Serbian nationalist arguments are pathetic, especially when considering the recent DNA studies that clearly show a local Balkan origin for the Albanians, vs the Slavs that nobody in academia doubts came into the Balkans for the first time in the 7th century.
"The first certain Slavic raids date to the early 6th century during the time of the Eastern Roman Emperor Justin I (r. 518-527), coinciding with the end of the Vitalian revolt of 511-518.[8] Procopius recorded that in 518 a large army of the Antae, "who dwell close to the Sclaveni", crossed the Danube River into Roman territory"
Albanians cant be Illyrians. Illyrians was great sailors and accused for piracy at the sea... Albanians on the other hand never were and on top of that doesnt have a single naval word of Albanian origin...
@@Annatar I could agree with you on the genetic aspect of the Balkan origin but the aspect i find pathetic in the Albanian national arguments is equalizing Illyrians and Albanians in would be same as if the Serbs were to equalize Serbs and Slavs, or Germans claiming all Germanic lands. and are using these terms like Not native-Invaders, raiders for people who have been living in the area for 1400 years. the reality is even if you are descendant from Illyrians you have no idea which tribe would it be or even if it is strictly the Illyrians and not Thracians. because there is no direct historic connection between Albanians and any of the Balkan people. That's why Albanians claiming Illyrian lands has the same basis as Albanians claiming Indo-European lands the only difference is proximity and time the argument is the same. And if genetics are relevant for the claim its quite obvious that Slavs assimilated many native tribes as reflected in the south Slavic DNA, so what are we doing now measuring the average representation of the of haplogroups in general population to validate land claims? Such arguments are beyond pathetic and ridiculous.

Only difference is that what's called Greek today has very little to do with ancient Greek. It developed in Macedonian colonies in Asia and Africa and was not spoken in Greece until it was forced on the population through force replacing the native language which was Tosk Albanian.

I have seen the film "Illyricum" . And I have privilege to know prof. Ranko Matasović from days when I was a student of History and Slavistics at University of Zagreb. Also, I have a copy of book "Ancient languages of the Balkans" by prof. Radoslav Katičić. My final thesis at the History department was about origin of Etruscans. About Illyrian language.... Roman writers were making distinctions between "Illyrii propriae dicti" and other nations of "Illyricum" in wider sense, placing "Illyrii propriae dicti" in area of mostly modern Montenegro (Crna Gora = Black Mountain) and to the southernmost part of modern Croatia, making the river Neretva as most northern border of their influence; and to the south only small part of north of modern Albania. Why was that so, and why Romans didn't consider entire area of modern Albania as "Illyricum in sensu stricto", I dont know. It could be that Romans named as "Illyricum propriae dicti" exclusively only that area where specific "Illyrian kingdom" as dynastic tribal state was developed. Romans have entered into conflict with Illyrian kingdom during the 3rd and 2nd century BC, especially because of Illyrian piracy on Adriatic. Namely, illyrians were attacking and plundering ships belonging to the Greek colonies as, for example, those of Issa (modern day island Vis). An arrogant answer received from Illyrian queen Teuta and especially the killing of official Roman envoys were the cause of the war in 229/228 BC. Not only that: after the initial defeat by Romans, Illyrian kingdom started to making anti-Roman alliance with Macedonians during the Second Punic war (218-201), when Hannibal of Carthage had his campaign in Italy (Hannibal ante portas!). This was the cause of final destruction of "Illyrian kingdom"; Ardieii, the leading tribe was resettled from coast and forced to interior. Although, Greeks were using name Illyris for area of modern Albania. It was tribal region with: Penestai living in north (to the east of Penestae nation), and the Taulanti were inhabitants closer to the sea coast, where Greek Doric colonies Epidamnos (Dyrrhachium, modern Albanian city Durres, in Slavic: Drač) and Apollonia were established; to the south of Taulanti were Parauaei and Chaones, already nations belonging to the ancient Epirus, although today in southern Albania.In Greek writers we can read the story how Illyrians attacked city Phoenice in territory of Chaones (in vicinity of island Corcyra /Corfu). In Greek mythology hero Kadmos and his wife Harmonia settled among Chaones. However, we dont know nothing about language of Dalmatae, who were the strongest nation in area to the north of river Neretva; they fought many wars against Romans from 2nd century BC till the last, Batonic war in years 6 to 9 AD.The province of Dalmatia was named after them. And Roman colonia Salonae (at location of modern town Solin) near city Split, was the capital of province Dalmatia. From the river Krka, the northern neighbours of Dalmatae were nation of Liburni in area where today is city Zadar (in antiquity known as Iadera and Diadora). Liburnians also hold all the islands between Zadar and peninsula of Istria. In ancient times, before 6th century BC, Liburni were known to Greeks as a skilful seamen. The only word known from Liburnian language is "Anzotica", the name of Venus/Aphrodita . In film Illyricum that name is mentioned. It is possible that words in Croatian and Serbian language: kiša (rain) and vatra (fire) have pre-Slavic origin, because other Slavic languages for "fire" have "ogień" , ogon, ogan and similar (in Croatian language also exists word "oganj" (archaic), in Kaikavian dialect: ogenj; and rain (in Croatian: kiša) in other Slavic languages is mostly as in Polish: "deszcz" (dešč/dežđ also in Kaikavian and in Slovenian) or archaism "dažd" in shtokavian ... Some linguists consider word "vatra" as derivation from Latin "atrium" with typical prothetic Slavic voice /v/; that word is attested also in Albanian and in Romanian language and what is especially interesting in language of people Lemki (Ruthenians, subdivision of Ukrainians, historical inhabitants of Carpathian mountain region on todays border between Poland and Ukraina); so called "Lemkivske vatri" manifestation (search in internet) ... As it seems, word "vatra" in Romanian has meaning not of fire as it is, but of "fireplace". Intriguing is that in ancient Iranian language of Avesta exists word "athar"; with typical Slavic prothesis /v/ + athar, this could be also source for word "vatra". Also interesting is that in Albanian language is word "mir" meaning "good"; in South Slavic and in Ukrainian "mir" means "peace", and in Russian can also have meaning "world". It would be good thing to compare the lexic (vocabulary) of Slavic languages and of Albanian language and to see all possible borrowed words.
Good post, but the majority of linguists consider 'vatra' a word of Albanian origin. Its different meanings (fireplace, home, house etc.) and dialectal variations should be proof enough.
@@user-kb5py3hm2e It seems to me that "vatra" could not be considered as an Albanian word. Why? because it exists in both Croatian and Serbian shtokavian and today as a standard word in entire central Southslavic area (Serbia, Bosna, Montenegro/Crna Gora/Croatia); also in Romanian language, and what is surprising in language of Lemki people (on border of Poland and Ukraina in Carpathians; because I'm speaker of Croatian and also studied Polish language, when I was listening to the Lemki people language, it seems to me as being between Ukrainian, Polish, but also I recognised some connections to south Slavic languages ... namely, area of Lemki together with people of Boiki (Slovak, Hungarian, Ukrainian border) and Hutsuli (Ukraina and Romania border) is actually region where tribe/protonation of Ukrainian Croats was living during the 9th and 10th century according to the chronicle of Nestor ... So, "vatra" could be considered as word common to the Dinaric-Carpathian region ... (name Balkan is not proper name to use in this situation because the Balkan mountain is in Bulgaria and in Bulgaria as far as I know they don't have this word, neither it exists in other Slavic languages ...
@@krunomrki the fact that it exists in some West Slavic languages as well makes it very complicated but Albanian sound changes (*o- > vo-/va-) are normally very straightforward, that's why I don't think it has been a borrowing. The fact that the word occupies the same semantic field in both Albanian and Romanian indicates a Paleo-balcanic origin in my opinion.
@@user-kb5py3hm2e In modern standard Croatian language word "vatra" has the meaning of "fire", the same as today archaic word "oganj", which is found in all other Slavic languages, as in Polish: ogień. In Kaikavian and Slovenian: ogenj. In other Slavic: ogon, ogan, ohon, etc. We have in Croatian also word in meaning "fireplace": ognjište (it is related usually and traditionally with the house, expanding its meaning metaphorically to the house it self , usually as: old or ancient seat of the family). Besides the word "vatra" and "oganj" we have also word "požar" what means big , open uncontrolled, devastating fire that consumes objects like houses but also forests. (I don't know do you speak Croatian or some other Slavic language.) For example, in Kaikavian "domestic" word is "ogenj" and "vatra" is coming from shtokavian. In chakavian (spoken today in Adriatic islands in Istria and in some part of northern sea coast (primorje around city Rijeka, Vinodol) is form "oganj" ... Chakavian and Kaikavian dialects were in the past, before the Ottoman conquest during the 15th and 16th century, spoken in much larger territory than today (although Kaikavian is internationaly recognised as a language with tradition of written literature from 15th century till today). And shtokavian was penetrating with migrations during Ottoman wars from Bosna and from other regions in the Balkan interior. And "vatra" spread with those migrations. Territory of Croatian state before Ottomans was mostly chakavian and shchakavian (using "ča" and "šća" for "what" while in shtokavian is "što" and often "šta"; in Kaikavian: kaj? Some Croatian poets of 17th century were using the a mixture of all three Croatian dialects, as Fran Krsto Frankopan did.
Shouldn't be hard at all to see Illyrian/Albanian deep in antiquity with Greek dieties. Aphrodite (Venus) in Albanian is Aferdite, where afer= near and dite= day. Near day or morning star. Thalia muse if comedy. Albanian Tallja = The Mocking Pythia, Oracle at Delphi. Albanian Pytja = The question. Demetria, godes of harvests. Albanian Dhemitra where dhe= earth and mitra= woumb/uterus. Thetis, goddess of the sea. Albanian Deti = Sea. Ionian Sea. Albanian Deti Jon meanin Our Sea. Jon = our. Same as Romans called the Mediterranean, Mare Nostum (our sea) There are so many more just the more obvious ones, that for some strange reason are not mentioned by linguists.
Lots of politics entered into the Illyrian question. When I lived in Trieste in the 1950s my school friends used to call me "Illyrico" after telling them that my ancestors hailed from the Serbian land of Montenegro. Later, when I went to university one of my professor postulated that we only have sources that they existed in the Balkans and fused with others as migrations shifted, but we have no evidence of their written or spoken language and if it is a "lesser-known Indo-European language", then it can only be closer to old Romanian (Cici, a Vlah people living near Trieste) with many Latin and Slavic words in the mix.
The evidence is extremely limited so we have to bear that in mind but put it this way, if someone asked me for some reason to recreate a sentence in Illyrian - I'd do exactly what Matasovic did and base it on Albanian.
@@LearnHittite I lean this way myself. It also used to be widely thought that Albanian descended from Thracian, but, not sure how much of a thing that still is. Anyway, excellent work, thank you.
This is brilliant! Regarding the word “dhünoti” at 11:10, it seems very similar to the word “Dhunti” in modern Albanian, which sort of means talent, or a natural skill that is “given” to someone.
Bardylis (“Bardhyll” in modern Albanian language meaning “White-Star”) was king of the Illyrians during 393-358 B.C.E. He was born around 448 B.C.E. as a member of the Illyrian tribe of the Enchelei. The Enchelei inhabited primarily the area around lake Lychnidus (Ohrid).

