"When Benjamin W. Fortson al write "Archaeological and anthropological evidence clearly shows that Albanian is the modern-day descendant of Illyrian… " then come back and talk to me. As it stands it an assertion aka opinion nothing more NOT FACT. "
I'm sorry, but who the f are you that I have to "come back and talk to". You are a filthy propagandist for Greater Serbia built on the bloodshed of its neighbors, and one who has no qualms about denying horrendous massacres done in its name. You are the last person I would count as objective on this matter.
You asked for the name of any scholar that thinks that Albanians are indigenous to the Balkans, and I brought you some 30 odd names of historians and linguists that for over the past 100 years have studied the origins of Albanians, and they all conclude that Albanians are indigenous, and they have been here before Serbs. Most of them draw a direct line between Illyrians and Albanians, some are more sceptic and consider Illyro-Thracian or Dacian lineage. But no respectable scholar maintain that Albanians are not indigenous. Maybe you can ask your neighbor about Eric Hamp of the University of Chicago, who is "widely respected as a leading authority on Indo-European linguistics, with particular interests in Celtic languages and Albanian", that after analyzing competing theories, concluded that "Of course, in any event we could prove the Albanians did, and never that they did not, precede the Slavs."
