There is nothing physical to support that “this unique ancient Indo European language” has been in this region for say thousands of years. The best form of evidence is archeological where these claims are confirmed. No one knows what language the Illyrians spoke because they left no written texts and with the mixing of peoples over centuries music changes and instruments adopted from other tribes. For example, the bagpipe is well a known Celtic instrument, but even the Serbs and most in the Balkans have bagpipes because Celts were settled in that region.
Customs are greatly influenced by religion so whatever customs Albanians had was diluted by Christian or Islam teachings over the centuries. The each Serb family has a feast day or Slava. This was imposed on people by the Church to forget paganism because each family worshiped a deity,
Unless you have physical proof all else is unsubstantiated claims.

P.S Check out Pelion in Albania. Or better yet visit it.I have been there and seen it, have you?
(j, 8 February 2013 16:14)

Yes I do know about Pelion. And its mostly associated with Greeks and Alexander the Great. There are official records mentioning Pelion that go back to 400BC but there is no mention of Albania or Albanians.
It is a fact that tribes don’t change their names overnight as the Byzantines wrote about the Serbs in the first century and after 2000 years they are still known as Serbs unlike Illyrians turning to Albanians.

Tommy,
What exactly have Albanian stolen? How can you compare a nation with a unique indo-European language,tied to its land, with gypsies. Most non Balkan linguists point out to an Illyrian/Thracian origin, in any event, very ancient. Our national hero Scanderbeg was one of only a few ,who successfully fought against Osmans. Mother Theresa (another Albanian) gave whole her life to the poor and unfortunates of the world. What does religion have to do with anything. Are you suggesting another crusade? Do you know how the previous one ended up?

Croats and serbs did fight a bloody war, a war that could have been avoided if you ask me. Fighting against fellow christians is a sin and it pains me still to think about the people who lost thir lives and all those still affected by a war between those who supposedly believe in the lord Jesus Christ. We serbs have a huge responsibility for the war in Croatia and I hope that those who died did not die in vain. I pray that it taught us what war really is. I'm glad that most croats and serb are looking to the future becaues thats what needs to be done. If we look backward we will have what we have in Kosovo, utter chaos and a suffering that never ends. Peace!

Rhodesian,
I am always ready to learn new material. However, I am aware of it. I am also aware that Albanian is a unique branch of it. So where did we come from , if we speak a unique language clearly related to the region we leave in, and no record of a migration? The answer is obvious, we have been here.

In a letter to former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the Front suggested the U.S. to “take the Preševo valley away from Serbia” by declaring it an “overseas territory” like the Panama Canal, Skopje-based daily Nova Makedonija writes. Interesting that they send their request to Hillary Clinton, who is out of American politics now, instead of John Kerry, the current secretary of state. It appears that some Albanians think that the Clintons will always fulfill their requests. I don't know what to say about this story, except that the accompanying photo to the story pretty much tells it all.

That was not "gotcha" question, but you missed my point. There is not much left of them but some dwellings ,that you found online. Yet , they were here for thousands of years. Albanians have their unique ancient indo-European language, their own folklore, custums, music, tradition. Much of this cultural inheritance is similar/linked with Illyrians one. You can also look that one up online if you wish.

@ Brandon
For god's sake, Albanian is not the only Indo-European language. Indo-European languages are a family of languages that has hundreds of languages and dialects. For example, Indo-European languages include Albanian, yes, just like Celtic, Germanic (including English, Swedish, German ect.), Balto-Slavic (Baltic and Slavic, among others Serbian). So you should really learn a thing of two first.

So what would be the longtime consequences? A Greater Albania including Kosovo, Presevo, Ulcinj and Tetevo? A Greater Serbia consisting of today's Serbia & Republica Srpska? A greater Croatia including the Hercegovina? An independent Bosniak ministate? An independent Sandzak? A unification between Moldova (minus Transnistria) and Romania? A Greater Hungary including Transsylvania, parts of the Vojvodina & southern Slovakia? Can Austria demand South Tyrol? Kaliningrad back to Germany? And are all of these regions going to be ethnically cleansed to avoid further problems?

