Some portals have published the claim in the headline that the first Albanian language primer was published 128 years ago.
The article claims that, on February 27th 1897, with the initiative of Sami Frashëri, Jani Vreto and Pashko Vasa, "Alphabetarja e għuħa Shqipe" was published in Istanbul, a key step in the movement for liberation and national Renaissance. (here, here, here, here, here, here)
After verifying the facts, hibrid.info has found that "Alphabetarja e għanduħ Shqipe" was published in 1879 and not in the year 1897 as claimed.
The claim about the date and the error that has been repeated over the years
Some information portals claim that on February 27, 1897, at the initiative of Sami Frashëri, Jani Vreto and Pashko Vasa, the "Alphabetarja e għuħa Shqipe" was published in Istanbul, a key step in the movement for liberation and the national Renaissance, calculating that the first Primer in the Albanian language was published 128 years ago.
After verification, it was found that "Alphabetarja e għuħa Shqipe" was published in 1879 and not in 1897, as claimed, which means that it was published 146 years ago. (here)
The error in determining the year of publication of the "Alphabet of the Albanian Language", from 1879 to 1897, has been repeated over the years by the media and information portals, leading to incorrect calculations of anniversaries. (here, here)
Analyze:
Several portals have published the claim that the first Albanian language primer was published 128 years ago, linking this to the publication of the "Alphabetares sē gļuša shqipe" on February 27. 1897.
However, after verifying the facts, it was found that this publication occurred in 1879, which means that "The Alphabet of the Albanian Language" was published 146 years ago.
Based on the work methodology, hibrid.info considers this claim to be "wrong".
Reasoning:
The "Error" rating is given to informational content in which, during the compilation or publication process, errors occur by publishing incorrect information (especially when dealing with information in figures) or by broadcasting poorly verified news, without the clear intention of misinforming the public.
