    Proto-Albanians and proto-Romanians (Y-DNA)

    An interesting discussion started in the thread dedicated to Minoan and Mycenean origins, so let's continue in a more focused manner here.

    Ancient Indo-European languages in the Balkans

    First, sorry for my ignorance in linguistics, it is not my field although I am curious about it. Here's the question: Could all paleo-Balkan languages have been more or less mutually intelligible? I'm asking because I read that proto-Indo-European is supposed to have been spoken until 2500...
