Of the remaining mystical orders in Albania besides the Bektashi, there are those that associate with the mainline Sunni establishment, as well as those who feel themselves to be distant from both the Sunnis and Bektashis, and in terms of organization have oscillated between association with the Sunni establishment, with the Bektashis, and as their own independent organization. Today, these sects, the largest of them being the Halveti Order, and are organized and collectively referred to in Albania as the "Alevian Community" () or the "Alevian Sects" (). There are other mystical orders who associate more with the Sunni establishment. There is no known direct relation of Alevjans to Turkish "Alevis" or Syrian "Alawites" except their ambiguous position between Sunnism and Shi'ism, also a characteristic of Bektashism.
