As Милан М mentions modern Greek is derived from old church slavonic.
I never said such a thing,i said that Old Church Slavonic was based on a Slavic dialect once spoken in what is now Macedonia in Greece.
There are some 30 Ancient Greek loanwords in Albanian.[79] Many of these reflect a dialect which voiced its aspirants, as did the Macedonian dialect. Other loanwords are Doric; these words mainly refer to commodity items and trade goods and probably came through trade with a now-extinct intermediary.[11]
You have given me some script from a student who said "Although not an expert in Historical and Comparative Indo-European Linguistics myself.
We are dealing here mostly with scientific studies and comparative Linguistics, good try finding a student who found some words (as all the languages in some form or the other borrow words from another)
I dont know how many times i have to explain it to you that there is no link from indic/iranic to Albanian (as per study). Again you just reiterate with NO (own opinion) at least try to answer the study arguing below.
Albanian is 6,500 ybp separate from Anatolian and Indo-Iropean (not indic/iranic) is separate from Anatolian at 6,500, THEN we have indic/iranic separate from its root Indo-Iranian at 4,600 ybp
If you check the colour indo-iranian at 6,500 with black colour and going to iranian (light violet colour) at 4,600 and indic with (violet colour) at 4,600 separate from indo-iranian.
Albanian RED colour separate from Anatolian at 6,500 ybp
Albanian is not even separate from indo-iranian as both branches separated from Anatolian at the same time 6,500 ybp by one (separate branch) going straight west and the other going straight east. Even if Albanian would come from indo-iranian (not indic/iranic) then how could it reach the same time 6,500 when it would had to cross from indo-iranian location to Anatolia then to south east Europe?
Hope you understand by now....
You mean serious scientist who give "mythical fictional theories" and those Dacians (who are 100BC coming from north Carpathian) who write fairytales (Albanian came very late, 2nd Century) when Albanians are at least (at south east Europe) 4,335 ybp (genetically) and with language even more (Linguistic studies).
We are talking about thousands of years apart.
At least you should try to find some study who criticizes (one below)

As Милан М mentions modern Greek is derived from old church slavonic.
Albanian has early Greek loans but of course not modern Greek loans because they are derived from old chuch Slavonic around 1,000 ybp and Early Greek is around 3,500 ybp

Georgiev's Daco-Thracian theory picked up some momentum when linguists thought Illyrian was a centum language because of its affinity with Venetic. Then it turned out Venetic is very closely related to Latin. So far, we do have some Thracian inscriptions and one Dacian inscription. Nothing shows any relation to Albanian, especially Thracian.We also have no records of any significant migrations into Albania. The Byzantines recorded all Slavic, Gothic, and Avar incursions into the Balkans, so again it would be far fetched to consider Daco-Thracian as a main theory.
In addition Georgiev Draco-thracian theory is rejected by majority of scholars, and even so more with the new genetical studies which i have sourced and they attest to Albanian at the same current locations of Albanian speaking regions of at least 4,335 ybp.
As per above and majority of recent studies (genetically and linguistically) conclude that ancient Greek and Albanian is at least 5,000 ybp, and that there was no link of migrations of Albanians from the north especially Romania (there is no link at all genetically too).
Then this looks actually quite the opposite then (and logical) that Romanian language actually borrowed some Albanian as it is 5,000 ybp. Now am not saying that Albanians migrated to Romania but rather Romanian language borrowed from the south languages which were thousands of years older and came from the south.
I saw some areas of Romania have a quite of E-V13, so there might have been some migrations too, as we know that E-V13 never moved from north to south but rather south to north.
you are funny,
Ancient greek is 3500 max old, and Mycenean max 4000 y old,
the E-V13 of Bulgaria might be older than Albanian and Kossovo and Greece, (might = possible) since is crossed with PC2 and not PC4,
you take searches about G2a2 and you claim of E-V13
I read about georgeiev theory, and you should mentioned earlier that. Georgeiev is the only one claiming such thing form Albanians, no one else. Illyrian theory is not something created by Albanians, but by the majority or scholars, and you know it. Georgeiev theory is not supported by other scholars. In Albanian language are loan words by archaic Latin and doric Greek, but those are not in vlachs and Romanian languages. You don't have even a single silly source mentioning any Albanian migration from Danube. Albanians always been there and this is accepted by all the scholars. Albanian language have two dialects ,tosk south and gheg north. Those two dialects are quite different, and the split had begun at least since Roman invasion. The border line between the two, is the ancient highway Via Egnatia . Even today, who speak gheg is from North via Egnatia, and who speak tosk is from south via Egnatia. Thanks the Greek language we have the evidence that Albanians were settled North east ancient Greece since classical historic era. [emoji6] . Albanian language has some connection even with Celtic language, so I am not surprised that they have some connection with iranic or Armenian language. There are some possibilities that Armenians migrate from Balkans before settling south Caucasus. Even the phrygians firstly dwell in Balkans before going at west Anatolia. For 50 years thracia was subjugated by Persian empire around fifth century bce.
And yes the ancient Hellenic civilization was really something very impressive, but I don't see any connection with the inhabitants of modern Greece. [emoji57] . And nobody said something against helenes on the posts above.
I am just referring to the sources of Roman empire. There were avars some dacians and other tribes, but not Slavs on the Danube since the late Roman period. There are no sources for them till the last period
Yes, but Phoenicians were middle eastern people also. I didn't said that all the Illyrian myth is true, but something about that might be true, maybe. To understand the truth, we need to use everything we got, like genetics, historic writing records, archaeology, and even the myths .
[emoji562]
Baltic languages compose together with Slavic languages a distinct branch of IE. Baltic people are different by other Slavs. They are not Slavs. Maybe before 5000 years proto Albanians and proto Baltics were neighbors. They both have some same roots, maybe .