Last year prof. Matasovic was invited in the The 41st International Seminar on the Albanian Language, Literature and Culture organized by the University of Prishtina to hold a lecture on this topic. He participated online and did a presentation called "Reimagining Illyrian". I wasn't able to go to Prishtina and listen to what he said but i wrote him an email and he kindly sent me the Power Point presentation. Of course a ppt presentation is only a shadow of a lecture but still it was kind of him to respond. I haven't seen the film yet, but i saw some interviews from a few albanian actors who were in the project, and who claimed to have been an interesting experience.
Sica (pronounced sika) - study croatian word "to cut" , namely dalmatian idiom ("ikavica"; Dalmatia is the coastal region in Croatia). We have many words derived from it: To cut = sjeći (dalmatian: sići); sikač (cutter), sikavica (plant silybum marianum, with leaves that really do cut), sikavac (all the other similar plants), sicati (also to cut, but also old word for tattooing in the past, done by making small cuts) etc. etc. Sibina - well, we have a word "šiba", I cannot remember the english translation, but it's definitely a long, thin and straight branch, the kind our parents would spank us with😂. Definitely a similar object. Sabaia - if it's true that this drink was made of oats (as I heard it was), we call oats "zob", so bearing in mind the word was recorded by non-illyrians, it could be that the drink was actually called "zobaia", which would make perfect sense.
Not only Nefillim = In the Begining in Albanian. Bereshit, or Genesis, where Beresit = The Making in Albanian. Hyll, in Isaiah, which was translated as Lucifer. In Albanian Hyll= Star. The passage says if I remember correctly "Oh Hyll of the morning how low you have fallen." Urim and Thumim. Albanian Urim = Blessing, and Thumim Geg Dialect or Thumbim, literary = Sting. But even Genesis, in Albanian Gjenesa, where Gje = things/matter, and Nisa= Start. Basically the beginning of creation. Albanian is a goldmine kept hidden in plain site. Those Pelasgians must have traveled a lot.

@@HarryHaller-jd7hz What idiocy. How come Albanian Yll/Hyll comes from Turkish when we have tons of Illyrian names like Bardyllus, which in modern Albanian is Badhyll and it literally means White Star? Albanian Bardh=White, Yll=Star.
@GJ-dj4jx the Albanian word "bardhë" originates from Balto-Slavic, in fact if you translate "white" into Lithuanian the result is "baltas", so are Lithuanians Illyrians too? The name Bardhyl is an ethnonym, that is, he was the king of a tribe called "Bardiei" and lived in Liburnia, we don't know what the Illyrians called "white" so it's like playing the lottery to assume that it means "white star" , after all, would you call a person with a meaning like that? If in Albania you want to give ancient Illyrian names to newborns you are free to do so, the other states choose the ones they like whether they are of Jewish, Latin or Germanic origin, it will not be the name that will demonstrate the origin.
@@HarryHaller-jd7hzYes, hence the Pan-Illyrian theory. Germanic and Celtic languages have a lot of Albanian words too. IMO it makes sense that the migration happened from Anatolia, to Illyrian Peninsula (Balkan) moving to the rest of Europe. Other later migrations has happened as well
The reason why Illyrian is connected with Venetian is Alfoldy. He was the first to try to theorize how the inhabitants of Illyricum spoke, and given the lack of records, he studied personal names from the 1st century in the Roman province of Dalmatia (southern half of Illyricum). Among other things, he found 2 Venetian names in the north of Liburnia and first concluded that the Liburni were close to the Veneti, and then others immediately applied it to the whole of Illyricum, considering the Liburni as one of the Illyrians. Subsequently, when other scientists made a more detailed study and included toponyms in consideration, the categorization changed. The Liburnians have nothing to do with the Veneti, but they are not Illyrians either. In that film, a Liburnian person speaks "Illyrian", it's a big mistake. Liburnian should be at least one I-E migration older than the others in Illyricum. Centumization is obvious with personal names and toponyms from these studies so it was easy to relate Illyrian to Centum group. Messapic is the result of the migration of the Proto-Illyrians, not the Illyrians, that migration happened at the end of the Bronze Age and was not the only one of its kind, Iapodes also crossed the Adriatic, the Siculi too (500 years later they would move from Italy to Sicily and give it its current name). The languages and cultures of the Illyrii, Delamate, Panoni were then only emerging at the beginning of the Iron Age, while the Liburnians made their way from the Bronze to the Iron with an older speech - due to their geographical location, they were bypassed by the stratification of the population with new arrivals from the I-E migration 3,300 years ago. In short, Illyrian and Messapic share a source and were probably in contact at the beginning or the 1st part of the Iron Age. Since the middle of the Iron Age, the situation was changing on the Adriatic but also on the Apennines, and the connections between the two coasts weakened.
How can you be 100% sure? Firstly the Greeks write it down as either Bardylis or Bardulis, not Bardhyll. There is an alternative explanation. We can start with the PIE root *wor which means 'to watch over' 'protect'. Balto-Slavic languages had the sound change *o to *a - *war. We add the ending -da (words like pravda, krivda, vražda) and get *warda/*varda which would mean something like protection. To that we add the suffix -ul which was used in making names (example Radul from 'rad') and you get Wardul/Vardul meaning 'protector' 'defender'. That would basically be the same name as Alexander, Alexius or Slavic names like Branko. The Greeks wrote B instead of the /w/ or /v/ sounds they did not have and added their grammatical ending -is so they wrote it down as Bardulis.

There is still an area near Albanian Adriatic coast right across Italy call Mesapik. You can google it. In Albanian 'mes' means 'middle'. You also have Messina, a city in Italy right in the middle of the small strip of land that connects Italy to Sicily.

South Slavs come from Slavic migrators in Eastern Europe and are unrelated to the peoples of antiquity. Maybe there was some mixing but no legitimate claim to being their descendants.

@@nebojsastevanovic3822 i will try to be as comprehensive as possible, so Before the slavs came south (excluding bulgarians) the area was inhabited by the Illyrians when the slavs came down to Balkans (again, excluding Bulgaria) they settled down in those lands And therefore, they lived amongst the native Illyrians, which is why i believe they're all descendants of Illyrians, because if they lived together, they must have "mixed" together (i hate saying mixed when talking about ethnicities, it makes me feel bad) It is also why they have unconventional slavic names, and also speak a language much different from modern Polish, Russian and more (excluding loanwords and ect) as to why they all speak Slavic/Serbian, i think the government of the Serbian Empire had influence on the inhabitants (And later the romans and ottomans establishing regional goverments for the ethnicities to cooperate) i came up with this because it makes sense for me, i hope i put it in a way that makes sense for anyone reading

It’s probably closer to a Greek dialect then any other language I’m surprised you haven’t mentioned that the Greeks knew and wrote more then anyone else about the Illyrians
A lot of modern Greeks(Arvanites) have Albanian ancestry, and the modern Greek language is constructed with a lot of Albanian elements in it. Most likely the ancient Greeks were part Illyrians as well, the Dorians for example, associated with the words Dru- ( wood, woodland, etc. ), Dor- (hand, to give etc. ) and the -ian(they are). Illyrian/Yllirian/Hellenes/Ellines --very similar words and meanings, probably different variants.
The Albanian language has a strong resemblance to the Messapic language,Illyrian or not,it has ancient roots and its attested early.On the other hand there is absolutely no proof that the irish and scottish people descended from celts,as there is no recorded celtic migration in these lands,the celts were propably primitive tribes which spoke different languages and went extinct.But also the Illyrian ethnonym is wrong,because in these lands there were organised Kindoms such the Ardiaean Kingdom,the Kingdom of the Dardanians,and the Kingdom of the Taulantians,no such thing as" Illyrians" they were called Illyrians by others.The film Illyricum do not illustrate the true culture of these people, and portrays them as uncivillised as the celts or the germanics,and mind you the terms "celts" and "germanics" are not correct as we do not know how these tribesmen called themselves

