In their pigment characteristics the mountain Ghegs are about half way between blond and brunet pigment extremes as delimited by European range,they run to light skins,dark head hair,and intermediate to light mustaches very much red,and a light mixed eye color.In pigmentation they are not very different from Highland Scots,Basques and the Kentucky mountaineers-but considerably darker than Norwegians.They are fairer than the Italians of the portions of Italy opposite them,fairer than the Tosks,Greeks,Bulgarians and Serbs,while probably little different from Montenegrins,Bosnians and Tyrolese.

The Gheg phenotype is thus represented by a moderately tall man,long limbed,strong boned,well muscled,spare and lean,with a thin bony face of moderate dimensions,a long,narrow,aquiline nose,a short,broad head often flattened behind,a well developed mustache and beard,both of which vary in color,a light skin,and mixed eyes.