Words which Albanian (Alb.) took from Romanian (Rom.), words have Latin, Dacian, Slavic origin (continue):
Why the most scientist place Albanian before Romanian than?
If Albanian derived from Romanian then Scientist would have placed something like this (main branches from oldest to newest)
Anatolian, Tocharian, Armenian, Greek, ROMANIAN, indo-iranian, Balto-slavic, Celtic, Germanic, Italic
Ancient greek is 3500 max old, and Mycenean max 4000 y old,
I meant Ancient Greek is 3,500 ybp, however split at least around 5,000 from Anatolian.
Is Mycenean PEI?...i don't see it nowhere in the studies.

No, I didn't say that Albanian is derived from Romanian.
...
Armenian and Albanian have specifically place in IE structure. Once there were a lot of IE languages in Anatolia and Caucasus but now no.
Sometimes someone give classification of IE languages where Armenian and Albanian are in the same branch.
I gave one paper but link between Armenian and Albanian is researched from serious scientists before more the 100 years to today, Pederson was one of respectable.
It is interesting question if Armenians and Albanians can be considered as fraternal people. Today, no, because big changes haven take place both Armenians and Albanians. But in the Bronze age, in time when people speak proto Armenian and proto Albanian, they were closer to each other. Maybe as Baltic and Slavic people.
I suppose, according to model of New Zealand scientists, speakers of proto Albanian lived more Eastern in Caucasus than speakers of proto Armenian. Probably it is reason why in their model proto Albanian was closer to forerunners of Iranian languages (North Iranian). It would be interesting to research if there are similar words between today’s Albanian and Caucasus North Iranian languages, because probability exists!
But speakers of proto Armenian and proto Albanian had similarity by origin and haplogroups (R1b ht35, E-V13; difference is in proportion).
When speakers of proto Albanian left Caucasus, where they were all moving until they came to the Southern Ukraine, Moldova, Romania, it is very hard to someone gives answer.
What is about Southern Ukraine/Moldova/Romania?
I have no all answers, of course. Who has?
I gave territories of Roman Empire and beyond in first century. Greco-Egyptian geographer Claudius Ptolemy gave list of twelve Dacian tribes. Of course, there are more tribes. Here one list:
- Albocenses - lived west of the Potulatenses
- Anarti - lived in the north west
- Apuli - lived in central Transylvania with their capital at Apulum (Piatra Craivii)
- Biephi - lived west of the Buridavenses
- Buridavenses - lived in northern Moldavia with their citadel Buridava
- Calipizi - lived between the Dnestr and the Bug rivers
- Carpi - lived east of the Carpathians and west of the Dnestr river. The name of the Carpathian Mountains probably comes from the name of this tribe
- Caucoenses - lived to the east
- Ciagisi - between the Saldenses and Piephigi
- Costoboci - lived in northern and north-eastern Dacia, reaching the territory of modern Ukraine and Moldavia
- Cotenses - live east of the Buridavenses
- Crobobizi and the Trizi - lived in Dobrogea
- Keiasigi - lived in Transylvania
- Piephigi - lived in Moldavia and eastern Muntenia
- Potulatenses - between the Albocenses and Sienses
- Predavenses - lived in the west
- Ratacenses - between the Predavenses and the Caucoenses
- Saldenses - lived in the Banat and Crisana
- Sienses - lived east of the Potulatenses
- Suci - lived in Oltenia with their citadel Sucidava at the mouth of the river Olt
- Teurisci - lived in the north
- Tyragetae - lived at the mouth of the river Dnestr.
In literature there can be more tribes, but, for now, it is enough.
Could Ptolomy and other Greek and Romanian smart people from that time make difference between languages which tribes used. Somwhere yes, somewhere no. Because in this list there are tribes from different branches, not only Dacian. Languages which were not Greek or Latin were Barbarian languages, no matter if Dacian, Balto-Slavic, Celtic, Iranian, etc.
If any of these tribes is Albanian and not Dacian, what is probability that the Greek and Roman intellectuals noticed this. Very little.
It is possible that any of these (or another not in this list) tribes is Albanian and not Dacian. It is possible that better candidates are tribes from Carpathian part of Romania, Moldavia or Southern Western Ukraine (of course in today’s boundaries).
Some experts considered tribe of Carpi as Albanians. And Costoboci tribe, too. Maybe another tribe comes to mind. For example I tried to find something about Piephigi tribe, but I find nothing, and for more tribes didn’t find data.
(Speculations: Albanians often have “je”, for. example pjell = give birth; other words can have roots: fe = faith, belief; gjej = find; fe gjej = find belief).
Here only Romanian and Moldavian members of forum can help, nobody second can know better Dacia and neighbor history, then they.
In the picture hypothetical Carpi movement from Romania/Moldavia to Albania.
No, I didn't say that Albanian is derived from Romanian.
Ok then it should be the contrary of those word similarities you have posted, it's Romanian who borrowed from Albanian not the way around because Albanian according to the scientist is much older, thousands of years difference.