If you take the Slavic out of the equation, in the once called Illyrian peninsula, you are left with a bunch of Illyrian-Thracian-Dardanian tribes, that in reality are the same people, with the same language but in dialects. Because that in modern times we have many countries, all pretending to be native to the land, of course you are going to have mysteries like this. But the ancient Balkans was all Albanian. They traveled and fought so far, from India to Africa and Great Britain. This is the one thing that modern historians can't swallow.
The knew that's the case that's why there was a good number of linguists that believed in Pan- Illyria. But for political reasons modern linguists ignores the evidence.
Albanians through propaganda like in this video try desperately to convince themselves and others that they have not been goat growers only but that they do have some history as nation. Albanians do not appear in any significant historic event during last 3000 years and the Albanian language is poor in diction and of miserable sound , being without alphabet until 1908 !!!! .
Can anyone provide linguistical proofs that will counter the fact that only through obvious Albanian linguistic connection we can relate the meanings of Thraco-Illyrian personal names, name of tribal communities and regions which prove that Albanian language and ethnos is the only survivor of Thraco-Illyrian Branch (Balkan Indo-European) of Indo-European language family and descendants of the last unified small isolated linguistic Thraco-Illyrian dialects fused in some sort of last linguistical and cultural effort to survive in form of partially or weakly Latin influenced Thraco-Illyrian creole and last cultural remnants of Thraco-lllyrian culture in the age of intense linguistical and cultural Latinisation and Hellenisation. -Liburni (alb.

Albanoi (Arbanoi) were an Illyrian tribe. They were possibly first mentioned by Hecataeus of Miletus (550-476 BCE) under the name 'Abroi'. ClaudiusPtolemy (100-170 CE) is the first author who mentions them under the name 'Albanoi'. Their central settlement was called Albanopolis and was located roughly between the Mat and Shkumbin rivers, in present-day central Albania. The archaeological site of Zgërdhesh near town of Krujë has been identified as the likely location of Albanopolis. Stephanus of Byzantium who reproduced Hecataeus added an entry for another settlement named 'Arbon' in Illyria whose inhabitants were called 'Arbonioi' or 'Arbonites'. Another Arbon was recorded by Polybius. John of Nikiû wrote in the 7th century CE about a people known as 'Arbanitai' in the Greek translation of the manuscript. In the Middle Ages, the names 'Albanoi' and Arbanitai/'Albanitai' referred to medieval Albanians as an ethnic group. The equivalent terms in Latin are 'Albanenses'/'Arbanenses', in Vlach: 'Arbineș', in Slavic: 'Arbanasi' and later in Turkish: 'Arnaut'. These names reflect the Albanian ethnic endonym 'Arbër'/'Arbëreshë'/'Arbëneshë', which 'Albanoi' derives itself. In the archaeological records, the Albanoi are mentioned on a funeral inscription in Stobi (present-day central North Macedonia) and Albanopolis is mentioned on another funeral inscription near Scupi (Skopje). Another ethnonym, 'Arbaios' found in locality of Finiq (Phoenice) is likely linked to them.
Polybius (200-118 BCE) mentions a location named "Arbon" in his description of the Roman-Illyrian Wars. "Arbon" in a series of mistranslations has been named an "island" or a "city" even though Polybius never mentions it as such. The place has not been identified, and it is unlikely that it refers to the northern Adriatic island of Rab (attested for the first time as Arba (Arbëria) by Pliny). An interdisciplinary reading of the passage indicates that "Arbon" might actually have been in central Albania, roughly in the same location as the later Albanopolis (Ptolemy) and Arbanon (Anna Komnene). Wilhelm Tomaschek (1841-1901) considered Arbon to be the "first attestation of the modern name of Albania". Ptolemy (100-170 CE) is the first author who mentions the ethnonym of the Albanoi in "Geographia". The Albanoi are mentioned in the third book of "Geographia". They were a people who lived in the region between Mat and Shkumbin rivers and held the settlement Albanopolis. Johann Georg von Hahn first noted that the suffix -polis ("city") was probably added at a later date by other authors as in other editions it is mentioned as "Albanos polis" or "Albanos". Archelogical site of Zgërdhesh near town of Krujë has been identified as the likely location of Albanopolis. It is not certain if its location corresponds to the region mentioned as Arbanon mentioned by Anna Komnene in the "Alexiad" about events related to the First Norman invasion of the Balkans(1081). An indication of movement from higher altitudes in a much earlier period has been detected in the distribution of Albanian place names ending in -esh, derives from the Latin -ensis (Vulgar Latin -ēsis), between the Shkumbin and the Mat rivers, with a concentration between modern towns of Elbasan and Krujë. John of Nikiû (7th century), a Coptic bishop mentions in the French translation of a manuscript titled "Chronicle" that barbarians, foreign peoples and Illyrians, ravaged the cities of the Christians and took the inhabitants alive in the Byzantine Empire. Hermann Zotenberg who translated the "Chronicle" from Geʽez (Ethiopian) to French rendered with the term Illyrians, a term which in the original manuscript corresponded to 'Alwerikon'. 'Alwerikon' in the Romaica (Byzantine) Greek translation of the "Chronicle" corresponded to the term Albani(k/t)on (genitive of Albanitai). Constantine Sathas (1842-1912) who first recorded the discrepancy between different translations considered the mention of 'Alwerikon' an attestation of the same population as the Illyrian 'Albanoi'. Michael Attaleiates (1022-1080) mentions the term 'Albanoi' twice and the term 'Arbanitai' once. The term 'Albanoi' is used first to describe the groups which rebelled in southern Italy and Sicily against the Byzantines in 1038-40. The second use of the term 'Albanoi' is related to groups which supported the revolt of George Maniakes in 1042 and marched with him throughout the Balkans against the Byzantine capital, Constantinople. The term 'Arvanitai' is used to describe a revolt of Bulgarians (Boulgaroi) and Arbanitai in the Theme (Province) of Dyrrhachium (Durrës) in 1078-79. It is generally accepted that 'Arbanitai' refers to the ethnonym of medieval Albanians. As such, it is considered to be the first attestation of Albanians as an ethnic group in Eastern Roman (Byzantine) historiography. The use of the term 'Albanoi' in 1038-49 and 1042 as an ethnonym related to Albanians have been a subject of debate. In what has been termed the "Vranoussi-Ducellier debate", Alain Ducellier proposed that both uses of the term referred to medieval Albanians. Era Vranoussi counter-suggested that the first use referred to Normans, while the second didn't have an ethnic connotation necessarily and could be a reference to the Normans as "foreigners" (aubain) in Epirus which Maniakes and his army traversed. This debate has never been resolved. A newer very possible synthesis about the second use of the term Albanoi by historian Pëllumb Xhufi suggests that the term Albanoi may have referred to Albanians of the specific district of Arbanon, while Arbanitai to Albanians in general regardless of the specific region they inhabited. From thereon, in the next centuries, the term Albanoi is used extensively as the ethnonym for medieval Albanians in Byzantine literature. Albanoi is the formal term for Albanians in modern Greek and until the 20th century it was used interchangeably with the term Arbanitai, which now in Greek refers exclusively to Arvanites. These names reflect the Albanian endonym Arbër/n + esh which itself derives from the same root as the name of the Albanoi.
....The linguists Stefan Schumacher and Joachim Matzinger (University of Vienna) assert that the first literary records of Albanian date from the 16th century. The oldest known Albanian printed book, Meshari, or "missal", was written in 1555 by Gjon Buzuku, a Roman Catholic cleric...... If the Albanian language is so old, why are there no written documents in that language in 1500 years. Illyrians have haplogroup I2, which is dominant among the people of the former Yugoslavia (Dinarians), while this haplogroup is negligible among Albanians.
according to albanian dictionary channel the Illyrian and Hellenic language were one and the same. however, it was not one language but rather a group of more than a dozen dialects some non intelligible with each other. For this reason we have the dictionary of Hesychius which you referenced in your presentation. the Helens did not understand many of the iylyrian words that were in their ancient texts, thats why they created the dictionary in alexandria. also albanian language cannot be explained by toponims because o more then 30 invasions throughtout history and names which each culture has left behind. there are many other arguments that the researcher brings out
@@tony232cool I tend to agree. Many dialects/languages like Illyrian ones all coming from same proto Greek and Albanian.

