Wow, it's amazing how diverse and rich the Albanian language is! It has such a fascinating history and beautiful expressions. 🌟🇦🇱 A lot of experts lately are saying that the language is 7,000 years old , making it the oldest language in Europe! I believe that. Good job, keep it going 👍🏼

[@MikeInliters]

The Heggarty paper cited in this video is considered to be wrong by most linguists. This video is ethnonationalist propaganda based on fringe science. Also, it doesn't make any sense to say a language is "the oldest" or "thousands of years old", because every language in the world is basically equally old. Every language is the result of transmission from one generation to the next as "the same language", but within a few generations or a few centuries languages change into new languages depending on many factors. Whether it's 7000 years or 5000 or 4000 or whatever, that number doesn't represent how old Albanian is. It represents when an ancestor language of Albanian split from a common ancestor. Latin was spoken over 2000 years ago, but that doesn't make Spanish 2000 years old. And whenever the precursors to Albanian split from the rest of IE, that doesn't show when Albanian split from all the intervening languages, like stages of Illyrian or whatever. Identifying some ancestor of Albanian from 7000 years ago doesn't make it "older" than any other language in Europe or anywhere else in the world, because all the other IE languages following that split would also trace back to that same split 7000 years ago. In other words, German, English, Russian are also 7000 years old in the same sense. But please forget this random nonsense number "7000", because that is simply the claim of one recent scientific publication that is not accepted by other linguists. It is very likely to be wrong. To understand this better, let's say hypothetically that human language started 100,000 years ago and all existing languages trace back to one or more languages from that time. We really do NOT know when it started, so this is just hypothetical. That means that Albanian is 100,000 years old according to your thinking. But it also means that every other language in the world is 100,000 years old. Yes, Albanian is a great and unique language and culture, just like every other language and culture in the world, but you don't need pseudoscientific ethnonationalist propaganda to prove that. Yes, Albanian, Hellenic, Armenian and Tocharian are special because they are on branches of IE that separated before the major expansion of IE in the Corded Ware era. Any scientist will agree with that basic fact. You don't need idiotic pseudoscientific claims about "oldest" blah blah blah to be proud of your language and culture for any reason you choose to.

Albanian language os made up of Proto-Albanian words (directly related to Proto-Indo-European) and some Pre-Indo-European words, while the vast majority of. Albanian vocabulary is made up of ancient Latin (at least some 60%) and ancient doric Greek. That in itself tells you that Albanians were there in the Balkans because where else could their language been so drastically latinaized and greecesized if not in the Balkans… and remeber, Illyrians were still around in the time of Romans and well after the fall of Roman empire….The only language the Illyrians of that time could speak could have been only the Latin…What the Illyrian soike before the Roman time is hard to say, but logically it could have been a dialect of Proto-Indio- European…or a combination of Pre and Proto-Indo-European….

Albania is an autochthonous people that has been fighting for its freedom and independence for centuries against enemies and oppressors of all kinds: the Albanians: Through all the struggles and all the historical upheavals, this people has retained its originality; Neither the migration of peoples nor the battles with Serbs, Turks and other conquerors and oppressors were able to prevent the Albanians from maintaining their uniqueness pure and unadulterated in race and language, in customs and manners. Historian - Hanslörg Frommer Today only the Albanians, with their independent language, see themselves as descendants of the Illyrians. Historian -Theodor Mommsen was a German historian and is considered one of the most important antiquarians of the 19th century. The only Nobel Prize winner for literature. The brave ones from Eperius are the Albanians from antiquity, loyal, courageous traditional people whose flag has always been their eagle. Karl Kaser - historian Sees today's Albanians as the descendants of the remaining non-Omanized Illyrian population. To support his view, he cites results from Albanian archeology and linguistics Johann Georg von Hahn Josef ritter von xylander historian These two represent the thesis of the autochthonous nature of today's Albanians, which is linked to the Pelasgian question. The Albanians have a language completely different from that of the Latins, Greeks and Slavs, so they cannot communicate in any way with other peoples". Historian - Jakob Philipp Fallmerayer There is a people on the Illyrian Peninsula whose language, in its structure and core, bears not the slightest resemblance to either Greek, Turkish or the Slavic dialects spoken today in most of the South Danube countries.

I have been rooting for the Fertile Crescent mainly because of archeology, DNA and folklore. For example we know based on genetics and linguistic studies Albanian is an early language, based on archeology we also know people have lived in that region for millennia so that leaves the folklore to fill in the gaps. Well according to the ancient epic songs carried over from generation to generation as oral history especially amongst the highlanders we know Albanians were told by their ancestors that they came to those lands via the Black Sea before Black Sea existed. Based on geology we know that Black Sea was created about 8000 years ago and that's just too early for Yamnaya.

