The Origins of the Albanians | Who Are We?
The Albanians are an ethnic group located in the Balkan Peninsula of Southeastern Europe. Because their origin is clouded and highly contested, I have created this simple video as a basic rundown of the various theories and data on the Albanians and their ethnogenesis as a culture unique from those around them.

    The biggest lie is that Albanians are Illyrians. The Illyrians inhabited Dalmatia and Montenegro and a small part of Albania that was not even Albania until the 19th century. Look at English and German maps of countries and peoples in Europe from the Middle Ages and you will see that Albanians do not exist

    You are the servants of the Turks, then the Austro-Hungarians, then you served the Nazis, and now you serve the Rpad elite and are known only as drug dealers. You are not even mentioned in the Middle Ages. You are the youngest nation in Europe, only Bosnians are younger than you, but they are not a nation. There are a lot of lies on Tik Tok and RUclips spread by lobbyists you pay, but history is not Tik Tok. You do not exist in real history, you did not exist until the 19th century. You are stealing history and land from Greeks and Serbs. You are the only Muslim country in Europe, so that also means that you do not belong to European culture.

    Primarily dear Serb neighbours and all other uninformed people with very basic knowledge of Albanian history who behave like historians / experts here lol. Educate yourself! Knowledge is power!. Do not speak based on what Serb politics have brainwashed you (serbs) with rubbish such as Cubrilovic's proposals that were implemented in the 1930s for extinction of Albanians (search in Google if you don't know and hopefully you will be ashamed by what your appalling government was planning to do since then until late 90's) to make you get a rifle and fight and kill any non-serb / lose your life happily(!) while politicians themselves hide in safe underground bunkers! All those Serb solders who lost their lives during Yugoslavian disintegration wars and people they killed too, were sons of mothers! Bear in mind .. no mum in the world wants to lose her son in wars. If they protest at politicians' offices these poor mothers are more likely to face water cannons! Wake up and look at facts .. my suggestion ... do not look at Serb, Russian or Albanian sources which undoubtfully will be biased. Look at the third and impartial party sources to educate yourself. For example read History of Albania at Britannica (www.britannica.com/topic/history-of-Albania) .. and so many other unbiased sources. It may make you sleep better and get on with your life!

    Red in a serious book that Albanian is one of the branches of Thracian part of Macro-Baltic family. The proof of it is that the genuine part of Romanian alledged from Dacian has positive connection with Albanian. Illyrians is an etero-ethnonym and the language is known by some 2 words if I remember well and some persons names without any clue if they are genuinely illyric ones. In the same book (Sergent) Dalmatian is a branch of macro-latin family, but the remains are mainly with family names, so very scarce. If some French believes that they are from Gaulish origin, why not Albanians from Illyrians, but it's a belief, not a proof.

      Inform yourself better, Places like Arta, Preveza, Janina, Peloponezi, Selanik, were orginally ALBANIAN. Modern Greeks have nothing to do with Hellenes or any other ancient tribe. As a matter of fact. Albanians have more right to claim connection to Illyrians as they were of Pelasgian (Albanian tribe). Why the greeks have stolen the ancient culture of Albanian- Pelasgean people? The mythology of greek it isn't greeks but is Albanian, all the names and words have sense only in Albanian dialectic language! Inform your self take an Albanian dictionary and the Iliad in original language like Homer write it, comparate the worlds by your self! When Homer was born, the Greeks had just recently learned how to use the alphabet from the Phoenicians. Homer lived around 700 BC, in the Archaic period in Greece. No one knows where in Greece he lived exactly, and Homer didn't make up these stories, or even the words, himself. The Greeks lived in a lot of little city-states they do not have a nation and in the Bronze Age each one had in its own city a king.Before the Trojan war there is no indication of Greeks. Greeks were invited by Albanian Pelasgians in their cities . Zeus survives as "Zot" in the Albanian language and it's mean "VOICE". The invocation of his name is the common form of oath among the modern Albanians. Athena, the goddess of wisdom as expressed in speech, would evidently owe its derivation to the Albanian "E Thena," which simply means "speech." Thetis, the goddess of waters and seas, would seem to be but Albanian "Deti" which means "sea." - The word "Ulysses,"whether in its Latin or Greek form "Odysseus," means "traveler" in the Albanian language, according as the word "udhe,"(udhetues) which stands for "route" and "traveler," is written with "d" or "l," both forms being in use in Albanian. So Greeks differs from other pellasgians(illyrians, epiriots, macedonians). They represent only a partial culture of a big nation. The question is:"what are the new greeks"? The most important element in the population of Greece is formed by the Albanians (ca.240 000), called Arvanitae (Arnaouts) by the Greeks, while they name themselves Shqiptar'. It further proves that Greeks today are nothing more than the creation of great powers to divide and conquer Albanians splitting them away from each other like the Kosovo situation we have today while Çameria still remain occupied. Conclusion: Greek is ONLY a national concept.