The Albanian connection is dubious to say the least. The small amount of words recorded makes it easy to swing the theory in any way you want. Just by using your own examples I can explain 'sica' with Slavic root word meaning 'to cut' *sěkti. 'Sabaia' can be explained with Slavic word for 'oat' *zobъ, being an oat-beer of sort. Edit: Sibina as spear can also be explained with South Slavic 'svib' meaning dogwood. Dogwood was widely used in the ancient world for spears and the 'v' in old Slavic was most likely pronounced as /w/ which is why it is often omitted in Greek writings.
Are you really trying to turn slavs into illyrians? Youre traitors to the culture, maybe you are genetically illyrian, but you have lost all the language and culture. Illyrian myths remain in Albanian culture and language to this day.
@@MilkmanEditsAL The post was about the possibility of analysing Illyrian as a Slavic language... That's basically proof that Slavs existed in the Balkans at that time and that Illyrians were in fact Slavs. Archeology points to no significant change in material culture before and after the 'Slavic migration' as well. There was an influx of 'Prague culture' pottery, and a reversal of the process of Latinization and even Christianization which might point to the root of the misconception. Illyrians were Slavs just as the Slavs that lived outside of the Roman Empire, but were by the 6th century culturally partially romanized. A new wave of Slavic elites came from accross the Danube and pulled the partially romanized Slavs/Illyrian back into Slavdom. The new Slavic elite was most likely from the Prague culture, which would also explain how come that culture was seemingly placed upon the local Illyrian without any break in continuity.
Not sure if you're a troll. But how do you explain so many Greek deities being in Albanian then? Aphrodite (Venus) in Albanian is Aferdite, where afer= near and dite= day. Near day, or morning star. Instead linguists say it come from greek foam. Thalia muse if comedy. Albanian Tallja = The Mocking. Linguists say it comes from Greek Thalien, to flourish. Pythia, Oracle at Delphi. Albanian Pytja = The question. All kinds of worthless explanations connecting it to Greek. Demetria, godes of harvests. Albanian Dhemitra where dhe= earth and mitra= woumb/uterus. Thetis, goddess of the sea. Albanian Deti = Sea. Ionian Sea. Albanian = Deti Jon meanin Our Sea. Jon = Our in Alb. Same as Romans called the Mediterranean Sea, Mare Nostum (Our Sea) There are so many more just mentioning most obvious ones, that for some strange reason are not mentioned by linguists.
Albanian nationalists claim that certain words in Homer’s Iliad have Albanian roots as part of a broader narrative to assert the ancient origins of the Albanian language and link it to the Illyrians, who they considered the ancestors of Albanians. These claims often suggest that traces of the Albanian language, appear in ancient Greek texts, thereby emphasizing a long-standing historical presence in the Balkans. However, mainstream linguistic scholarship dismisses these claims as linguistically unfounded, noting that any perceived similarities between Albanian and Greek words are coincidental and lack historical or linguistic context. Additionally, the Iliad was composed centuries before the development of the Albanian language, and no credible evidence suggests a connection between ancient Greek and Albanian in this regard. This type of claim is typically part of nationalistic revisionism, aimed at establishing a deep-rooted historical continuity for modern Albanian identity.😂
Some peoples in the Balkans try to add certain Greek flavour in their culture to make it appear somehow more historic and prestigious.. Albanian language is of no significance in the world linguistic science being poor , of limited to zero productive in the world literature ..

@@ljuta_krajina Pan- Illyrianism, that's where it's at. The Pelasgians were the original Arians and spread the language/culture which was kept as pure as it can be in the Albanian mountains, and especially by the Dardanians, who had colonies such as Troy and never got fully subjugated.

There is not ilirian language. Shqip (albanian) is the language that spoke Pellasgi and their descendant that lived in Ilirian peninsula and today the people that live in south west of the Ilirian peninsula (Ballkan peninsula).
The albanian language is not from the Illyrian dialect. The albanian language is a Caucasian language which has turkish, Greek, slavic, and latin words.. The albanians came from the Albanian Caucasian river along with turks after the byzantine period means after the year 1453 and spoke a turkish type language without alphabet and letters
@@darladallddoria143Albanian is nothing like Turkish, grammatically, phonetically, morphologically, and the most important, Albanian is an Indo-European language, proven by facts that it origins from Paleo-Balkan languages, along with Greek and Thracians, while Turkish and the "Albanian" of Caucasus (which it is proven that don't have to do with Albanians) is Altaic. Anyways, who am I explaining to..., to a person that has just hate
Shouldn't be hard at all to see Illyrian/Albanian deep in antiquity with Greek dieties. Aphrodite (Venus) in Albanian is Aferdite, where afer= near and dite= day. Near day, or morning star. Instead linguists say it come from greek foam. Thalia muse of comedy: Albanian Tallja = The Mocking. Linguists say it comes from Greek Thalien, to flourish. Pythia, Oracle at Delphi. Albanian Pytja = The question. All kinds of worthless explanations connecting it to Greek. Demeter, goddess of harvests. In Albanian it's Dhemiter where dhe= earth and miter= womb/uterus. Thetis, goddess of the sea. Albanian Deti = Sea. Ionian Sea. In Albanian it's called Deti Jon, which literally means Our Sea. Jon = Our in Albanian (Albanian J is pronounced as Y in English, as in You). It's the same as Romans called the Mediterranean Sea, Mare Nostrum which in Latin also means Our Sea. Coincidence? I don't think so. There are so many more just mentioning most obvious ones, that for some strange reason are not mentioned by linguists.

Should I or should I not?😂😂😂 I think people far to much concentrate on descending theories. Almost like it would be impossible for a language to be born aside from dialectal and chronological spread. But language hybridization and creoles are a thing! Not to mention, that the further back we go, we expect the languages should become more similar. If now a proto Ilyrian word in the balkans, has similarities to a proto Celtic word in Irland, then these two words dont mean that they are descendents of each other. Km pretty sure Ilyrian is also considered a IE language, so similarities to other IE languages should be expected, and unless we can reliably reconstruct the proces of one word entering another language, we can not simply imply a heritage. Lets just further ignore that the eastward expandi celts surely had contact with Ilyrians and it also coud be a loan the other way around. None the less, it remains speculative.
You have made a faux pas. In your depiction of the Illyrian Peninsula, you have shown the Republic of Kosovo as belonging to Serbia.

only the Albanian language is the Illyrian Pelasgian language and the old Greek, the Slavic language is a language similar to Russian, while the "Greek" language is a religious language, not an old language, today's Greek language has no resemblance to the ancient Hellenic language, while the Albanian is the most ancient language in the Illyrian peninsula, which today is called (Balkan) and in the Iliad in Homer there are words of the Albanian language.
Greek language is older than Christianity by more than 1500 years. Therefore it is totally wrong to say that Greek is a religious language ( i.e. not an Ethnic one) ...it is true though that Christianity managed to spread all over the place using the Greek language as a tool being the most known in the world at that time.
@@georgegiallousis4400 The language (Greek) spoken today in Greece is a technical language, the Greek language has changed twice since 1823, the Greek language spoken today in Greece has nothing in common with the ancient ( Helen) language, it is a religious language.🤷🏻♂️
Greek is not similar to Russian and IS NOT a religious language as it is active and evolving since antiquity i.e. it is older than Christianity therefore cannot be religious.. The first written Greek letters were found on baked mud tablets, in the remains of the Minoan Knossos Palace of Crete island. This language is known as Linear A and it has not been fully decoded till today. The most famous example of Linear A is written in the famous Phaistos Disc. In the 12th century BC, a new language started to develop, called Linear B, where each drawing symbol is a consonant-vowel combination. Linear B dates from the Mycenaean civilization.
The Greek language is well documented as being one of the oldest languages. In fact, it has the most extended history of all Indo-European languages. The earliest inscriptions of Greek words written using the Ancient Greek alphabet date back to 1400 BC, equating to 3,400 years of written records. At the time, more people were speaking Greek than any other language across the Mediterranean. Today , as the Ancient Greek language evolved through ages in various forms , modern Greek is the version of the language that evolved from Ancient Greek through the Medieval Greek .
What about Albanian’ connection with Romanian? Do you think proto-Albanian originated further north than modern Albania? Were proto Albanians neighbors with proto greeks?

It seems to me that there is some kind of connection from Illyrian to Albainian, but maybe it's like comparing, say, Oscan to Spanish. A more recent connection to a common ancestor than other languages but not necessarily a direct descendant. But, I think people hate that it's just not entirely knowable. It's certainly plausible that Albanians are the direct descendants of Illyrians, but probably just not so certain that's it's a wagon to hitch all your nationalist aspirations to, though. However, I think the notion that Albanians are not Paleo-Balkan at all is implausible to the point that's it's swinging a nationalist pendulum too far in the opposite direction.
Considering the most recent data by Matzinger, there is no doubt Albanian and Illyrian were two completely different languages. Proto-Albanian was alongside Messapic and Armenian part of the half-satemized paleo-Balkan branch. Not Illyrian and not Thracian, but probably unattested populations with a homeland in the central Balkans, from where Armenians migrated to the east and Messapic speakers to the west, before the Bronze Age collapse.

There isnt a single mention of albanians or albanoid speaking peoples moving into the balkans. But somehow every other nation is attested (the slavs, the bulgars, the goths, heck even the greeks), this is because the albanian ethnogenesis happened in the balkans from the few surviving tribes in the mountains of the original paleobalkanic peoples.

Serbian nationalist arguments are pathetic, especially when considering the recent DNA studies that clearly show a local Balkan origin for the Albanians, vs the Slavs that nobody in academia doubts came into the Balkans for the first time in the 7th century.
"The first certain Slavic raids date to the early 6th century during the time of the Eastern Roman Emperor Justin I (r. 518-527), coinciding with the end of the Vitalian revolt of 511-518.[8] Procopius recorded that in 518 a large army of the Antae, "who dwell close to the Sclaveni", crossed the Danube River into Roman territory"
@@LobotimirMerkanski ok, 6th not 7th. Raiders and invaders. Not Illyrians, not Thracian, not Greek. Outsiders
Albanians cant be Illyrians. Illyrians was great sailors and accused for piracy at the sea... Albanians on the other hand never were and on top of that doesnt have a single naval word of Albanian origin...
@@Annatar I could agree with you on the genetic aspect of the Balkan origin but the aspect i find pathetic in the Albanian national arguments is equalizing Illyrians and Albanians in would be same as if the Serbs were to equalize Serbs and Slavs, or Germans claiming all Germanic lands. and are using these terms like Not native-Invaders, raiders for people who have been living in the area for 1400 years. the reality is even if you are descendant from Illyrians you have no idea which tribe would it be or even if it is strictly the Illyrians and not Thracians. because there is no direct historic connection between Albanians and any of the Balkan people. That's why Albanians claiming Illyrian lands has the same basis as Albanians claiming Indo-European lands the only difference is proximity and time the argument is the same.
And if genetics are relevant for the claim its quite obvious that Slavs assimilated many native tribes as reflected in the south Slavic DNA, so what are we doing now measuring the average representation of the of haplogroups in general population to validate land claims? Such arguments are beyond pathetic and ridiculous.

