Wow, so many threads on the Albanian language...
One interesting fact I learned is that the name Dalmatia is almost certainly linked etymologically to the Albanian word for sheep: "delmja." That tells me that the lost Illyrian language was probably ancient Albanian.
There are only a handful of surviving Illyrian words recorded by Romans or Greeks. I seem to recall another one: "rhinos," which meant fog. I have noticed that in modern Albanian "re" means cloud and "ajros" means air/ventilate.
