This is a evidence from the 6-th century found in Mesaplik near the city of Vlora in Albania, in autumn 2007.Writing in a mosaique of stones, is a clear evidence of albanian culture in the past.The video is made by my friend Dukagjiniforce! Note: in the minute 1.04 the right time period is AD, not AC."The Albanian language is the oldest Indo-European idiom" according to WEBSTERS NEW TWENTIETH CENTURY DICTIONARY, Unabridged Second Edition, De Luxe Color, William Collins and World Publishing Co., Inc., 1975, ISBN: 0-539-048523-3 Albanian language roots are found in 2 of the ancient languages of the Balkan Peninsula: Illyrian & Thracian! The first attempt at explaining the origins of the Albanians and the Albanian language was made by the Swedish historian Hans Erich Thunmann in his work "Undersuchunger liber di Geschichte der Östlichen europäischen Völker" Leipzig, 1774. Thunman which based hes work on Latin and Byzantine historical sources and on linguistic, onomatopoeic documents came to the conclusion that the Albanians are autochthonous descendants of the ancient Illyrian population who were not romanised as was the case with the Thraco-Dacian population the predecessors of the Romanians.The theses of Illyrian origin theory of the Albanian people was defended by well known Austrian albanologue Johannas Georges von Hahn in his work Albanesische Studien, published on 1854. According to Johan Georg fon Hahn "Albanesische Studien" 1854:"MOTHER OF LATIN AND HELLENIC IS ALBANIAN".HOLGER PEDERSON said: "The differences in albanian dialects are very small in compering it with german or italian" Gustav MEYER in "Nouva Antologia"(1885,p 535)wrote: "Albanians should be called "New Illyrians" like greeks today "modern greeks" even thou old greek is changed with centurys illyrian remained the same albanian today."Another text written in the Albanian language that dates back to the late 15-th and early 16th centuries was found in a Greek manuscript of the 16th century in the Ambrosiana Library of Milan. It contains extracts translated from the Gospel according to St. Matthew, etc., and is written in the dialect of the South, in the Greek alphabet.This text written in Albanian is known in the Albanian literature by the name "The Easter Testament". The French priest Gurllaume Adae (1270-1341), who for a long time served as Archbishop of Tivar (1270-1341) and came to know the Albanians well, in a report entitled "Directorium ad passagium faciendum ad terrom sanctam" sent to the king of France Philip VI Valua wrote among others:"Although Albanians speak a different language from Latin, they use and write their books in the Latin alphabet". The French priest Gurllaume Adae speaks of books in the Albanian language, thus testifying that Albanian had been written well before the 15th century. In his work "De obsi dione scodrensi" (On the siege of Shkodër), published in Venice in 1504, the renowned humanist Marin Barleti also speaks of excerpts written in vernacula lingua, i.e. in the language of the country, which deal with the reconstruction of the town of Shkodër. In The tree of Indo-European Family of Languages you can NOTICE THE ALBANIAN BRANCH, TOTALLY APART FROM THE REST because it has not produced any other languages through the ages and it dasn't derive from other languages! According to Robert D. Kaplan Balkan Ghosts: A Journey Through History (Random House Inc. New York 1996) p.43 "Albanians descend from ancient Illyrian tribes that by some accounts came to the Balkan Peninsula even before the Greeks did, and more than a thousand years before the Slavs. The Albanian language, Shqip, also derives from that of the Illyrian tribes and bears no similarity to any other known tongue" According to Noel Malcolm "Kosovo: A Short History" (London: Macmillan, 1998 )p.31: It is clear that Albanian is indeed the only surviving representative of an ancient Balkan language: it belongs to the Indo-European family of languages, but exists in a sub-section of its own, with no immediate relatives. If either Illyrian or Thracian could be identified as its parent this would at least set some fairly clear geographical limits to the early home of the Albanians"! Albanians are currently living in some of the territories, which were inhabited by Illyrians in ancient times; on the other hand, historical sources do not speak of any Albanian migration from other territories to the present ones! A number of linguistic elements such as names of things, tribes, people, etc, of Illyrian origin, are explained in the Albanian language.The ancient toponymic forms of the Illyrian Albanian territories, as compared to the corresponding present-day forms, prove that they have evolved in conformity with the rules of the historical phonetics of the Albanian language.