I have seen the film "Illyricum" . And I have privilege to know prof. Ranko Matasović from days when I was a student of History and Slavistics at University of Zagreb. Also, I have a copy of book "Ancient languages of the Balkans" by prof. Radoslav Katičić. My final thesis at the History department was about origin of Etruscans. About Illyrian language.... Roman writers were making distinctions between "Illyrii propriae dicti" and other nations of "Illyricum" in wider sense, placing "Illyrii propriae dicti" in area of mostly modern Montenegro (Crna Gora = Black Mountain) and to the southernmost part of modern Croatia, making the river Neretva as most northern border of their influence; and to the south only small part of north of modern Albania. Why was that so, and why Romans didn't consider entire area of modern Albania as "Illyricum in sensu stricto", I dont know. It could be that Romans named as "Illyricum propriae dicti" exclusively only that area where specific "Illyrian kingdom" as dynastic tribal state was developed. Romans have entered into conflict with Illyrian kingdom during the 3rd and 2nd century BC, especially because of Illyrian piracy on Adriatic. Namely, illyrians were attacking and plundering ships belonging to the Greek colonies as, for example, those of Issa (modern day island Vis). An arrogant answer received from Illyrian queen Teuta and especially the killing of official Roman envoys were the cause of the war in 229/228 BC. Not only that: after the initial defeat by Romans, Illyrian kingdom started to making anti-Roman alliance with Macedonians during the Second Punic war (218-201), when Hannibal of Carthage had his campaign in Italy (Hannibal ante portas!). This was the cause of final destruction of "Illyrian kingdom"; Ardieii, the leading tribe was resettled from coast and forced to interior. Although, Greeks were using name Illyris for area of modern Albania. It was tribal region with: Penestai living in north (to the east of Penestae nation), and the Taulanti were inhabitants closer to the sea coast, where Greek Doric colonies Epidamnos (Dyrrhachium, modern Albanian city Durres, in Slavic: Drač) and Apollonia were established; to the south of Taulanti were Parauaei and Chaones, already nations belonging to the ancient Epirus, although today in southern Albania.In Greek writers we can read the story how Illyrians attacked city Phoenice in territory of Chaones (in vicinity of island Corcyra /Corfu). In Greek mythology hero Kadmos and his wife Harmonia settled among Chaones. However, we dont know nothing about language of Dalmatae, who were the strongest nation in area to the north of river Neretva; they fought many wars against Romans from 2nd century BC till the last, Batonic war in years 6 to 9 AD.The province of Dalmatia was named after them. And Roman colonia Salonae (at location of modern town Solin) near city Split, was the capital of province Dalmatia. From the river Krka, the northern neighbours of Dalmatae were nation of Liburni in area where today is city Zadar (in antiquity known as Iadera and Diadora). Liburnians also hold all the islands between Zadar and peninsula of Istria. In ancient times, before 6th century BC, Liburni were known to Greeks as a skilful seamen. The only word known from Liburnian language is "Anzotica", the name of Venus/Aphrodita . In film Illyricum that name is mentioned. It is possible that words in Croatian and Serbian language: kiša (rain) and vatra (fire) have pre-Slavic origin, because other Slavic languages for "fire" have "ogień" , ogon, ogan and similar (in Croatian language also exists word "oganj" (archaic), in Kaikavian dialect: ogenj; and rain (in Croatian: kiša) in other Slavic languages is mostly as in Polish: "deszcz" (dešč/dežđ also in Kaikavian and in Slovenian) or archaism "dažd" in shtokavian ... Some linguists consider word "vatra" as derivation from Latin "atrium" with typical prothetic Slavic voice /v/; that word is attested also in Albanian and in Romanian language and what is especially interesting in language of people Lemki (Ruthenians, subdivision of Ukrainians, historical inhabitants of Carpathian mountain region on todays border between Poland and Ukraina); so called "Lemkivske vatri" manifestation (search in internet) ... As it seems, word "vatra" in Romanian has meaning not of fire as it is, but of "fireplace". Intriguing is that in ancient Iranian language of Avesta exists word "athar"; with typical Slavic prothesis /v/ + athar, this could be also source for word "vatra". Also interesting is that in Albanian language is word "mir" meaning "good"; in South Slavic and in Ukrainian "mir" means "peace", and in Russian can also have meaning "world". It would be good thing to compare the lexic (vocabulary) of Slavic languages and of Albanian language and to see all possible borrowed words.
Good post, but the majority of linguists consider 'vatra' a word of Albanian origin. Its different meanings (fireplace, home, house etc.) and dialectal variations should be proof enough.
@@user-kb5py3hm2e It seems to me that "vatra" could not be considered as an Albanian word. Why? because it exists in both Croatian and Serbian shtokavian and today as a standard word in entire central Southslavic area (Serbia, Bosna, Montenegro/Crna Gora/Croatia); also in Romanian language, and what is surprising in language of Lemki people (on border of Poland and Ukraina in Carpathians; because I'm speaker of Croatian and also studied Polish language, when I was listening to the Lemki people language, it seems to me as being between Ukrainian, Polish, but also I recognised some connections to south Slavic languages ... namely, area of Lemki together with people of Boiki (Slovak, Hungarian, Ukrainian border) and Hutsuli (Ukraina and Romania border) is actually region where tribe/protonation of Ukrainian Croats was living during the 9th and 10th century according to the chronicle of Nestor ... So, "vatra" could be considered as word common to the Dinaric-Carpathian region ... (name Balkan is not proper name to use in this situation because the Balkan mountain is in Bulgaria and in Bulgaria as far as I know they don't have this word, neither it exists in other Slavic languages ...
@@krunomrki the fact that it exists in some West Slavic languages as well makes it very complicated but Albanian sound changes (*o- > vo-/va-) are normally very straightforward, that's why I don't think it has been a borrowing. The fact that the word occupies the same semantic field in both Albanian and Romanian indicates a Paleo-balcanic origin in my opinion.
@@user-kb5py3hm2e In modern standard Croatian language word "vatra" has the meaning of "fire", the same as today archaic word "oganj", which is found in all other Slavic languages, as in Polish: ogień. In Kaikavian and Slovenian: ogenj. In other Slavic: ogon, ogan, ohon, etc. We have in Croatian also word in meaning "fireplace": ognjište (it is related usually and traditionally with the house, expanding its meaning metaphorically to the house it self , usually as: old or ancient seat of the family). Besides the word "vatra" and "oganj" we have also word "požar" what means big , open uncontrolled, devastating fire that consumes objects like houses but also forests. (I don't know do you speak Croatian or some other Slavic language.) For example, in Kaikavian "domestic" word is "ogenj" and "vatra" is coming from shtokavian. In chakavian (spoken today in Adriatic islands in Istria and in some part of northern sea coast (primorje around city Rijeka, Vinodol) is form "oganj" ... Chakavian and Kaikavian dialects were in the past, before the Ottoman conquest during the 15th and 16th century, spoken in much larger territory than today (although Kaikavian is internationaly recognised as a language with tradition of written literature from 15th century till today). And shtokavian was penetrating with migrations during Ottoman wars from Bosna and from other regions in the Balkan interior. And "vatra" spread with those migrations. Territory of Croatian state before Ottomans was mostly chakavian and shchakavian (using "ča" and "šća" for "what" while in shtokavian is "što" and often "šta"; in Kaikavian: kaj? Some Croatian poets of 17th century were using the a mixture of all three Croatian dialects, as Fran Krsto Frankopan did.
Shouldn't be hard at all to see Illyrian/Albanian deep in antiquity with Greek dieties.

There are so many more just the more obvious ones, that for some strange reason are not mentioned by linguists.
Lots of politics entered into the Illyrian question. When I lived in Trieste in the 1950s my school friends used to call me "Illyrico" after telling them that my ancestors hailed from the Serbian land of Montenegro. Later, when I went to university one of my professor postulated that we only have sources that they existed in the Balkans and fused with others as migrations shifted, but we have no evidence of their written or spoken language and if it is a "lesser-known Indo-European language", then it can only be closer to old Romanian (Cici, a Vlah people living near Trieste) with many Latin and Slavic words in the mix.
Brilliant video. So, am I correct in my understanding that you more or less think Albanian should be considered it's descendant?
The evidence is extremely limited so we have to bear that in mind but put it this way, if someone asked me for some reason to recreate a sentence in Illyrian - I'd do exactly what Matasovic did and base it on Albanian.
@@LearnHittite I lean this way myself. It also used to be widely thought that Albanian descended from Thracian, but, not sure how much of a thing that still is. Anyway, excellent work, thank you.

Last year prof. Matasovic was invited in the The 41st International Seminar on the Albanian Language, Literature and Culture organized by the University of Prishtina to hold a lecture on this topic. He participated online and did a presentation called "Reimagining Illyrian". I wasn't able to go to Prishtina and listen to what he said but i wrote him an email and he kindly sent me the Power Point presentation. Of course a ppt presentation is only a shadow of a lecture but still it was kind of him to respond.

