Its because we in the west have it easy for generations. Imho that basically sums up modern liberalism. In my country housing is huge issue and many of the left are getting punished aswell, I can't believe our government is so incompetent to allow so much immigration when we never had the...
Balaton means farm mate. Balaton is just farm town. Balla is attested in Brythonic and Goedelic languages now I can see Balla changing into fertile soil. It's not a term that is uniquely albanian.
Proto-Albanoid term diellina "henbane".[36] This term was mentioned as a "Thracian-Dacian" phytonym by the Ancient Greek pharmacologist Pedanius Dioscorides (1st century AD), and it has a clear etymological connection with the Albanian word diell "sun" (diellina "henbane" belongs to the genus...

The Albanian language is not that difficult nor is it an Indo European language on its lonesome.
The albanian language is not derived from an Anatolian substrate it's straight from the Hallstatt Rhaetic culture. I'm getting far far too many hits with Albanian etymology to just waive it off it by saying southern arc paper.
So do you think the Illyrians were traders/pirates and not that much different to Vikings or settled tribes who were basically wiped out ? I do think it's a fair observation and it might throw some concern on modern albanian theories and how they are Illyrians. The language did survive though...
