Description:
Mita Xhavarra from Stjar in Southern Albania narrates the cosmogony according to the local Aromanian faith, merging the biblical episode of Noah's Ark with the origin of humanity starting from the Aromanians, thus giving an exquisite explanation of a linguistic nature outside the usual framework. The language is the Farsherot variant of the Aromanic and shows Albanian influences.
