Jani Minga (1872-1947) was a patriot Albanian teacher and a notable follower of the National Renaissance of Albania. He was one of the signatories of Albanian Declaration of Independence. Minga took part in every Congress on the Albanian language that took place before the declaration of independence, most notably the Congress of Monastir, where the Albanian alphabet was established. He initiated the association Lab ria in 1889 and opened the first Albanian language school in Kanina. Minga wrote the first scholarly books on Albanian alphabet.