From Balkan Insight (Albania plummets in world corruption index):

Albania Urged to Toughen Anti-Corruption Fight

http://www.balkaninsight.com/en/article/osce-urges-fight-against-corruption-in-albania

According to Transparency International’s “Corruption Perception Index,” Albania is one of the most corrupt countries in

Europe. The Berlin-based watchdog organisation saw Albania plunge in its rankings from 95th place out of 176 countries in

2011 to 113th position in 2012

That's why we have the support from all Democratic countries in the world, and you have support from Dictators.

The Turks ruled for 600 years and left bridges and mosques and buildings; the serbs left Churches and other structures but the Albos left nothing.

What the heck is Serbia's strategy should America get involved ? Let me guess Serbia may request or plead with China & Russia to come to its aid (since China & Russia could be Serbia's best friends or staunchest allies) to give American troops even Albanians who take up arms a butt slaying. But just remember if America doesn't want to get involved ( not because they may be indifferent to Albanians but maybe it's cause they don't want to risk unnecessary amount of casualties among their troops) shouldn't China & Russia have the same worries as well? Not that it would bother me and since a form of martial arts known as Kung Fu originated in China can the Chinese army imagine how humiliating it would be if American troops or Albanian fighters were masters at Kung Fu so much so that they can vanquish or fight off some Chinese troops by unleashing Kung Fu on them if the Chinese army challenged Americans or Albanians to fight by using Kung Fu instead of using bullets.

Avni, I beg to differ, but when was the Presevo Valley ever Albanians land? Are you quoting fact, or the Albanian premise that all of the southern Balkans is Albanian land, because they are descendants of the Illyrians? You know what, I've just about had it with this Illyrian bullshit. Serbs and Albanians, and others, have lived on the territory of Southern Serbia, Kosovo, Northern Macedonia, etc., for centuries. I do not understand why Albanians believe that all of this land is theirs? By what right, who gave it to you? And now, some separatist Albanians want America to come and make Presevo American land. I mean, Jesus, what is wrong with you people? If you concentrated 1/2 your time on improving your living standards, as opposed to usurping more land for yourselves, you would certainly be a lot better off. Just a thought, if Albanians did acquire all this land they believe is their birth right, what the hell would they do with all this land? They have land now that is exclusively theirs, yet it is poverty stricken and crime infested. Do they (Albanians) want more of that? Well, I have a feeling this Presevo/Panama Canal issue will not reach Obama, but it will give the US State Dept. a good chuckle.

We don't have vendetta against Serbs - but the Italians taught you how important that can be, so please understand if we get a little bit that way. Also, our international trade is an essential part of your economic recovery - people importing would be easier if it was legalised, but on the other hand please don't legalise street-level-pharmaceuticals because it would put us out of business.

According to Transparency International’s “Corruption Perception Index,” Albania is one of the most corrupt countries in

Europe. The Berlin-based watchdog organisation saw Albania plunge in its rankings from 95th place out of 176 countries in

2011 to 113th position in 2012

In a letter to former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the Front suggested the U.S. to “take the Preševo valley away from Serbia” by declaring it an “overseas territory” like the Panama Canal, Skopje-based daily Nova Makedonija writes. Interesting that they send their request to Hillary Clinton, who is out of American politics now, instead of John Kerry, the current secretary of state. It appears that some Albanians think that the Clintons will always fulfill their requests. I don't know what to say about this story, except that the accompanying photo to the story pretty much tells it all.

For god's sake, Albanian is not the only Indo-European language. Indo-European languages are a family of languages that has hundreds of languages and dialects. For example, Indo-European languages include Albanian, yes, just like Celtic, Germanic (including English, Swedish, German ect.), Balto-Slavic (Baltic and Slavic, among others Serbian). So you should really learn a thing of two first.