I don't know why you are so fixed about Albanian coming from Caucus, even if it was 5,000 years ago, there is no genetical link nor in language. Albanian is western balkanic branch coming straight from south central Anatolian (as most studies argue)
The french scholar (see minute 31) states Eastern Branch of PEI closely related with Armenian-Phrygian-Greek, while Albanian is of a Western branch Balkanic.

He also argues that...The most likely scenario is that the ancient Armenians originated in the southern Balkans in the Bronze Age, as a L32 offshoot of R1b, then migrated across Anatolia. The language was later satemised due to the long influence of Indo-Iranian languages, for example during the Mitanni period (c. 1500-1200 BCE) and during the Achaemenid Empire (550–330 BCE) when the region was part of the Satrapy of Armenia (the first historical state to be called 'Armenia'), when R1a-Z93 was introduced to Armenia.
The East European R1a-Z282 was probably brought by the Cimmerians, who are recorded to have settled around Lake Van in the Armenian Highland in the 8th century BCE. Although this is at much later time. This only confirms that R1a were the latest new comers at the Greek speaking regions and Albanian speaking regions.

That explains why someone with inside information said Armenians are 30% European H&G. Using modern Bedoins as proxy for ENF is absolut nonsense. They also seem to simply put all UHG ancestry under WHG. Not taking into account that EEF is mostly UHG + Basal Eurasian.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jireček_Line
Garrick, I'm really not getting the point of your constant attempt to connect Albanian to Armenian. Both languages, and also the Balto-Slavic languages and a host of others, are "Indo-European". I'm sure you agree with that. Most linguists believe that these languages expanded from the Pontic Caspian steppe. Do you agree with that? OK, assuming that you do, this is a graphic for the presumed dispersal of the people and languages.
The dotted line is for the Anatolian languages (Hittite etc, not Armenian). Some scholars posit that Anatolian also moved into Anatolia from the Balkans.
Whichever version you choose, Armenian still moves from the Balkans to Anatolia, not the other way around.
Even with this model, it seems to me that Albanian was in the Balkans before Slavic. In fact, to me it seems that perhaps the Slavic speakers mostly went down the middle of the Balkans, separating Romanians/Bulgarians from Albanians. I don't know how likely it is that instead Albanians later moved from the east to the west of the Balkans. Regardless, I think it's extremely likely that Slavic was the last language to appear in the Balkans.
Maybe if Taranis is around, he could correct me if I've gone wrong. He has a wealth of knowledge about linguistics.
