Jani Vruho

Jani Vruho was an Albanian publisher and nationalist figure.

Vruho was born in the Vrtop village Polian, Albania, then in the Ottoman Empire. Since young he emigrated to Egypt like many other Rilindas, settling in El Faiym. Vruho would spend most of his life and die there. He started publishing articles in the Ditrfenjs or Kalendari Kombiar in Sofia, or Liri e Cqiperise , both by Kristo Luarasi. Vruho was an untiring propagandist of the Albanian national cause. He was kind of satisfied that the national consciousness of Albanians was reaching a certain form. Vruho was also a promoter of writings in Albanian language and Albanian education. He would write in one of his articles in Freedom of Albania, March 31, 1911 Of all the perils which surround Albania today, we see salvation in only one thing we read and write in the language of the people. It is when young people learn to read and write in their language that we may state with full conviction that Albania has been saved.
