In this paper, we present a Universal Dependencies (UD) treebank for the Standard Albanian Language (SAL), annotated by expert linguistics supported by information technology professionals. The annotated treebank consists of 24,537 tokens (1,400 sentences) and includes annotation for syntactic dependencies, part-of-speech tags, morphological features, and lemmas. This treebank represents the largest UD treebank available for SAL. In order to overcome annotation challenges in SAL within the UD framework, we delicately balanced the preservation of the richness of SAL grammar while adapting the UD tagset and addressing unique language-specific features for a unified annotation. We discuss the criteria followed to select the sentences included in the treebank and address the most significant linguistic considerations when adapting the UD framework conform to the grammar of the SAL. Our efforts contribute to the advancement of linguistic analyses and Natural Language Processing (NLP) in the SAL. The treebank will be made available online under an open license so that to provide the possibility for further developments of NLP tools based on the Artificial Intelligence (AI) models for the Albanian language.
