ALBANIAN A LIVING HOMERIC LANGUAGE
Every serious modern linguist accept that Albanian is one of the oldest European language, that trace its origin back to Illyrian and Thracian. All linguistic circles maintain the view that Albanian is direct descendant of Illyrian while simultaneously has a Thracian ingredients too. All possible evidences that survives from those old languages confirm idea that they were a similar languages and differences between them were of dialectal nature.</p>

In 3200 BC, there were many, many languages spoken besides Sumerian and Egyptian, but they weren’t fortunate enough to have a writing system. These languages are just as old. To take one interesting case, the Albanian language (spoken north of Greece) was not written down until about the 15th century AD, yet Ptolemy mentions the people in the first century BC.* The linguistic and archaeological evidence suggests that Albanians were a distinct people for even longer than that. So Albanian has probably existed for several millennia, but has only been written down for 500 years. With a twist of fate, Albanian might be considered very “old” and Greek pretty “new”.

Let’s bring out a concise citation that speaks volumes about Albanian:</p>
“Skipitar, Epirot, Arnaut, or Albanian of Albania…It was the language of the ancient Illyrians (in the Greek sense of the word); perhaps the language of the bulk of the Macedonians; a language, perhaps, of the whole of ancient Greece ; and a language which was almost certainly spoken far to the north, the east, and the north-east of its present frontiers; hi other words, it is a language which has receded‘. (Source: Elements of comparative philology, Robert Gordon Latham, 1862, pg. 606-607)</p>
Now we shall present to you some tables full of ancient words, place names that can be explained via Albanian: </p>
