lale = tulip in Albanian
Both words – “lale” and “tulip” – come from Turkish. What is interesting Ottoman Turkish borrowed word “lale” from Persian. That means that this word travelled from Indo-European language to Turkic and back to some Indo-European languages.
{lâle} (Persian – Indo-European language) > {lale} (Ottoman Tukish – Turkic language) > lale (Albanian – Indo-European language)
Other Indo-European languages that borrowed from Ottoman Turkish:
lalea (Romanian)
laleé (Aromanian)
лала {lala} (Serbian)
лале {lale} (Bulgarian, Macedonian)
λαλές {lales} (Greek)