We Albanians are fighters, we build an army in the 90's within days to fight you, we gave 10, 000 lives in order to take back Kosova. That's why we have the support from all Democratic countries in the world, and you have support from Dictators.

That was not "gotcha" question, but you missed my point. There is not much left of them but some dwellings ,that you found online. Yet , they were here for thousands of years. Albanians have their unique ancient indo-European language, their own folklore, custums, music, tradition. Much of this cultural inheritance is similar/linked with Illyrians one. You can also look that one up online if you wish.

Croats and serbs did fight a bloody war, a war that could have been avoided if you ask me. Fighting against fellow christians is a sin and it pains me still to think about the people who lost thir lives and all those still affected by a war between those who supposedly believe in the lord Jesus Christ. We serbs have a huge responsibility for the war in Croatia and I hope that those who died did not die in vain. I pray that it taught us what war really is. I'm glad that most croats and serb are looking to the future becaues thats what needs to be done. If we look backward we will have what we have in Kosovo, utter chaos and a suffering that never ends. Peace!

It is a fact that tribes don’t change their names overnight as the Byzantines wrote about the Serbs in the first century and after 2000 years they are still known as Serbs unlike Illyrians turning to Albanians.

What the heck is Serbia's strategy should America get involved ? Let me guess Serbia may request or plead with China & Russia to come to its aid (since China & Russia could be Serbia's best friends or staunchest allies) to give American troops even Albanians who take up arms a butt slaying. But just remember if America doesn't want to get involved ( not because they may be indifferent to Albanians but maybe it's cause they don't want to risk unnecessary amount of casualties among their troops) shouldn't China & Russia have the same worries as well? Not that it would bother me and since a form of martial arts known as Kung Fu originated in China can the Chinese army imagine how humiliating it would be if American troops or Albanian fighters were masters at Kung Fu so much so that they can vanquish or fight off some Chinese troops by unleashing Kung Fu on them if the Chinese army challenged Americans or Albanians to fight by using Kung Fu instead of using bullets.

Tommy,
What exactly have Albanian stolen? How can you compare a nation with a unique indo-European language,tied to its land, with gypsies. Most non Balkan linguists point out to an Illyrian/Thracian origin, in any event, very ancient. Our national hero Scanderbeg was one of only a few ,who successfully fought against Osmans. Mother Theresa (another Albanian) gave whole her life to the poor and unfortunates of the world. What does religion have to do with anything. Are you suggesting another crusade? Do you know how the previous one ended up?

(Brandon, 8 February 2013 14:08)

There is nothing physical to support that “this unique ancient Indo European language” has been in this region for say thousands of years. The best form of evidence is archeological where these claims are confirmed. No one knows what language the Illyrians spoke because they left no written texts and with the mixing of peoples over centuries music changes and instruments adopted from other tribes. For example, the bagpipe is well a known Celtic instrument, but even the Serbs and most in the Balkans have bagpipes because Celts were settled in that region.
Customs are greatly influenced by religion so whatever customs Albanians had was diluted by Christian or Islam teachings over the centuries. The each Serb family has a feast day or Slava. This was imposed on people by the Church to forget paganism because each family worshiped a deity,
Unless you have physical proof all else is unsubstantiated claims.

Dear Mother America

You 'appropriated' Kosovo for us, please 'obtain' Presevo too.

We'll come back for bits of Greece, Montenegro, Macedonia (and anything else we have forgotten to list) later.

We don't want a mono-ethnic Greater Albania - that is all lies. However, we would appreciate it if you would drive out foreigners for us if they fail to love us totally.

This all our land since millions of years ago when we were Dinosaurs - just like your land was marked out for European Settlers since before the bible was written.

I know we are supposed to be islamic, but don't take that too seriously. We are not Arabs and God is on our side too. I don't quite know what God the Serbs worship, but it can't be the same one as us.

