You know, this reminds me of when I was in school, and I had some friends
who were a family from Vietnam, the Nguyens.  And some other friends from
Cambodia or Laos named Outhavong.  They came here to Texas, don't know if
they were refugees though.  Of course there was a need for people who spoke
Vietnamese, where there really wasn't before the Vietnam War.

So we could use some Albanian speakers now.  Fortunately, Albanian is
probably much easier to learn for an English speaker than Vietnamese (a lot
fewer diacritics too!)