Sica (pronounced sika) - study croatian word "to cut" , namely dalmatian idiom ("ikavica"; Dalmatia is the coastal region in Croatia). We have many words derived from it:
To cut = sjeći (dalmatian: sići); sikač (cutter), sikavica (plant silybum marianum, with leaves that really do cut), sikavac (all the other similar plants), sicati (also to cut, but also old word for tattooing in the past, done by making small cuts) etc. etc.
Sibina - well, we have a word "šiba", I cannot remember the english translation, but it's definitely a long, thin and straight branch, the kind our parents would spank us with😂. Definitely a similar object.
Sabaia - if it's true that this drink was made of oats (as I heard it was), we call oats "zob", so bearing in mind the word was recorded by non-illyrians, it could be that the drink was actually called "zobaia", which would make perfect sense.

Urim and Thumim. Albanian Urim = Blessing, and Thumim Geg Dialect or Thumbim, literary = Sting.
But even Genesis, in Albanian Gjenesa, where Gje = things/matter, and Nisa= Start. Basically the beginning of creation.
Albanian is a goldmine kept hidden in plain site. Those Pelasgians must have traveled a lot.
@@GJ-dj4jxNephilim in aramaico significa giganti, ma siete convinti che la vostra lingua può trovare l'etimologia di termini aramaici? Genesi deriva dal greco γίγνομαι gígnomai « io nasco», quindi l'albanese non c'entra, invece la stella albanese viene dal turco " Yildiz", quindi anche in questo caso non c'entra con la bibbia.
@@HarryHaller-jd7hz What idiocy. How come Albanian Yll/Hyll comes from Turkish when we have tons of Illyrian names like Bardyllus, which in modern Albanian is Badhyll and it literally means White Star? Albanian Bardh=White, Yll=Star.
@GJ-dj4jx the Albanian word "bardhë" originates from Balto-Slavic, in fact if you translate "white" into Lithuanian the result is "baltas", so are Lithuanians Illyrians too? The name Bardhyl is an ethnonym, that is, he was the king of a tribe called "Bardiei" and lived in Liburnia, we don't know what the Illyrians called "white" so it's like playing the lottery to assume that it means "white star" , after all, would you call a person with a meaning like that? If in Albania you want to give ancient Illyrian names to newborns you are free to do so, the other states choose the ones they like whether they are of Jewish, Latin or Germanic origin, it will not be the name that will demonstrate the origin.
@@HarryHaller-jd7hzYes, hence the Pan-Illyrian theory. Germanic and Celtic languages have a lot of Albanian words too. IMO it makes sense that the migration happened from Anatolia, to Illyrian Peninsula (Balkan) moving to the rest of Europe. Other later migrations has happened as well
The reason why Illyrian is connected with Venetian is Alfoldy. He was the first to try to theorize how the inhabitants of Illyricum spoke, and given the lack of records, he studied personal names from the 1st century in the Roman province of Dalmatia (southern half of Illyricum). Among other things, he found 2 Venetian names in the north of Liburnia and first concluded that the Liburni were close to the Veneti, and then others immediately applied it to the whole of Illyricum, considering the Liburni as one of the Illyrians. Subsequently, when other scientists made a more detailed study and included toponyms in consideration, the categorization changed. The Liburnians have nothing to do with the Veneti, but they are not Illyrians either. In that film, a Liburnian person speaks "Illyrian", it's a big mistake. Liburnian should be at least one I-E migration older than the others in Illyricum. Centumization is obvious with personal names and toponyms from these studies so it was easy to relate Illyrian to Centum group.
Messapic is the result of the migration of the Proto-Illyrians, not the Illyrians, that migration happened at the end of the Bronze Age and was not the only one of its kind, Iapodes also crossed the Adriatic, the Siculi too (500 years later they would move from Italy to Sicily and give it its current name). The languages and cultures of the Illyrii, Delamate, Panoni were then only emerging at the beginning of the Iron Age, while the Liburnians made their way from the Bronze to the Iron with an older speech - due to their geographical location, they were bypassed by the stratification of the population with new arrivals from the I-E migration 3,300 years ago. In short, Illyrian and Messapic share a source and were probably in contact at the beginning or the 1st part of the Iron Age. Since the middle of the Iron Age, the situation was changing on the Adriatic but also on the Apennines, and the connections between the two coasts weakened.
Bardhyll king have 100% translate bardh-white yll-star whitestar
How can you be 100% sure? Firstly the Greeks write it down as either Bardylis or Bardulis, not Bardhyll. There is an alternative explanation. We can start with the PIE root *wor which means 'to watch over' 'protect'. Balto-Slavic languages had the sound change *o to *a - *war. We add the ending -da (words like pravda, krivda, vražda) and get *warda/*varda which would mean something like protection. To that we add the suffix -ul which was used in making names (example Radul from 'rad') and you get Wardul/Vardul meaning 'protector' 'defender'. That would basically be the same name as Alexander, Alexius or Slavic names like Branko. The Greeks wrote B instead of the /w/ or /v/ sounds they did not have and added their grammatical ending -is so they wrote it down as Bardulis.

Btw mes is a loanword from ancient Greek (mesos), meaning "middle, midpoint". It was attested and transcribed from Greek to Latin.
Messina was founded by Greek colonists of Magna Graecia in the 8th century BC. In the early 5th century BC Anaxilas of Rhegium renamed it Messene (Μεσσήνη) in honour of the Greek city Messene.

Thanks for the video! It seems like things are more or less about where they were when I was in college back around the year 2000 (although I was an Engineering major, so probably not the best position to know the latest and greatest in Indo-European studies).
Regardless, these ancient minority languages which are scarcely attested are a dime a dozen, and Illyrian is one of the more important ones (for example, the languages of the Sea Peoples are even more of a mystery).
I guess that save for a sudden discovery of a cache of Illyrian texts, this is where the state of the art will remain for the foreseeable future...
What do you think about the fact that some professors from Serbia like Jovan Deretić, Radovan Damjanović, Aleksandar Šargić claim that Serbs are actually Illyrians? Are there any connections given the great cultural difference between Serbs and other peoples from the former Yugoslavia?
South Slavs come from Slavic migrators in Eastern Europe and are unrelated to the peoples of antiquity. Maybe there was some mixing but no legitimate claim to being their descendants. Don’t be ashamed, most Europeans don’t have ancient history except for Italy and Greece because of their proximity to major trade routes.

All modern Yugoslavs are descendants of Illyrians, they migrated down to the balkans, yes, but that doesn't even imply a population exchange
they just, you know, lived amongst the native Illyrians and intergraded with them
@@milital6611 How? Explain the process?
@@nebojsastevanovic3822 i will try to be as comprehensive as possible, so
Before the slavs came south (excluding bulgarians) the area was inhabited by the Illyrians
when the slavs came down to Balkans (again, excluding Bulgaria) they settled down in those lands
And therefore, they lived amongst the native Illyrians, which is why i believe they're all descendants of Illyrians, because if they lived together, they must have "mixed" together (i hate saying mixed when talking about ethnicities, it makes me feel bad)
It is also why they have unconventional slavic names, and also speak a language much different from modern Polish, Russian and more (excluding loanwords and ect)
as to why they all speak Slavic/Serbian, i think the government of the Serbian Empire had influence on the inhabitants
(And later the romans and ottomans establishing regional goverments for the ethnicities to cooperate)
i came up with this because it makes sense for me, i hope i put it in a way that makes sense for anyone reading
It's so simple it's pre Albanian pelazgian related language so it's Albanian original
Pelasgians are by ancient Greek writers related with Tyrsenians/Tyrrhenians ... in northern Aegean Khalkhidike peninsula, with Pelasgiotis region of ancient Thessalia and with not far from Thessaly Dodona in Epirus ... also, Pelasgians and Tyrrhenians are mentioned as inhabitants of island Lemnos in northern Aegean ... in Odyssey Pelasgians are mentioned as one group of inhabitants of island Crete ...

Why indians understand albanian? The illyrian nattive language its suposed to have evolved in europe. And its suposed to be a european language,, like greek latin germanic,celtic,the basic european linguistic roots,, the albanian seems to have direct connection to hindustan language,, !!! And in the last 1000 years is mixed with other languages and dialects,tosk,geng,latin,arvanite,slavic,turkish, and arberesh that is an asian dialect, !!!! Its spoken in south italy only,,??? So albanian isnt a solid genuine language but a nomadic dialect changing till today,,, in the ancient times the regions had its own dialects ,, because it was closed societies,, only when another tribe conquered their territory would impose also the language ,.for example after 500 years of ottoman occupation, linguistic changes happened to the albanian language ,,religion,customs,ethnicity,,,

Is Illyrian and Servine the same?
The Albanian language has a strong resemblance to the Messapic language,Illyrian or not,it has ancient roots and its attested early.On the other hand there is absolutely no proof that the irish and scottish people descended from celts,as there is no recorded celtic migration in these lands,the celts were propably primitive tribes which spoke different languages and went extinct.But also the Illyrian ethnonym is wrong,because in these lands there were organised Kindoms such the Ardiaean Kingdom,the Kingdom of the Dardanians,and the Kingdom of the Taulantians,no such thing as" Illyrians" they were called Illyrians by others.The film Illyricum do not illustrate the true culture of these people, and portrays them as uncivillised as the celts or the germanics,and mind you the terms "celts" and "germanics" are not correct as we do not know how these tribesmen called themselves
Are you serious? All of England was Celtic before AngloSaxon invasions and so was most of Europe. Celts even invaded south all the way to Greece which is attested by historians before they were defeated and returned north. Where is Albanian language ever attested?

