		Only feasible conclusion is that Albanian is not a language that in antiquity bordered Greeks and Romans for thousands of years and that it is in fact an intruder language at least when it comes to the region of southern hellenistic Illyria.
		The Albanian language is not "Illyrian",it just have Illyrian words and other elements,the Albanian language is to Illyrian what is Spanish to Latin.While the Greek language is 90% Greek and includes almost all of the ancient Greek glossological elements.I am sorry...but that's reality.
