The ancient roots of the Albanian language
I'm excited to take you on an intriguing exploration of linguistic history. In this video, I'll delve into the evolution of Indo-European languages and shed light on the ancient and archaic branch of the Albanian language, showcasing its distinctive characteristics and profound connections within the Indo-European language family.

As an Englishman i have the upmost respect for the Albanian people, the true first Europeans or even civilisation with an ancient language. Not to mention that they are the descendants of Illyrians. In my view all Albanians should be treated like the Kings and Queens that they are.
Mos e tepro moj vlla😂
they are not illyrians learn history for once
@@ackesekacsiptara5572No they are not Illyrians, but their descendants…at least a significant portion of them for a simple reason - Proper Illyrians (as Romans called them). lived in what is now Albania (with their capital being Shkodra), and closely related to Dardanians (modern Kosovo)…. Albanian language os made up of Proto-Albanian words (directly related to Proto-Indo-European) and some Pre-Indo-European words, while the vast majority of. Albanian vocabulary is made up of ancient Latin (at least some 60%) and ancient doric Greek. That in itself tells you that Albanians were there in the Balkans because where else could their language been so drastically latinaized and greecesized if not in the Balkans… and remeber, Illyrians were still around in the time of Romans and well after the fall of Roman empire….The only language the Illyrians of that time could speak could have been only the Latin…What the Illyrian soike before the Roman time is hard to say, but logically it could have been a dialect of Proto-Indio- European…or a combination of Pre and Proto-Indo-European….
@@ackesekacsiptara5572 DNA says that they are,related to the Greeks and south Italians so logic should tell you that they are.Albanian language is unique which means they have always been there maybe longer than some others,but don’t worry money has been spent to look for archaeological sites and DNA studies will be done and there won’t be need to listen to foreign sources that are biased and continue with rhetoric.

Proud to be Albanian.
Albania is an autochthonous people that has been fighting for its freedom and independence for centuries against enemies and oppressors of all kinds: the Albanians: Through all the struggles and all the historical upheavals, this people has retained its originality; Neither the migration of peoples nor the battles with Serbs, Turks and other conquerors and oppressors were able to prevent the Albanians from maintaining their uniqueness pure and unadulterated in race and language, in customs and manners. Historian - Hanslörg Frommer Today only the Albanians, with their independent language, see themselves as descendants of the Illyrians. Historian -Theodor Mommsen was a German historian and is considered one of the most important antiquarians of the 19th century. The only Nobel Prize winner for literature. The brave ones from Eperius are the Albanians from antiquity, loyal, courageous traditional people whose flag has always been their eagle. Karl Kaser - historian Sees today's Albanians as the descendants of the remaining non-Omanized Illyrian population. To support his view, he cites results from Albanian archeology and linguistics Johann Georg von Hahn Josef ritter von xylander historian These two represent the thesis of the autochthonous nature of today's Albanians, which is linked to the Pelasgian question. The Albanians have a language completely different from that of the Latins, Greeks and Slavs, so they cannot communicate in any way with other peoples". Historian - Jakob Philipp Fallmerayer There is a people on the Illyrian Peninsula whose language, in its structure and core, bears not the slightest resemblance to either Greek, Turkish or the Slavic dialects spoken today in most of the South Danube countries.