Yes there is recorded celtic migration to England before the AngloSaxons moved there from todays Denmark(because they were Scandinavian tribes). It's an interesting theory that Albanian is related to Messapian with no conclusive evidence though. If it were, how is it possible Albanian never got an alphabet? The whole of Europe used an alphabet, for gods sake even the barbarian Slavs got educated and given an alphabet
@@FreeState.21ST Acording to your logic even the Romans got no alphabet also,because they adapted a form of the Greek one which in turn propbly derived from the Phoenician one,now the Athenians also got no alphabet?The Messapians used the Greek one,and the whole of Europe uses the Latin,except Greece and some Slavic countries which use the Cyrillic, of course Albanians use the Latin one since the early Albanians were well integrated in the Roman society and the nobles communicated in writen forms with Latin and later on the high middle ages that changed to Attic Greek.On the other hand how can you prove that Britain and Ireland was Celtic,the Celtic theory invented in the 18th century,none of those people called themselves celts before,and even the Roman's called the tribes of Scotland "Picts" and "Calledonians"in the 3rd century, were on earth do you see Celts?Ireland in those times was unexplored territory, since nothing new nothing about it.Plus Slavs were not barbarians because it's a fact they descent from Scythians and Sarmatians,sophisticated peoples which recorded in lands which Slavs appeared...

Albanoi (Arbanoi) were an Illyrian tribe. They were possibly first mentioned by Hecataeus of Miletus (550-476 BCE) under the name 'Abroi'. ClaudiusPtolemy (100-170 CE) is the first author who mentions them under the name 'Albanoi'. Their central settlement was called Albanopolis and was located roughly between the Mat and Shkumbin rivers, in present-day central Albania. The archaeological site of Zgërdhesh near town of Krujë has been identified as the likely location of Albanopolis.
Stephanus of Byzantium who reproduced Hecataeus added an entry for another settlement named 'Arbon' in Illyria whose inhabitants were called 'Arbonioi' or 'Arbonites'. Another Arbon was recorded by Polybius. John of Nikiû wrote in the 7th century CE about a people known as 'Arbanitai' in the Greek translation of the manuscript.
In the Middle Ages, the names 'Albanoi' and Arbanitai/'Albanitai' referred to medieval Albanians as an ethnic group. The equivalent terms in Latin are 'Albanenses'/'Arbanenses', in Vlach: 'Arbineș', in Slavic: 'Arbanasi' and later in Turkish: 'Arnaut'. These names reflect the Albanian ethnic endonym 'Arbër'/'Arbëreshë'/'Arbëneshë', which 'Albanoi' derives itself.
In the archaeological records, the Albanoi are mentioned on a funeral inscription in Stobi (present-day central North Macedonia) and Albanopolis is mentioned on another funeral inscription near Scupi (Skopje). Another ethnonym, 'Arbaios' found in locality of Finiq (Phoenice) is likely linked to them.
Polybius (200-118 BCE) mentions a location named "Arbon" in his description of the Roman-Illyrian Wars. "Arbon" in a series of mistranslations has been named an "island" or a "city" even though Polybius never mentions it as such. The place has not been identified, and it is unlikely that it refers to the northern Adriatic island of Rab (attested for the first time as Arba (Arbëria) by Pliny).
An interdisciplinary reading of the passage indicates that "Arbon" might actually have been in central Albania, roughly in the same location as the later Albanopolis (Ptolemy) and Arbanon (Anna Komnene). Wilhelm Tomaschek (1841-1901) considered Arbon to be the "first attestation of the modern name of Albania".
Ptolemy (100-170 CE) is the first author who mentions the ethnonym of the Albanoi in "Geographia". The Albanoi are mentioned in the third book of "Geographia". They were a people who lived in the region between Mat and Shkumbin rivers and held the settlement Albanopolis. Johann Georg von Hahn first noted that the suffix -polis ("city") was probably added at a later date by other authors as in other editions it is mentioned as "Albanos polis" or "Albanos".
Archelogical site of Zgërdhesh near town of Krujë has been identified as the likely location of Albanopolis. It is not certain if its location corresponds to the region mentioned as Arbanon mentioned by Anna Komnene in the "Alexiad" about events related to the First Norman invasion of the Balkans(1081). An indication of movement from higher altitudes in a much earlier period has been detected in the distribution of Albanian place names ending in -esh, derives from the Latin -ensis (Vulgar Latin -ēsis), between the Shkumbin and the Mat rivers, with a concentration between modern towns of Elbasan and Krujë.
John of Nikiû (7th century), a Coptic bishop mentions in the French translation of a manuscript titled "Chronicle" that barbarians, foreign peoples and Illyrians, ravaged the cities of the Christians and took the inhabitants alive in the Byzantine Empire.
Hermann Zotenberg who translated the "Chronicle" from Geʽez (Ethiopian) to French rendered with the term Illyrians, a term which in the original manuscript corresponded to 'Alwerikon'. 'Alwerikon' in the Romaica (Byzantine) Greek translation of the "Chronicle" corresponded to the term Albani(k/t)on (genitive of Albanitai).
Constantine Sathas (1842-1912) who first recorded the discrepancy between different translations considered the mention of 'Alwerikon' an attestation of the same population as the Illyrian 'Albanoi'.
Michael Attaleiates (1022-1080) mentions the term 'Albanoi' twice and the term 'Arbanitai' once. The term 'Albanoi' is used first to describe the groups which rebelled in southern Italy and Sicily against the Byzantines in 1038-40.
The second use of the term 'Albanoi' is related to groups which supported the revolt of George Maniakes in 1042 and marched with him throughout the Balkans against the Byzantine capital, Constantinople.
The term 'Arvanitai' is used to describe a revolt of Bulgarians (Boulgaroi) and Arbanitai in the Theme (Province) of Dyrrhachium (Durrës) in 1078-79. It is generally accepted that 'Arbanitai' refers to the ethnonym of medieval Albanians. As such, it is considered to be the first attestation of Albanians as an ethnic group in Eastern Roman (Byzantine) historiography. The use of the term 'Albanoi' in 1038-49 and 1042 as an ethnonym related to Albanians have been a subject of debate. In what has been termed the "Vranoussi-Ducellier debate", Alain Ducellier proposed that both uses of the term referred to medieval Albanians. Era Vranoussi counter-suggested that the first use referred to Normans, while the second didn't have an ethnic connotation necessarily and could be a reference to the Normans as "foreigners" (aubain) in Epirus which Maniakes and his army traversed.
This debate has never been resolved.
A newer very possible synthesis about the second use of the term Albanoi by historian Pëllumb Xhufi suggests that the term Albanoi may have referred to Albanians of the specific district of Arbanon, while Arbanitai to Albanians in general regardless of the specific region they inhabited.
From thereon, in the next centuries, the term Albanoi is used extensively as the ethnonym for medieval Albanians in Byzantine literature. Albanoi is the formal term for Albanians in modern Greek and until the 20th century it was used interchangeably with the term Arbanitai, which now in Greek refers exclusively to Arvanites.
These names reflect the Albanian endonym Arbër/n + esh which itself derives from the same root as the name of the Albanoi.
....The linguists Stefan Schumacher and Joachim Matzinger (University of Vienna) assert that the first literary records of Albanian date from the 16th century. The oldest known Albanian printed book, Meshari, or "missal", was written in 1555 by Gjon Buzuku, a Roman Catholic cleric......
If the Albanian language is so old, why are there no written documents in that language in 1500 years. Illyrians have haplogroup I2, which is dominant among the people of the former Yugoslavia (Dinarians), while this haplogroup is negligible among Albanians.
I2a is Ukrainian/sclaveni. It originates from the Danube.
according to albanian dictionary channel the Illyrian and Hellenic language were one and the same. however, it was not one language but rather a group of more than a dozen dialects some non intelligible with each other. For this reason we have the dictionary of Hesychius which you referenced in your presentation. the Helens did not understand many of the iylyrian words that were in their ancient texts, thats why they created the dictionary in alexandria. also albanian language cannot be explained by toponims because o more then 30 invasions throughtout history and names which each culture has left behind. there are many other arguments that the researcher brings out
There ate ancient text or writing documents from illyrians..

@@tony232cool I tend to agree. Many dialects/languages like Illyrian ones all coming from same proto Greek and Albanian. It would explain why so many ancient dieties being in Albanian, like Aphrodite, or Aferdite in Alb. In Alb 'afer' means near and 'dite' means day.

Look, a million leke is not that high of an amount, it goes about less than 10 thousand EUR.
The Albanian connection is dubious to say the least. The small amount of words recorded makes it easy to swing the theory in any way you want. Just by using your own examples I can explain 'sica' with Slavic root word meaning 'to cut' *sěkti. 'Sabaia' can be explained with Slavic word for 'oat' *zobъ, being an oat-beer of sort.
Edit: Sibina as spear can also be explained with South Slavic 'svib' meaning dogwood. Dogwood was widely used in the ancient world for spears and the 'v' in old Slavic was most likely pronounced as /w/ which is why it is often omitted in Greek writings.
Slavic ? Come on man , dont make the whole world foolish as you are
Are you really trying to turn slavs into illyrians? Youre traitors to the culture, maybe you are genetically illyrian, but you have lost all the language and culture. Illyrian myths remain in Albanian culture and language to this day.
slavs didnt exist in balkans at time of illyrians. Try again
@@MilkmanEditsAL The post was about the possibility of analysing Illyrian as a Slavic language... That's basically proof that Slavs existed in the Balkans at that time and that Illyrians were in fact Slavs. Archeology points to no significant change in material culture before and after the 'Slavic migration' as well. There was an influx of 'Prague culture' pottery, and a reversal of the process of Latinization and even Christianization which might point to the root of the misconception. Illyrians were Slavs just as the Slavs that lived outside of the Roman Empire, but were by the 6th century culturally partially romanized. A new wave of Slavic elites came from accross the Danube and pulled the partially romanized Slavs/Illyrian back into Slavdom. The new Slavic elite was most likely from the Prague culture, which would also explain how come that culture was seemingly placed upon the local Illyrian without any break in continuity.
Not sure if you're a troll. But how do you explain so many Greek deities being in Albanian then?
Aphrodite (Venus) in Albanian is Aferdite, where afer= near and dite= day. Near day, or morning star. Instead linguists say it come from greek foam.

