Nermin Vlora Falaschi “Etruscan, a Living Language “
ALBANIA, THE FOUNDLING STATE OF EUROPE
BY WADHAM PEACOCK
Ferdinand Schevill, The Balkans: From the Earliest Times to the Present Day (Ayer Company Publishers 1971)
Even though all the people in the balkan pennisula have arrived sometime in the past, only two people are autochthonous and non-barbaric: The Greeks and Albanians, only to languages are autchthonous and great: Greek and Albanian, the first one arriving from the dark depths of the Aegean and written on papyrus and paper; the second one has come through riding the pelasgic nights, carved only in stone, blood and spirits...............
Noel Malcolm , Kosovo: A Short History (London: Macmillan, 1998 ) p.31
It is clear that Albanian is indeed the only surviving representative (apart from Greek) of an ancient Balkan language: it belongs to the Indo-European family of languages, but exists in a sub-section of its own, with no immediate relatives. If either Illyrian or Thracian could be identified as its parent, this would at least set some fairly clear geographical limits to the early home of the Albanians
Robert D. Kaplan Balkan Ghosts: A Journey Through History (Random House Inc. New York 1996) p.43
Albanians descend from ancient Illyrian tribes that by some accounts came to the Balkan Peninsula even before the Greeks did, and more than a thousand years before the Slavs. The Albanian language, Shqip, also derives from that of the Illyrian tribes and bears no similarity to any other known tongue.
A. Rambraud, L'Empire Grec au X-eme Siecle. p.262
The Albanian highlanders continued to serve in the Byzantine Army, but not in the same scale as in the Roman Army. When their food supplies were running low, the highlanders came in the lowlands and pillaged other villages.
The Albanian language is the oldest Indo-European idiom
