First, the Illyrian language was probably the dominant language in much of the western Balkans. The study of the Illyrian language is based on an interdisciplinary approach that combines historical data, linguistic continuity, archaeological evidence, and DNA. According to ancient sources, the Illyrians are considered a distinct group with unique tribal names, personal names such as Teuta, Agron, and place names such as Scodra, Drilon, around 230-231 BC, which differed from the neighboring Greeks, Thracians, and Dacians. These names are still used by Albanians. Linguists analyze these names and compare them with other Indo-European languages, including Albanian, which preserves base words such as bri, "horn"; dele, "sheep", which is still used in the Albanian language, is believed to have originated from the Illyrians. Then there are the archaeological finds. The evidence supporting the idea that the Illyrians spoke a distinct language, separate from Greek, Thracian, Dacian or Latin, comes from a combination of historical, linguistic and archaeological sources, further highlighting the cultural and linguistic identity of the Illyrians. Finally, let's not forget the groundbreaking DNA studies of ancient remains in the Balkans, which somehow show that these ancient populations are genetically linked to modern Albanians in places like Kosova, Serbia, Montenegro, Albania, Greece and North Macedonia. But hey, feel free to dismiss it as "nationalist nonsense" - after all, the burden of proof is on those who deny it, not the other way around.

@@ChildrenOfTheEagle 1. DNA has NOTHING to do with language - so toss that out immediately. 2. We have no knowledge at all of what language Illyrians spoke - nothing is recorded and they had no written language - and were probably not one people, but many in a sort of confederacy.

@Scion3Sevens While DNA might not directly influence the structure or vocabulary, it plays a significant role in understanding the history and evolution of languages. DNA allows researchers to trace human migration patterns, population mixing, and prehistoric contacts-factors that shape how languages spread, diverge, or influence one another. So by tossing the interdisciplinary approach of DNA research because you dont think it'simportant is like saying "why use tools when guessing wildly is so much easier"

Actually, the Albanian words for the sea and related terms have deep historical roots. For example: -Det (sea) likely comes from Proto-Indo-European roots like danu- or dhen, making it thousands of years old. -Anije (ship) may have evolved later, influenced by Latin or Greek, but the Illyrians, ancestors of Albanians, had ships and maritime terms. -Val (sail/wave)reflects ancient tools tied to seafaring, likely from Illyrian or early Albanian usage. -Peahk (fish) comes from Latin piscis, introduced during Roman times, over 2,000 years ago. The idea that Albanians lack sea-related words is incorrect. Their maritime heritage, dating back to the Illyrians along the Adriatic coast, proves otherwise.

Iliryan words not albanian.like skenderbeg serb not albanian.

Sir John Foster Fraser’s claim that the Albanian language is "unformed" or "adulterated" must be spot on, right? I mean, languages that borrow a few words here and there are obviously incomplete, right? Well, if that's your argument, let’s take a closer look at the Greek language.. Over time, Greek has casually picked up words from Latin, Turkish, and even English, but somehow, it's still considered the same language. Why is that? And let's not forget the many Greek dialects - Cretan Greek, Pontic Greek, Tsakonian Greek, Cypriot Greek… Apparently they are all from different regions and have different accents and expressions. So, if we take your cherry-picking argument into account, why not conclude that all these dialects are completely different languages from each other? Why doesn't linguistic research rush to call them separate languages? Oh.. I know! It's because that's not how it works. The Greek language is still the same language, even though there are completely different dialects. The same goes for the Albanian language. Modern research shows that, despite the Gheg and Tosk dialects sounding a bit different, they’re both part of the same Albanian language with a unique history and identity.

@@ChildrenOfTheEagle "People speaking the language we call Greek have lived continually in the Aegean region since at least 1600 BC, and possibly earlier. Greek is, moreover, one of the most conservative and enduring languages in history. Among those still spoken it has probably changed the least in the past three and a half thousand years, by any indicator. This is an astonishing feat of continuity and provides an obvious and fair point of national pride." Anthony Kaldellis, Hellenism in Byzantium. The Transformations of Greek Identity and the Reception of the Classical Tradition, 2007, pp. 26

@@ChildrenOfTheEagle "The Greek language is ONE OF ONLY THREE, among those now spoken and written in the world, that can boast a continuous written tradition stretching back for more than three thousand years. The others are Chinese and Hebrew." Roderick Beaton, "The Greeks: a global history", New York: Basic books 2021, Preface, pp. 13 "But the Greek language has a continuous recorded history in the geographical area of present-day Greece for over 3,000 years."

@@ChildrenOfTheEagle You compare the un-comparable pal... Greek is historically the most enduring language worldwide, while Sqip was not even a written language until some... hundred years ago...

Look, pal, Proto-Albanian didn’t exactly leave behind a treasure trove of ancient books or inscriptions-it was mostly an oral language, much like prehistoric African, Native American, or Aboriginal Australian languages etc. How it works is, modern linguists have determined that Albanian is one of the oldest languages in Europe through a mix of linguistic detective work: tracing cognates, analyzing phonetic shifts, and identifying borrowed words from Latin, Greek, Italian, Turkish, and Slavic. Phylogenetic studies, which use evolutionary biology methods to map language families, show that Albanian is a direct descendant of the ancient Illyrian language, making it a unique and ancient branch of the Indo-European family tree. So, while there may be no dusty manuscripts in forgotten libraries, the evidence etched in its words and structure speaks volumes about its ancient roots.
