Welcome to Eupedia, although I must ask you to mind your manners.
I am sorry to disappoint you, but you are mistaken by a long shot.
thank you for welcoming me and no your opinon does not dissapoint me at all
Cavalli-Sforza based that estimate on glottochronology, which is a completely flawed method. There is also no evidence that Albanian "stayed almost the same for thousands of years", on the very contrary, Albanian probably didn't look recognizably like modern Albanian until the start of the Middle Ages. Albanian borrowed large amounts of vocabulary from Greek, Latin, Gothic, Slavic and Turkish (in approximately that chronological order).
i cant say much about his methods of cavalli-sforza but his not the only one which confirms the paleo-induoeuropean orgin of the albanian language i just posted him because he is the only one who named a number
actually many ancient foundings like this one can be translated to the modern albanian
no not really albanian has loanwords like any other language but the amount of it compared to the orginal albanian words is very slight
All these "translations" of Etruscan in Albanian are based on magical word-dismantlement and make-believe. It's clear that Etruscan was a non-Indo-European language (while Albanian, in turn, is clearly Indo-European) and the two have no connection what so ever with each other. There is even an easy way to prove this: the Pyrgi tablet is a bilingual Etruscan-Phoenician inscription. Phoenician is a Semitic language - closely related with Hebrew, and so we know the content of the inscription. The Etruscan inscription should have the same, which is - even though not word-for-word, the case for the 'official' (scholarly) translation. I am still waiting for a 'translation' by those who who believe that Etruscan was Albanian, Slavic, Turkish (or whatever) that is not unintelligible gibberish.
now you are talking nonsense what magical word-dismantlement? the words can be translated in modern albanian in the same notation
clearly? not at all the indoeuropean theorie of the albanian language is heavily debated by linguists
of course they have a connection and of three of the pygri tablets which were found only one is in phoenic the two others are etruscan and who says that the phoenic inscription is just a translation of the two etruscan ones if the "officials" dont know what it means?? lol
you have your translation in albanian let me research a while i will post some sources
There were no "Pelasgo-Illyrians". This is a complete fabrication:
- The Pelasgians in the sense of the ancient Greeks were either the earliest ancestors of the Greeks themselves, or the Pre-Greek inhabitants of Greece. They are not strictly speaking a historic people but more a semi-legendary one. At this point, we have no connection with the Albanians or the Albanian language.
i use "pelasgo-illyrian" as a hypernym fo all the members of this big paleo-induoeuropean or illyric family
the word pelasgian was used by ancient writters to describe everything what is pre-hellenic and the only one who lived before the hellens there were the "pelasgian" so pre-helleinc illyrian-epiriotic tribes
and of course we have a connection with the albanian one why do you talk without any knowlegde about the albanain language
here you have it: http://books.google.de/books?id=IJ2...age&q=greek language albanian compare&f=false
- The Illyrians were the tribes that inhabited the western Balkans in Antiquity. Their languages are poorly attested but one of them may have been the ancestor language of modern Albanian. There is no evidence they were connected in any way to the Pelasgians. It's also possible, instead, that Albanian is connected with the Dacian language.
the borders of the illyrian tribes were never defiened exactly
their tribes ruled over the whole balkan in the north, parts of austria were the panonians the adriactic venti and so on, in the south the epiriotic tribes and the mesapians in italy in the east the sub-illyrian branch of the thracians
what we can say today is that all that "what we know" about the illyrio-thracian language can be perfectly connceted to the albanian one so their paleo-indeuropean or "pelasgian" connection can not be denied you can say maybe it was not like that but you can not prove it
so what is dacian? it is a subbranch of the thracians and belongs to the illyrian-thracian language family
- In the linguistic sense, the term "Pelasgian" has been used to refer to Greek words that are of non-Greek origin, that is, words that Greek did not inherit from Proto-Indo-European. Many of these words - where it is known - are either of Anatolian (as in, the extinct Indo-European language family that includes Hittite) and Semitic origin. It is also probable that a number of the other are of Minoan origin, but we know too little about Minoan (the presumed language of Linear A) to know for sure. Anyways, there is no evidence of such "Pelasgian" words to be found in Albanian.
stop using the term greek as a synonym for hellen that is unprofesional greeks or newgreeks were formed 200 years ago their connection to the hellens is vague
so again you just repeat me with other words
we just know that pelasgian words were pre-hellenic so stop comming up with theories about hitties and minoans
the hellens were formed through the mixture of paleo-indoeuropean tribes of the illyrian family like the dorians macedonians and other epiriots
No offense, but you should really spend some time studying the basics of comparative linguistics instead, because you have no idea what you are talking about.
really? after your post i would not dare to say that but whatever
unlike you i know exactly what i am talking about
