I have no doubt Albanians are largely descended from Illyrians, at least paternally(E-V13/J2b2/some R1b). Linguistically there is very little evidence for or against the connection, so until further evidence surfaces, its just going to be more of the same bs theories. I think even if there was linguistic evidence that surfaced, many neighbors would deny it for the sheer fact we are Albanians. When someone brings themselves to hate a thing, they will be too blind to see the lies they perpetuate. Its human. If people do not know how to organize their hate, and not let it overcome their decision making, they tend to run with pure desire and agenda. Even with the evidence that genetically Albanians are largely natives, whether the language is Illyrian or not, you still see people trying to deny the truth.
It depends on what the original carriers of this branch called themselves. Though, as mentioned prior, Proto-Croats are not ethnically, culturally and patrilineally the same as Modern Croats. I agree when you say(assuming it is mostly common among Croats) that Croatians themselves descend from these proto-Croatians. But, to say all with this branch are specifically Croatian would be incorrect, at least from a wording point of view. I would imagine if other Balkan peoples with this branch come directly from Modern Croatian peoples, that they should have a younger TMRCA related to this connection. However, if their TMRCA match that of the older movements of that clade, then the proper statement would be that Balkan peoples with I-S17250 are descended from Proto-Croats, rather than more recent middle age Croatians. For example, if an I2a slav only became Greek 200 years ago, then his TMRCA and mutations should reflect the shift. However, if his TMRCA dates back to the inception of the line, then it would be more appropriate to assign it to Proto-Croats. The oldest to carry this mutation was discovered in a medieval slav from Poland is this correct? Assuming this branch is part of I2-Din. If that is the same sample, then, given current evidence, I would agree with you considering where the branch was discovered.
Dibran the language aspirations does not fit for Illyrian ancestry,
exclude V-13, cause its pre-IE,
V-13 did not spoke IE, how fantastic is to speak Illyrian or Albanian
J2 is a strange case,
for example we know that Both Myceneans and Minoans were J2a1
but only Myceneans are consider as a characteristic IE
Noricum is the motherland of Illyrians
Sile is correct
and their language was Celtic,
Like Aromanian.
in Fact at linguistic terms Aromanians (Remenii|) have more possibility to be Illyrians, that have Albanians,
these are θεσεις theseis, basic accepted to establish the Theorema.
to end, the bellow is fact. wanted or not,
Albanians have a genetical connection with W Aimos peninsula,
but not a linguistic,
if they were Illyrians they should clearly speak a centum language,
close to N Italian, with enough Germanic
you need another theory or axioma to use as accepted, to found as accepted,
look for example me.
I am G2a3, mt X2
my HG might be in Greece before the arrival of IE Mycenean or Greeks, or after
my ancestors maybe spoke summerian or Hatti or whatever,
today I consider my shelf a Greek, by tradition of family,
same is for most the HG in Balkans, even I Hg,
except R1b R1a,
and the strange role of J2 in IE
Illyrians
were a celtic tribe,
their origin was Noricum modern Austria,
they descent all down to what Pliny names as Illyria proprie Dicti,
do not mix the Illyrians with Illyricum,
the first were a tribe, the second were Roman citizenship after a Huge province.