      @@southepirote7676 Greek itself is indo-european at some 60%, all the rest is borrowed, probably from former people living in Greece, anatolian for sure (Lycabetos, parnassos - in hittite Parna is house and a lot of others). There's a second layer from so-called pelasgian but what we see it's more explainable by germanic than from itallic. Anyway most of the linguists think that pelasgian are closer to macro-italic group. About Zeus it's Deus in latin with a root di- that means day in nearly all european languages (Jupiter = "day father") probably linked with the sun. There are no doubts that ancestors of Albanian arrived in their place in the same time as Greeks (may by the latest layer of them but it's in very old time (some 1200 BC). Linguistic shows they are somehow macro-Thracians as may be Illiryc was itself (we don't know at all this language). The fact that there are albanian borowings in greek is well-known, nothing strange, there are as well a big bunch from slavic as well. There's nothing good in linking modern culture with ancient ones even on a genetic level. We are all mixed some more than others, it just depends where we place the limit. One more thing Pelasgian is somehow a derivated form from Pelasti under the influence of the see in Greek (see people). There are clues that middle-age Albanians descent from Dardani people which gave the name to the Dardanelles and figure in the egyptian list of see people that went in several occasions with Greeks and Etruscans in Egypt.

    I did not know that a country with the name Macedonia existed. Do not spread false information. Learn and study before you make a video.NMK It is a new Slavic country with the name North Macedonia in Balkan (former FYROM and before that Yugoslavia and before Vardaska Banovina- NEVER Macedonia) and not only Macedonia. Only Macedonia is a county in Greece since the ancient time. Megas Alexandros Macedonia have no connection with the NMK. Now....There is no confirmation that Albanians ever called themselves Illyrians. That was something we the Greeks and later Romans called them. Albanians do not call themselves “Albanians” but “Shqipetar”. The Illyrians were not a homogenous nation but rather an exonym describing a very large group of different tribes, inhabiting a vast area. It is one thing to claim that Albanians descend from the ancient Illyrians, which is probably true (leaving beside the fact that there is always some genetic admixture at the very least, there is no such thing as pure blood), and a whole different thing to claim that the Albanians are actually the ancient Illyrians, that they are basically the same people.

    @Encyclopedia Albanica, I would suggest you use the term Ethnic Albanian bcs saying just Albanian unfortunately implies a citizen of the country Albania, which automatically excludes the Albanians from Kosovo, people whose merits a d contributions to the e tire ethnic Albanian culture immediately are attributed to the country of Albanian, or perceiving Kosovo as a province of Albania, which it is not. Kosovo Albanians are Albanians in the ethnic sense, BUT they did not come to Kosovo from Albanian and they are seemingly different from Albanians from the state of Albania. They are a separate nation. So, Mr. Qendrim Thawi (the creator of first ethnic Albanian supercar), the American pop si ger GASHI, Dua Lipa, Rita Ora, Era and Nora Istrefi, Dhurata Dora, Bekim Fehmiu, Faruk Begolli, Aziz Salihu, Olympic medal winners in Judo - Majlinda Kelmendi, Nora Gjakova, Akol Gjakova, etc rtc etc ARE NOT from Albanian and HAVE NOTHING to do with the country of Albania except for the common ethnic origin!!!!!