Wow, it's amazing how diverse and rich the Albanian language is! It has such a fascinating history and beautiful expressions. 🌟🇦🇱 A lot of experts lately are saying that the language is 7,000 years old , making it the oldest language in Europe! I believe that. Good job, keep it going 👍🏼
The Heggarty paper cited in this video is considered to be wrong by most linguists. This video is ethnonationalist propaganda based on fringe science. Also, it doesn't make any sense to say a language is "the oldest" or "thousands of years old", because every language in the world is basically equally old. Every language is the result of transmission from one generation to the next as "the same language", but within a few generations or a few centuries languages change into new languages depending on many factors. Whether it's 7000 years or 5000 or 4000 or whatever, that number doesn't represent how old Albanian is. It represents when an ancestor language of Albanian split from a common ancestor. Latin was spoken over 2000 years ago, but that doesn't make Spanish 2000 years old. And whenever the precursors to Albanian split from the rest of IE, that doesn't show when Albanian split from all the intervening languages, like stages of Illyrian or whatever. Identifying some ancestor of Albanian from 7000 years ago doesn't make it "older" than any other language in Europe or anywhere else in the world, because all the other IE languages following that split would also trace back to that same split 7000 years ago. In other words, German, English, Russian are also 7000 years old in the same sense. But please forget this random nonsense number "7000", because that is simply the claim of one recent scientific publication that is not accepted by other linguists. It is very likely to be wrong. To understand this better, let's say hypothetically that human language started 100,000 years ago and all existing languages trace back to one or more languages from that time. We really do NOT know when it started, so this is just hypothetical. That means that Albanian is 100,000 years old according to your thinking. But it also means that every other language in the world is 100,000 years old. Yes, Albanian is a great and unique language and culture, just like every other language and culture in the world, but you don't need pseudoscientific ethnonationalist propaganda to prove that. Yes, Albanian, Hellenic, Armenian and Tocharian are special because they are on branches of IE that separated before the major expansion of IE in the Corded Ware era. Any scientist will agree with that basic fact. You don't need idiotic pseudoscientific claims about "oldest" blah blah blah to be proud of your language and culture for any reason you choose to.
@@MikeInliters My brother you sound kinda jealous to me and it’s okay I understand. Everyone been jealous with our history, national heroes and divine language.😊 I appreciate your perspective, but I believe it's important to explore and appreciate the historical roots of languages, including Albanian.

Thank you for the video fully. Also, thanks for the end! ❤
I have been rooting for the Fertile Crescent mainly because of archeology, DNA and folklore. For example we know based on genetics and linguistic studies Albanian is an early language, based on archeology we also know people have lived in that region for millennia so that leaves the folklore to fill in the gaps. Well according to the ancient epic songs carried over from generation to generation as oral history especially amongst the highlanders we know Albanians were told by their ancestors that they came to those lands via the Black Sea before Black Sea existed. Based on geology we know that Black Sea was created about 8000 years ago and that's just too early for Yamnaya.
Going in to this project in notised how much politicalized this topic really is. Right of the bat the internet is filled with Proto-Indo-European language and Yamnaya theory, which by the way considers the Albanian language as non-existent and claiming that the Albanian language settled in the Balkans in the 12th century AD. It's this particular camp that pushes their political agenda to undermin and demonize the Albanian heritage.
Wich song ore folk says that?
Speaking of folklore. I was watching a documentary about Dibra region and the guide who was very knowledgeable about the region's history was saying-'sometimes history is much better preserved through folklore as it goes from one generation to another, than the writings, which can be lost due to many reasons' or even manipulated as we've seen sometimes. And, Albanians are known to sing songs, either in their northern ballads or southern polyphony about every event that they've had, which is still being practiced to this day.
Interesting to know that when Alexander The Great went to Asia, the people there told him that he just came back where his ancestors were already….
@sokoli3253 It is actually quite interesting why Alexander chose to conquer Asia and not Europe. Some historians say that the land he conquered once belonged to ancient Albanians. If so then it's no surprising why.
I'M PROUD OF SPEAKING THE OLDEST LANGUAGE IN THE WORLD! PROUD TO BE ALBANIAN!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Also, in the Lin village of Pogradec, it has been found a Palafite, which is at least 2000 years older than what was the oldest known Palafite in the world, located in Switzerland 🇨🇭. The research team who made the study was Swiss crew from a well-known university. This Palafite in Albania dates back 6000 years before Christ.

Connection between Albanians and Pelasgians is funny fairy tale. I find this quote from Helen Abadzi work "Vlachs and their misunderstanding history" very accurate: "However, the pre-Greek Pelasgians were assimilated before the classic era and spoke an unknown non-Indoeuropean language whose sounds survive in the many place names that are meaningless in ancient Greek (Olympos, Corynthos, Larissa, etc). People assimilated about 2500 years ago have become everyone's ancestors by the 20th century" Not only Albanians but also Greeks, Vlachs and even some mad Slavic researchers (!) think that Pelasgians were their ancestors.

I am greek.Albanians are old country such as the greeks.They were illyrians and they were ancient from 350-400 B.C.Greeks with Albanians,Skopjans and Bulgarians were one state(Macedonia).But Macedonia crushed on 4 states(Albania,Greece,Skopje,Bulgaria).