We don't have vendetta against Serbs - but the Italians taught you how important that can be, so please understand if we get a little bit that way. Also, our international trade is an essential part of your economic recovery - people importing would be easier if it was legalised, but on the other hand please don't legalise street-level-pharmaceuticals because it would put us out of business.

With love from your child and your invention,

Avni, I beg to differ, but when was the Presevo Valley ever Albanians land? Are you quoting fact, or the Albanian premise that all of the southern Balkans is Albanian land, because they are descendants of the Illyrians? You know what, I've just about had it with this Illyrian bullshit. Serbs and Albanians, and others, have lived on the territory of Southern Serbia, Kosovo, Northern Macedonia, etc., for centuries. I do not understand why Albanians believe that all of this land is theirs? By what right, who gave it to you? And now, some separatist Albanians want America to come and make Presevo American land. I mean, Jesus, what is wrong with you people? If you concentrated 1/2 your time on improving your living standards, as opposed to usurping more land for yourselves, you would certainly be a lot better off. Just a thought, if Albanians did acquire all this land they believe is their birth right, what the hell would they do with all this land? They have land now that is exclusively theirs, yet it is poverty stricken and crime infested. Do they (Albanians) want more of that? Well, I have a feeling this Presevo/Panama Canal issue will not reach Obama, but it will give the US State Dept. a good chuckle.

Much easier for these albanians to complain about someone else rather than get their own house in order.

From Balkan Insight (Albania plummets in world corruption index):

Albania Urged to Toughen Anti-Corruption Fight

http://www.balkaninsight.com/en/article/osce-urges-fight-against-corruption-in-albania

According to Transparency International’s “Corruption Perception Index,” Albania is one of the most corrupt countries in

Europe. The Berlin-based watchdog organisation saw Albania plunge in its rankings from 95th place out of 176 countries in

2011 to 113th position in 2012

In a letter to former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the Front suggested the U.S. to “take the Preševo valley away from Serbia” by declaring it an “overseas territory” like the Panama Canal, Skopje-based daily Nova Makedonija writes. Interesting that they send their request to Hillary Clinton, who is out of American politics now, instead of John Kerry, the current secretary of state. It appears that some Albanians think that the Clintons will always fulfill their requests. I don't know what to say about this story, except that the accompanying photo to the story pretty much tells it all.

There is nothing physical to support that “this unique ancient Indo European language” has been in this region for say thousands of years. The best form of evidence is archeological where these claims are confirmed. No one knows what language the Illyrians spoke because they left no written texts and with the mixing of peoples over centuries music changes and instruments adopted from other tribes. For example, the bagpipe is well a known Celtic instrument, but even the Serbs and most in the Balkans have bagpipes because Celts were settled in that region.
Customs are greatly influenced by religion so whatever customs Albanians had was diluted by Christian or Islam teachings over the centuries. The each Serb family has a feast day or Slava. This was imposed on people by the Church to forget paganism because each family worshiped a deity,
Unless you have physical proof all else is unsubstantiated claims.

Croats and serbs did fight a bloody war, a war that could have been avoided if you ask me. Fighting against fellow christians is a sin and it pains me still to think about the people who lost thir lives and all those still affected by a war between those who supposedly believe in the lord Jesus Christ. We serbs have a huge responsibility for the war in Croatia and I hope that those who died did not die in vain. I pray that it taught us what war really is. I'm glad that most croats and serb are looking to the future becaues thats what needs to be done. If we look backward we will have what we have in Kosovo, utter chaos and a suffering that never ends. Peace!

P.S Check out Pelion in Albania. Or better yet visit it.I have been there and seen it, have you?
(j, 8 February 2013 16:14)

Yes I do know about Pelion. And its mostly associated with Greeks and Alexander the Great. There are official records mentioning Pelion that go back to 400BC but there is no mention of Albania or Albanians.
It is a fact that tribes don’t change their names overnight as the Byzantines wrote about the Serbs in the first century and after 2000 years they are still known as Serbs unlike Illyrians turning to Albanians.
