The now contemporary Serb idea that Albanians came from Thracians is flawed and silly. Linguistically it has been proven that Albanian couldn't have come from Thracian. The "Bessi" clan or other Thracians named their towns with the word para (town/city) at the end. That goes against the Albanian language rules. In modern Albanian they call a city "qytet" which is a Latin loan. However despite this, one can still prove Albanian couldn't have come from Thracian. For example you can't say "Bessaqytet" in Albanian like "Bessapara" in Thracian because it is grammatically incorrect and does not make sense, you can however say "qyteti i Bessës". This doesn't mean proto-Albanian and Thracian were not related languages because there is evidence for that as well but it does mean Albanian does not come from Thracian. So there goes that theory .