@@ozymandiasultor9480 If real macedonians live on this place,they must learn the ancient Macedonian language(ancient greek language because macedonians were speaking the ancient greek language) and start believe on ancient Olympian gods.If they do this,they can tell they are real Macedonians.
@@ozymandiasultor9480 All the countries are telling Aexander was Greek..Ancient macedonian language is dead?jf you don't speak ancient macedonian language,how you tell you are macedonian?Macedonian language was ancient greek language and macedonians were believing on ancient Olympian gods.I haven't see your people speak ancient greek language or believe on ancient olympian gods.All the world are telling macedonians were greeks.

“Greek” isn’t an ethnicity. People living in Greece are referred as “Greeks” . Greece is made of Albanians, slavs ,Turks. Your on of the three Google it 😊
So, to recap the conclusion: Albanian language (just like any other in the Balkans) emerged in the Balkans, rather than being one and the same predecessor Albanian language (Proto-Albanian) spoken thousands of years ago.

"So while linguists may debate about the ties between Albanian and older languages of the Balkans, and while most Albanians may take the genealogical connection to Illyrian as incontrovertible, the fact remains that there is simply insufficient evidence to connect Illyrian, Thracian, or Dacian with any language, including Albanian" Curtis, Matthew Cowan (30 November 2011). Slavic-Albanian Language Contact, Convergence, and Coexistence. p. 18.
genetically the EEF/Anatolian farmer folk are not the same as the peoples of the open steppe most associated with Indo-European, such as Yamnaya, Cimmerian, Scythian etc. The main haplogoup of these peoples seems to be R1b, of a R type haplogroup Y chromosome, where as the majority of EEF is G2a, such as we found in Otzi the Iceman. The early farmer folk I think likely spoke the pre-Indo-European language such as the Pelasgian, Etruscan and Rhaetian peoples, the later two likely being remnants of the early Po River culture of the Terramare etc. One thing we find in places is that the EEF folk, when the Steppe migrations brought these peoples together, the farmers moved up into the mountain areas away from the herdsman steppe peoples, so it well could be the Pelasgian are a remnant group of such peoples having moved up into the mountains of what is today Albania, is interesting to think on.
"It is virtually impossible to see through the various strata in the Albanian language to discover any particular ancient ethnic origin." "As an ethnic group, the Albanians first emerged from the mists of history in the early years of the second millennium A.D." Robert Elsie, Keeping an Eye on the Albanians: Selected Writings in the Field of Albanian Studies, 2015, p. 11-40.

Albania (Shqipheria)? One of two last countries still naming herself Scythia for over 5000 years. If somoeone wonders, the another one is Alba (Scotia). Respect for maintaining your traditions. BTW. In Poland we name Germans with name Scythians (Szkopy).
Thank you for the interesting video! I have a house in Pogradec.

SOURCE: GREEK ENCYCLOPEADIA VOL.19 P.873 :"" The grandfathers of today's Albanians therefore, that is, the Pelasgians, lived since prehistoric times in most parts of the world then known " TROJE ( Troy) = LAND BANK ---- PLAKA ( OLD Athina wiki. Georgios BABINIOTIS :"" PLAKA from Albanian language PLAK Athena = OLD Athina "") --- EPER / EPIRus = UPPER ( Joseph SCALIGER 1540 - 1609 : " The epirotic language of the past is the Albanian language of today"" ) --- E MATHIA / E MADHJA today.

From what I have been reading too; the Albanian language is closest with the Messapic language which are both related to the Illyrian language, and from this video it seems Proto-Illyrian would have developed before Proto-Greek, and Proto-Thracian which makes sense since the Albanian language splits off 500 years before Greek did from Indo-European.
The Etruscans, the Ligurians, the Liburnians, the Mesapets, the Latins, the Umbrians, the Volces, the Oscans,the Calabrians, all of these are Illyrian tribes and spoke the Albanian language, which gave birth to the Latin alphabet, the Republic of Rome, the Roman Senate, and the Roman Empire, when they occupied the Illyrian lands in Dardania, they realized that they were speaking the same language, and Dardania got its name old Dardanian Kingdom. the mandate of the Roman Senate was that all Roman emperors should be from Alba Longa, and so it was until Justinian Dardanus in the 5th century. We have this Amanet-Testament even today, wherever we are Albanians, we go and marry an Albanian girl in our homeland, in Kosovo or in ALBANIA. This is why Roman Emperor Hadrian was born in Spain, but when it was time to marry, he returned to Alba Longa and married Viba Sabina. and please don't forget that the Latin tribe was born from the son of Odysseus that he had the name Latin, which came after the Trojan War.

