[PAR] [TLE] Alps [SEP] The Alps ( ; French: "Alpes" ] ; German: "Alpen" ] ; Italian: "Alpi" ] ; Romansh: "Alps" ; Slovene: "Alpe" ] ) are the highest and most extensive mountain range system that lies entirely in Europe, stretching approximately 1,200 km across eight Alpine countries: Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Slovenia, and Switzerland.  The mountains were formed over tens of millions of years as the African and Eurasian tectonic plates collided.  Extreme shortening caused by the event resulted in marine sedimentary rocks rising by thrusting and folding into high mountain peaks such as Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn.  Mont Blanc spans the French–Italian border, and at 4810 m is the highest mountain in the Alps.  The Alpine region area contains about a hundred peaks higher than 4000 metres (just over 13,000 feet). [PAR] [TLE] Names of the Albanians and Albania [SEP] The Albanians (Albanian: "Shqiptarët" ) and their country Albania ("Shqipëria") have been identified by many ethnonyms.  The native endonym is Shqiptar.  The name "Albanians" (Byzantine Greek: "Albanoi/Arbanitai/Albanites"; Latin: "Albanenses/Arbanenses") was used in medieval Greek and Latin documents that gradually entered European languages from which other similar derivative names emerged.  Linguists believe that the "alb" part in the root word originates from an Indo-European term for a type of mountainous topography, meaning "hill, mountain", also present in "Alps".  Through the root word "alban" and its rhotacized equivalents "arban", "albar", and "arbar", the term in Albanian became rendered as "Arbëreshë" (Gheg Albanian: "Arbëneshë" ) for the people and "Arbëria" (Gheg Albanian: "Arbënia" ) for the country.
