Not that I know of?? One of the three spoke English with a heavy accent, one spoke very little English and the third knew "OK" and "dog". Even not understanding what the third hunter was saying I laughed my butt off when he started roasting the other guys chestnuts when they missed. Trust me, he roasted A LOT of chestnuts!!

Don’t make fun…they’re practicing conservation.

There is a Albion and Alburtis in Pa. Maybe you just misunderstood where they were from and they were just speaking the local dialect! Did you have your hearing aids turned on?

Chuck, I grew up right next to Alburtis, the dialect is PA Dutch. Albanian is a dialect all of it's own.
