirokastriti in the Greek alphabet. They belong to that group of Bible translators who wanted religious services made in their mother tongue. Among our scholars, they are said to have formed a literary current called “Neoclericalism” .Dr. Elvis Bramo considers the language of these authors from the phonetic, morphological and particularly the syntactical level, as well as in the comparative level with the Greek language, which they used to translate from. As regards the Voskopoja School, the author also reveals the cultural and educational radiation it had throughout the Albanian speaking countries.
