The representatives understood the importance of unity, regardless which alphabet was chosen. Gjergj Fishta, who praised the development of the <a href="/wiki/Society_for_the_Unity_of_the_Albanian_Language" title="Society for the Unity of the Albanian Language">Bashkimi</a> alphabet, declared: “I have not come here to defend any one of the alphabets, but I have come here to unite with you and adopt that alphabet which the Congress decides upon as most useful for uplifting the people”. The audience was deeply moved by Fishta. Hodja Ibrahim Effendi, a <a href="/wiki/Islam_in_Albania" title="Islam in Albania">Muslim clergyman</a>, rushed to Fishta and embraced him with tears in his eyes.<sup id="cite_ref-Gawrych165_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Gawrych165-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>At the beginning of the Congress, the delegates elected a commission consisting of eleven members (four Muslims, four Orthodox and three Catholics) to make a decision before the other delegates arrived.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Gjergj Fishta was elected chairman of the commission, Parashqevi Qiriazi chairwoman and Mit'hat Frashëri its vice-chairman. <a href="/wiki/Luigj_Gurakuqi" title="Luigj Gurakuqi">Luigj Gurakuqi</a> became the secretary of the commission while the other five members of the commission were <a href="/wiki/Bajo_Topulli" title="Bajo Topulli">Bajo Topulli</a>, Ndre Mjeda, Shahin Kolonja, Gjergj Qiriazi and Sotir Peçi. Mit'hat Frashëri was also elected chairman of the congress. The delegates took a <a href="/wiki/Besa_(Albanian_culture)" title="Besa (Albanian culture)">besa</a> to accept the decision of the committee. The committee deliberated on the question of a common alphabet for three successive days.<sup id="cite_ref-Gawrych165_6-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Gawrych165-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> They promised, through said besa, that nothing would be known before the ultimate decision. </p><p>However, the Congress was unable to choose one single alphabet and instead opted for a compromise solution, using both the Istanbul and Bashkimi alphabets, but with some changes to reduce the differences between them. Usage of the alphabet of Istanbul declined rapidly and it became obsolete over the following years as Albania declared its independence.<sup id="cite_ref-Gawrych165_6-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Gawrych165-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The Bashkimi alphabet is the predecessor of the official alphabet for the Albanian language in use today. To those who were disappointed that the Congress had chosen two written scripts rather than one, Gjergj Fishta noted that <a href="/wiki/German_language" title="German language">German</a> also had two written scripts. After some discussion, the decision for the use of both the Bashkimi and Istanbul alphabets was accepted by all the delegates. It was also agreed to have every local Albanian authority report to the Union Association, monthly, about developments in their areas. Another agreement resulted in another congress in <a href="/wiki/Ioannina" title="Ioannina">Ioannina</a> on July 10, 1910.<sup id="cite_ref-Gawrych165_6-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Gawrych165-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Vendim_i_Komisionit_p%C3%ABr_%C3%A7%C3%ABshtjen_e_Abc-%C3%ABs.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f5/Vendim_i_Komisionit_p%C3%ABr_%C3%A7%C3%ABshtjen_e_Abc-%C3%ABs.png/220px-Vendim_i_Komisionit_p%C3%ABr_%C3%A7%C3%ABshtjen_e_Abc-%C3%ABs.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="333" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f5/Vendim_i_Komisionit_p%C3%ABr_%C3%A7%C3%ABshtjen_e_Abc-%C3%ABs.png/330px-Vendim_i_Komisionit_p%C3%ABr_%C3%A7%C3%ABshtjen_e_Abc-%C3%ABs.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f5/Vendim_i_Komisionit_p%C3%ABr_%C3%A7%C3%ABshtjen_e_Abc-%C3%ABs.png/440px-Vendim_i_Komisionit_p%C3%ABr_%C3%A7%C3%ABshtjen_e_Abc-%C3%ABs.png 2x" data-file-width="1114" data-file-height="1688" /></a><figcaption>Original letter of the final decision of the Congress with signatures from all the delegates.</figcaption></figure> <p>On November 20, when the congress was coming to an end, Hodja Vildan, Fazil Pasha and Colonel Riza, three members of the Albanian community of Istanbul, arrived. They were to attend the congress and later advise smaller, similar Albanian societies that operated throughout Albania. At first, the three members sought to protect the writing of Albanian with the use of an <a href="/wiki/Ottoman_Turkish_alphabet" title="Ottoman Turkish alphabet">Ottoman Turkish alphabet</a>. However, Hodja Vildan nullified his concerns. He denounced <a href="/wiki/Abdul_Hamid_II" title="Abdul Hamid II">Sultan Abdul Hamid</a> and defended the importance of unity among Albanians for self-determination and national spirit. Vildan argued that they had a right to use a Latin script, and that this would be a ‘tool’ for progress. He did not take the same position on the direction of writing and matters of religion, however. Said ideas continued to be defended by him in the other places the three members visited.<sup id="cite_ref-Skendi370378_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Skendi370378-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Legacy">Legacy</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Congress_of_Manastir&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Legacy"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Congress_of_Manastir_Building.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1b/Congress_of_Manastir_Building.jpg/170px-Congress_of_Manastir_Building.jpg" decoding="async" width="170" height="239" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1b/Congress_of_Manastir_Building.jpg/255px-Congress_of_Manastir_Building.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1b/Congress_of_Manastir_Building.jpg/340px-Congress_of_Manastir_Building.jpg 2x" data-file-width="683" data-file-height="961" /></a><figcaption>The hotel owned by <a href="/wiki/Fehim_Zavalani" title="Fehim Zavalani">Fehim Zavalani</a>, where the congress was held in <a href="/wiki/Bitola" title="Bitola">Manastir</a> (Today the Museum of the Albanian Alphabet in Bitola)</figcaption></figure> <p>The adoption of a Latin character-based Albanian alphabet was considered an important step for Albanian unification.<sup id="cite_ref-Skendi370378_8-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Skendi370378-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Duijzings163_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Duijzings163-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Gawrych182_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Gawrych182-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-NezirAkmese96_11-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NezirAkmese96-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Some Albanian Muslims and clerics, preferring an Arabic-based alphabet, expressed their opposition towards the Latin script due to concerns that it would undermine ties with the <a href="/wiki/Muslim_world" title="Muslim world">Muslim world</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Skendi370378_8-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Skendi370378-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Duijzings163_9-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Duijzings163-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Gawrych182_10-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Gawrych182-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The situation was also alarming for the Ottoman government, as the Albanians were the largest Muslim community in the European part of the empire, apart from the population of Istanbul.