Albanian language mother of the all leangugage
Just a short but important note: What we , ethnic Albanians mean by 'Albanians' is not just the citizens of modern Albania but also Albanians of Kosovo... As a matter of fact, as my mother is a Kosovo Albanian, and I grew up with Kosovo Alvanian culture, I witnessed that due to circumstances (discrimination and segregation of Kosovo Albanians by those Albanian non-friendly serbs), I noticed that Kosovo Albanians preserved much of the Albanian culture and identity with even more zeal Dignity and Pride then Albanians from Albania... This is why in my head when I hear the word Albanian I do not primarily think of a citizen of modern Albania but of that Noble Dignified and Proud Kosovan Albanians that defied discrimination and downgrading for many many decades.....
I am delighted that they connected the Albanian language with the language of the ancient Pelasgians. But it is not clear to me why most geographical terms in Albania (rivers, hills, mountains, villages, cities) have Slavic names. The situation in Kosovo is even worse, there are no Albanian names for geographical terms at all. All names are Slavic. The question is, where did those descendants of the ancient Pelasgians hide until the 12th century?
Isto tako po Dalmaciji u Hrvatskoj sela i gradovi imaju dosta albanskih imena to su takozvana stara imena po obajsnenju domaćeg stanovništa a prevode se na albanski sto domaće stanovništvo ni nezna hahah
Because of the Slavic invasion, that changed the names. Just like the name Kosovo.
@@N.a.t.t Before the slavic invasion in 6th century placenames in kosovo were of thracian origin.
@@pranvera5394not many are changed but all pensilula was invited by Bulgaria too, they changed some of it. But hey you forgot that Albanian language is first so even Bulgarian names are in origin Albanian😂
You have been born too late my friend! Toponimes and foreign words exist in every language ofc we had alot to carry in our backs alot wars and empires went throught they never changed a thing about our blood, language amd traditions!
super video...bravo
Love ❤
What remains unclear in this lovely video is the connection between the Ev13 haplogroup (which os the most dominant haplogroup among Albanians), on one hand, and the Indo-Europeans , on the other. We can see in the video that the Ev13 migration is not the same as the Info-European migration to the Balkans. So which one got to the Balkans first, Ev13 or the Indo European.. Also, what happened to the oroginal language of the Ev13 migrants to the Balkans?
A legitimate question for once. While the Max Planck study points out that the Albanian language originally began south of the Caucasus sometime 8,100 years ago, the study does not rule out that the language may have migrated there at an earlier stage. If so, the movement of the genetic makeup of E-V13 shown at 08:05 could either mean that the Albanian language was spoken even earlier than the study suggests, or that the language took shape south of the Caucasus around 8,000 years ago. As for the "original language" of E-V13, it is very challenging to assigning the first language to the haplogroup. Either way, quite a remarkable discovery to say the least.
@@ChildrenOfTheEagle Thanx for the feed guys. You are doing a great job with these series. I am saying this as a marketer. The way an info is presented makes all the difference. Finally we have a nice professional presentation on Albanian culture Keep up the good work and get us some more presentations of this kind on other aspects of Albanian culture , especially the Kosovo Albanians who in my opinion preserved some of the original authentic ethnic Albanian traditions much more than the Albanians from Albania. It is ironic that the very word Albanian among non-Albanians immediately implies just the country of Albania and totally excludes Kosovo (Dardania), the heartland and the core of authentic Albanian traditions.
@Besajone1 Thank you so much for your appreciation. The passion i have for our peoples history, and the gratitude I get for the video's, have motivated me to make more and will continue to make them as long I'm able to, be that from all historical territories where Albanians have lived. As for Kosova.. the trilogy I'm currently working on will cover Adem and Hamza Jasharis battles from 1991-1998. A project that is personal and close at hart!
@@ChildrenOfTheEagle I am an Apbanian born and growing up among south slavs…Most were nice and respected Albanians but those stereotypes and discriminatory slur that I had to come across among some south slavs every now and then were really ugly and demotivating….but given that these anti-albanian discriminatory slur were direted on an Albanian, they only made me stronger throughout my childhood….I have a strong bind to Dardania. (my Mothers homeland) because I can fully understand the decades long discrimination… at least people of Dardania were a majority and they could lean on each other….On the other hand, we, Albanians that grew up among south slavs had this heavy burden of putting up with ugliest possible anyi-albanian slur every now and then….Most ironically, Albanians that grew up and still live in south slavic countries are absolutely forgotten and ignored by both Kosovo and Albania,s government and people…bcs. Albanians from south slavic countries are not as rich as those from Germany, Switzerland, USA. and other western countries… As politically incorrect that may sound, this is a bare truth… bit this too did not nor will kill our motivation to continue to guard and keep our identity and dignity.

