Albaner sind wie alle anderen Völker aufm Balkan eh ein Misch-Masch. Die frühen Albaner bzw. deren Kultur war entweder Dakisch, Thrakisch oder eben Illyrisch. Jede dieser Kulturen ist paleo-balkanisch. Albaner sind nicht vom Himmel gefallen und Albanische und Illyrische (Die, die man halt kennt) Wörter stimmen sehr oft in deren Bedeutung überein. Ist also nicht so weit hergeholt...
The
origin of the Albanians has been for some time a matter of dispute among historians. Contemporary historians conclude that the Albanians are descendants of populations of the
prehistoric Balkans, such as the
Illyrians,
Dacians or
Thracians.[SUP]
[1][/SUP] Little is known about these people, and they blended into one another in
Thraco-Illyrian and
Daco-Thracian contact zones even in antiquity.
The Albanians first appear in the historical record in
Byzantine sources of the 11th century. At this point, they were already fully Christianized. Very little evidence of pre-Christian Albanian culture survives, although Albanian mythology and folklore are of
Paleo-Balkanic origin and almost all of their elements are pagan,[SUP]
[2][/SUP] in particular showing Greek influence.[SUP]

The
Albanian language forms a separate branch of Indo-European, first attested in the 15th century, and is considered to have evolved from one of the
Paleo-Balkans languages of antiquity.
Studies in genetic anthropology show that the Albanians share similar ancestry to many other
Europeans, and especially other peoples of the
Balkans.[SUP]

[7][/SUP] The Albanians are also one of Europe's populations that has most common ancestors within their own ethnic group even though they share ancestors with other ethnic groups.[SUP]

Ist mir grundsätzlich egal die ganze Scheisse aber sehe keinen Sinn dahinter immer alles zu leugnen nur weil man es nicht haben mag,
dass die Vorfahren der Albaner (Nicht mal alle Vorfahren, wegen Mischmasch eben) halt vor den eigenen da waren.
Wow, so schlimm...
