Dizdari family traces their origin from a military who had settled in Shkodër from İznik of the Province of Bursa, today's Turkey.

During 1944, still in the newspaper Bashkimi i kombit, he contributed to the linguistics section "Fjalë iranishte në gjuhën shqipe" (Iranian Words in Albanian) using the pen-name Bishtiqindija.

[3] In February 1951, he was arrested and interrogated for several months due to an alleged connection with the so-called bombing of the Soviet embassy in Tirana,[4] but was set free since there was no incriminating evidence against him.

[3] His main works during his active period from 1941 to 1971 are the Orientalizmat në gjuhën shqipe (Orientalisms in Albanian), and Fjalë të pambledhura nga fjalorët e deritanishëm (Words Not Collected in Previous Dictionaries), the last one being an important work on improving Albanian dictionaries with old or obsolete words not collected until then.

[1] The Fjalor i orientalizmave në gjuhën shqipe (Dictionary of Orientalisms in Albanian), a voluminous work of around 1200 pages, was published in 2005.

[5] Base on a proposal by the Academy of Sciences, the President of Albania Sali Berisha awarded him the order "Naim Frashëri" of 1-st Class in 1995, with the dedication "For valuable contribution in the development of Albanological studies".