Pythia, Oracle at Delphi. Albanian Pytja = The question. All kinds of worthless explanations connecting it to Greek.

Thetis, goddess of the sea. Albanian Deti = Sea.
Ionian Sea. Albanian = Deti Jon meanin Our Sea. Jon = Our in Alb. Same as Romans called the Mediterranean Sea, Mare Nostum (Our Sea)

Albanian nationalists claim that certain words in Homer’s Iliad have Albanian roots as part of a broader narrative to assert the ancient origins of the Albanian language and link it to the Illyrians, who they considered the ancestors of Albanians. These claims often suggest that traces of the Albanian language, appear in ancient Greek texts, thereby emphasizing a long-standing historical presence in the Balkans. However, mainstream linguistic scholarship dismisses these claims as linguistically unfounded, noting that any perceived similarities between Albanian and Greek words are coincidental and lack historical or linguistic context. Additionally, the Iliad was composed centuries before the development of the Albanian language, and no credible evidence suggests a connection between ancient Greek and Albanian in this regard. This type of claim is typically part of nationalistic revisionism, aimed at establishing a deep-rooted historical continuity for modern Albanian identity.😂

I think people far to much concentrate on descending theories. Almost like it would be impossible for a language to be born aside from dialectal and chronological spread.
But language hybridization and creoles are a thing!
Not to mention, that the further back we go, we expect the languages should become more similar.
If now a proto Ilyrian word in the balkans, has similarities to a proto Celtic word in Irland, then these two words dont mean that they are descendents of each other.
Km pretty sure Ilyrian is also considered a IE language, so similarities to other IE languages should be expected, and unless we can reliably reconstruct the proces of one word entering another language, we can not simply imply a heritage.
Lets just further ignore that the eastward expandi celts surely had contact with Ilyrians and it also coud be a loan the other way around. None the less, it remains speculative.

Your wrong
Greek language is older than Christianity by more than 1500 years. Therefore it is totally wrong to say that Greek is a religious language ( i.e. not an Ethnic one) ...it is true though that Christianity managed to spread all over the place using the Greek language as a tool being the most known in the world at that time.
@@georgegiallousis4400 The language (Greek) spoken today in Greece is a technical language, the Greek language has changed twice since 1823, the Greek language spoken today in Greece has nothing in common with the ancient ( Helen) language, it is a religious language.🤷🏻♂️
Greek is not similar to Russian and IS NOT a religious language as it is active and evolving since antiquity i.e. it is older than Christianity therefore cannot be religious..
The first written Greek letters were found on baked mud tablets, in the remains of the Minoan Knossos Palace of Crete island. This language is known as Linear A and it has not been fully decoded till today. The most famous example of Linear A is written in the famous Phaistos Disc. In the 12th century BC, a new language started to develop, called Linear B, where each drawing symbol is a consonant-vowel combination. Linear B dates from the Mycenaean civilization.
The Greek language is well documented as being one of the oldest languages. In fact, it has the most extended history of all Indo-European languages. The earliest inscriptions of Greek words written using the Ancient Greek alphabet date back to 1400 BC, equating to 3,400 years of written records. At the time, more people were speaking Greek than any other language across the Mediterranean. Today , as the Ancient Greek language evolved through ages in various forms , modern Greek is the version of the language that evolved from Ancient Greek through the Medieval Greek .

It seems to me that there is some kind of connection from Illyrian to Albainian, but maybe it's like comparing, say, Oscan to Spanish. A more recent connection to a common ancestor than other languages but not necessarily a direct descendant.
But, I think people hate that it's just not entirely knowable. It's certainly plausible that Albanians are the direct descendants of Illyrians, but probably just not so certain that's it's a wagon to hitch all your nationalist aspirations to, though. However, I think the notion that Albanians are not Paleo-Balkan at all is implausible to the point that's it's swinging a nationalist pendulum too far in the opposite direction.
Finally! A sensible comment.
I see Greek resemblance. The analysis of the Illyrian is so off. Ana = Nene?

IN Gheg dialect is Nana. But we also use Ama for mother.
@@GJ-dj4jx Exactly! Illyrian is called Matera.
Considering the most recent data by Matzinger, there is no doubt Albanian and Illyrian were two completely different languages. Proto-Albanian was alongside Messapic and Armenian part of the half-satemized paleo-Balkan branch. Not Illyrian and not Thracian, but probably unattested populations with a homeland in the central Balkans, from where Armenians migrated to the east and Messapic speakers to the west, before the Bronze Age collapse.

Illyrian language was a Greek dialect without letters
ancient greeks themselves said they spoke a different language from their own
@@darladallddoria143 I agree about the possibility that Illyrian, Albanian and Ancient Greek might have been dialects of the same language. It explains why Greece was mostly Albanian until they whiped it out and introduced a technical Greek version no one spoke and everyone was forced to learn it. But the letters are not coming from Greece, they were used way before.
@@GJ-dj4jx the letters are by the Greeks...
The latin alphabet is the ancient Greek Alphabet from the ancient Greek island Ευβοια, but with two letters Y and Z from the ancient Greek Attic Alphabet...
The official alphabet in Greece is the " ΑΤΤΙΚΟΝ - Αttic"
@@GJ-dj4jx No,,, The Greece was Not albanian because the Greeks are not turk-albanians..
The Greeks have not caucasian turk - albanian dna.
,, you don't know about the Greek Language, so you don't know that the Greek Language is The same Language from the ancient Greek period, before 10000 years..
The Greeks speak the same Language from the ancient Greek period..
The turk-albanians came from the abanian caucasian river along with turks after the Greek Byzantine Empire means after the year 1453 and spoke a turkish type caucasian language without alphabet and letters..
The turk-albanian language today has mainly turk-caucasians words, slavic words, Greek words and latin words..
The Greek Language is Not a version and the last 10000 years has the same Greek words and Alphabet..
The Greeks from the ancient Greek period they spoke and speek only the Greek Language
@@darladallddoria143 You don't even deserve a reply because you're obviously an ignorant troll.
But anyways, what is Greece now was mostly Albanian and many of the so called Greek mythological figures make sense in Albanian not in Greek. So Albanians were probably there way before ;)
Here are just a few obvious examples:
Aphrodite (Venus) in Albanian is Aferdite, where afer= near and dite= day. Near day, or morning star. Instead linguists say it come from greek foam.
Thalia muse if comedy. Albanian Tallja = The Mocking. Linguists say it comes from Greek Thalien, to flourish.
Pythia, Oracle at Delphi. Albanian Pytja = The question. All kinds of worthless explanations connecting it to Greek.
Demetria, godes of harvests. Albanian Dhemitra where dhe= earth and mitra= woumb/uterus.
Thetis, goddess of the sea. Albanian Deti = Sea.
Ionian Sea. Albanian = Deti Jon meanin Our Sea. Jon = Our in Alb. Same as Romans called the Mediterranean Sea, Mare Nostum (Our Sea)
There are so many more just mentioning most obvious ones, that for some strange reason are not mentioned by linguists.
For all tha support illyrians..... Show us one archeological place in Albania that belongs to illyrian
Show us one ancient written documents from illyrians...
And then we can continue speak.. Not only bla bla Bla.. And propaganda from Hotzas.. And now frpm Edi Rama... 😂 😂 Tjat Bouboulina was arvanitis origin.. 😂 😂 Ok... Siptaria.. 😂 😂 😂
only Croats and Serbs are true Illyrians because the Albanians got information about their Illyrian origin only after the wars between the Serbs and them in order to have more rights to the territories
You are from the Caucasus. Genetically and culturally, you are the most similar to them. I don't want to argue with you, but I'm just stating my facts.
@@korda-u7rgenetically we are the same as half of greeks and south serbs. Literally cant tell the two apart. South serbs are assimilated albanians, greeks and albanians are made from the same dough. We have nothing to do with the Caucasus, meanwhile we have surviving documents rhat demonstrate that slavs come from there. There isnt a single mention of albanians or albanoid speaking peoples moving into the balkans. But somehow every other nation is attested (the slavs, the bulgars, the goths, heck even the greeks), this is because the albanian ethnogenesis happened in the balkans from the few surviving tribes in the mountains of the original paleobalkanic peoples. Everything else is just a cope. Doesnt make albanians better doesnt make them worse, but the only logical scientific explanation is this one. You can keep your Belgrade pseudoscience to yourself.
@@korda-u7rthe only truth is that you are true Slavs. You call yourself Slavs and the world calls you Slavs. You got nothing to do with the ancient history of the Illyrian Peninsula. 😅😅😅😅
I was born east istra I'm lllyrian
@@korda-u7r you are cringe
There is no evidence about Illirians language or any proof. How can that be considered as a fact?
no need for any of these question at all ,, DNA shows our yllirian ancestry,, 🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱
So in essence, made up language.