    Not all Albanians claim univocally that Albanians originate from Illyrians. What most Albanians are aware of is that the Albanian language is obviously paleo-Balkaniv (or pre-slavic), made up of Proto-Albanian words ( that are most closely related to the Proto-Indo-European - a languahe that ALL European languages stem from - except from Hungarian and Finnish), and the rest pf the Albanian language comprises of ancient Greek (Doric dialect) and Latin (again, both pre-slavic). In addition, traditional Albanian cultural identity still to date is made up of pre-slavic Balkan cultural elements, such as the traditional Albanian folk costumes and dresses (white with thin black lines - just like the dresses on Emperor Justinian and other. Byzantine figures,, Oddyseus on Riman Frescoes, etc.) and the famout white Albanian scull cap called Plis , identical with ancient Pilos….also, concentric circles and zig-zag patterns on traditional Albanian clothing which are found on both Roman and Greek clothing but not on slavic…..

    Hi there, I actually wanted to add that there is a project called Rrënjet (roots in english) that is collecting all the data of albanian males(y-haplo group) who have tested themselves using independent labs. The project goal is to create a database large enough so it can give us a picture of who we albanians are. So far at least 1650 samples(which is fairly large for a country of the Albania's size) have been collected and categorized. The results are as follow: 80% of Albanians of Kosovo and 75% of Albanians of proper Albania belong to the following three haplogroups: EV13, J2B-L283, R1B-Z2013 which based on the DNA studies of old Ilyrian tombs found in southern Serbia,Croatia and some Ilyrian tombs in Albania proper, match with these ancient haplogroups. This proves scientifically that over 2/3 of Albanians are natives of western balkans. Secondally, another interesting finding (which technically was known by many) is that Albanians are overall one of the most homogeneous people of europe, meaning that we Albanians can trace our origins from only 20 ilyrian men, who after the collapse of the Roman Empire and the early incoming waves of slavic people; (The illyrian tribes went through a near total population collapse during this time ) Moved up to nearby mountains that we all Albanians can trace our paternal lineage, which is really crazy when you think about it. We can see this phenomena in the DNA data that the Project Rrënja has compiled which shows the Albanians of Kosovo paternal lineage comes from the ilyrian tribes of Dardania and some from the other ilyrian tribes of Mat-Diber region. From these two paternal lineages both regions of modern day Albania and Kosovo were repopulated. This has major implications for it debunks the theory of Serbian academics who during the 20th century made the claim that the Albanians of Kosovo moved from the Alps of Albania to Kosovo where in fact it was the opposite. The Ilyrians of Dardania(today Kosovo) were the ones who repopulated this western balkan region after 7-8th Century AD. Another interesting fact which you pointed out in this video and that the Project Rrënja confirms it as well is that in Albania proper 15% of the Albanians have slavic origins( This is due to the early slavic waves and not due to invasions of the slavic-emperies, i.e., serbian or Bulgarian) As for our southern neighbours, greeks have even a higher % of Slavic DNA than Albanians, up to 25% od the entire population. It is interesting to point out that the Albanians of Kosovo have one of the lowest slavic DNA % in the whole Balkan, prove that your video is based on some real solid research. Still it is not clear why the albanian language lacks words related to the sea, most likely the ilyrians tribes who later underwent the process of Albanization (since there are ilyrian tribes who became slavic or adapted the helenic culture) lost the sea faring conection. Happy New Year!!!

    "Much has been written and speculated about the origins of the Albanian people. From their language, we know that they are Indo-Europeans, and they seem to be native to the southern Balkans. However, whether or not they stem directly from the ancient Illyrians, as is widely assumed by the modern Albanians, or from the Dacians or Thracians or some other ancient Balkan people or peoples, IS VERY MUCH OPEN TO QUESTION."

How can you accept Albanians as descendants of the Illyrians?! These second class citizens you never managed to eliminate. Though you tried for millennia with countless genocide and never ending and assimilation. It is highly contested by Russia and Serbia, though countless academics from history to today have believes it. In Albanian the word: Illyrian has three meanings. The endless Illyrian toponyms on albanian lands. A friend of mine is called Agron, from the Illyrian king. I also knew a Teuta. I do feel for the serb people, and I have also heard them screaming about my country Kosova, being their heart.
