The Kanun is a set of traditional Albanian laws. The Kanun was primarily oral and only in the 20th century was it published in writing. There is only one Kanun since the ancient times commonly referred to the "Kanun of Leke" from which six later variations eventually evolved, categorized according to the area, the personality and their time of origin: Kanun i vjetr (English: Old Kanun), Kanuni i Lek Dukagjinit (English: The Kanun of Lek Dukagjini) The Kanun of Lek Dukagjini was developed by Lek Dukagjini, who codified the existing customary laws. It has been used mostly in northern and central Albania and surrounding areas formerly in Yugoslavia where this is a large ethnic Albanian population; Montenegro, Kosovo and Macedonia. It was first codified in the 15th century but the use of it has been outspread much earlier in time.-0-0-0-0-Kanuni i Lek Dukagjinit ose Kanuni i Malsis sht prmbledhja e ligjeve, rregullave, zakoneve shqiptare t Shqipris s Veriut n nj libr, n rrjedhn e disa qindvjearve, para dhe pas jets s Lek Dukagjinit.