This is a great documentary but is confusing why the Albanians give Slavic and Greek names to their cities like Pogradec and Durres etc also I checked the links that the creator has posted. The first regards a new language database which narrows the search for the first speakers of Indo-European it concludes that 161 Indo-European languages including 52 no longer spoken, such as ancient Greek AND NOT ONLY ALBANIAN have a common Proto-Indo-European language root that is 8000 years old. The second link talks about a prehistoric settlement (about 6000 BC) that was found in pogradec (Albania) a city with a slavic name which is 100 to 200 older than a settlement founded in dispilio (Greece) as we are talking about prehistoric times I do not know what conclusion we can draw about the albanian language. A more accurate tittle for the video will be The ancient roots of 161 languages including Albanian.
Hello my friend unfortunately you are a bit wrong when it comes to the name of the pogradec city. Was named pogradec between the 8th-14th century when the city was captured by Bulgarian and Serbian empire. At far as the other city ( durres) they say was founded by Greeks in the 7 century bc. But historically Greece didn’t exited back that. Was city states, kingdoms like in most Europe. Unfortunately people have a misconception that the Greeks was this united great force that is falls. And you have many city’s in Greece today that have Albanian names but you didn’t mention it that.
@@albanianeagle3111 Ok lets follow your logic, Albania did not exist before the 20th century why then are you calling the Illyrians albanians? Which Greek cities have albanians names? Why is wrong a Greek city to have an albanian name if the Arvatites gave it such a name? Istanbul is a Greek name theTurks do not complain about it. The Greek tribes like the Epirotan, Macedonians, Spartans, Athenians, Arvanites, Vlachs etc can give whatever name they like to the Greek cities. Please focus to the point why the Albanians did not have original Albanian names for their cities? You are right that in ancient times people did not have the concept of the modern nation, religion is what defined people. Hence an albanian, greek, slav etc that became muslim was a "turk", an albanian, greek, slav etc that remained christian was a byzantine/roman/greek etc.
Nje video me mjaft kulture, JU lumte.
With all due respect, did you read the paper? The branch proto-Albanian would ultimately split out of branched off from PIE the same period Greek and Armenian did, and almost a millennia after Anatolian. Proto-Albanian itself would not form until the 6th century AD according to contemporary linguists such as Matzinger, Vladimir Orel and Michiel De Vaan, this coincides with the Albanian ethnogenesis which genetics reinforce occurred in the 6th century AD. A paper published in 2013 titled ”The Geography of Recent Genetic Ancestry across Europe” indicated this through IBD-analysis and another paper published just this year titled ”Ancient DNA reveals the origins of the Albanians” through uniparental diversification with all major Albanian lineages.
There is no such thing as Greek. The population of the region was pelasgina/Illyrian. Those people spoke Illyrian dialects but were the same. Greece was crated in 19th century and langue is technical or artificial which they do not even understand the old language because it is Albanian dialect. Greek sate was created with religion as a base of their identity. However the Greek state was created by Albanians. This is a historical fact. Almost the entire population of Greek when ottomans came to Europe was Albanian. But that is for another time.