[@ChildrenOfTheEagle]

Going in to this project in notised how much politicalized this topic really is. Right of the bat the internet is filled with Proto-Indo-European language and Yamnaya theory, which by the way considers the Albanian language as non-existent and claiming that the Albanian language settled in the Balkans in the 12th century AD. It's this particular camp that pushes their political agenda to undermin and demonize the Albanian heritage.

Speaking of folklore. I was watching a documentary about Dibra region and the guide who was very knowledgeable about the region's history was saying-'sometimes history is much better preserved through folklore as it goes from one generation to another, than the writings, which can be lost due to many reasons' or even manipulated as we've seen sometimes. And, Albanians are known to sing songs, either in their northern ballads or southern polyphony about every event that they've had, which is still being practiced to this day.

From what I have been reading too; the Albanian language is closest with the Messapic language which are both related to the Illyrian language, and from this video it seems Proto-Illyrian would have developed before Proto-Greek, and Proto-Thracian which makes sense since the Albanian language splits off 500 years before Greek did from Indo-European.

genetically the EEF/Anatolian farmer folk are not the same as the peoples of the open steppe most associated with Indo-European, such as Yamnaya, Cimmerian, Scythian etc. The main haplogoup of these peoples seems to be R1b, of a R type haplogroup Y chromosome, where as the majority of EEF is G2a, such as we found in Otzi the Iceman. The early farmer folk I think likely spoke the pre-Indo-European language such as the Pelasgian, Etruscan and Rhaetian peoples, the later two likely being remnants of the early Po River culture of the Terramare etc. One thing we find in places is that the EEF folk, when the Steppe migrations brought these peoples together, the farmers moved up into the mountain areas away from the herdsman steppe peoples, so it well could be the Pelasgian are a remnant group of such peoples having moved up into the mountains of what is today Albania, is interesting to think on.

The ludicrous chart at 12'40' contrasting the Greek words with the Albanian diction and the Homeric one is hilariously misleading through either ignorance or wishful cherry-picking. The Greek word “nero”, for instance, actually stems from the ancietnt Greek adjective “νεαρόν» (nearon) meaning fresh, as in νεαρόν ύδωρ ( nearon hydor) = fresh water. Νεμέας (Nemeas) does not mean "curse" in Homeric Greek, but it refers to the area of Nemea in the Peloponesse, steming from the ancient and modern Greek root νέμειν=nemein, which means to distribute, to seperate, to share out. It is still used in Greek in many derivatives like διανέμω, οικονομία (the fair distribution/order of the home), Νεμεσις, απονέμω, etc... Γορός does not mean knee, but is an adjective meaning "bent". The Homeric woed for knee is "γόνυ", modern greek γόνατον, with the particle γο- refering to anything that bends or makes a sharp turn as in γωνία (gonia) = corner, angle. Either maliciously or ignorantly you pose the greek word thymos (anger) against the Ηomeric word "Mηνίω", without mentioning the modern/ancient word μένος/menos, which also means "anger"and the derivative of "μηνύω", used to this day by Greeks to mean to "charge someone with a crime". Even the accents are wrong in your text. Other words in the chart are also falsely represented to accommodate the wishful thinking of their authors. "Vrotos", for instance, is not a verb, but an adjective meaning "mortal, perishable, like in modern Greek "trotos" τρωτός. The listed word "γριά" is the modern Greek rendering of Homeric "γραία" and it does not mean "married woman" but "old woman". "Gynaika" means "woman" from the declention of the ancient Greek "gynee" γυνή.. In Homeric Greek the word would have been "γυνή γαμήτις", or simply "γυνή". "Βοή" is wrongly rendered as "thrino" (to mourn), whereas to this day, as in Homeric times, it meant "any loud cry or continual noise sound" as in modern Greek "βουητό" (prolonged noise) and βους = cow (due to its moaning sound), and it has survived in the compound of modern Greek as "βοήθεια" = to cry out to the divine (θείον) for assistance. You see, the derivatives of these Homeric roots function only in Greek, not in Albanian, the latter probably having borrowed and mispronounced many Greek words, as less developed neighbors often do... At the end of the day, it does not matter which language is the “oldest”, but which language has had the greatest impact on the world through its compilation of ideas and etymology. And this language is incontestably found in the Hellenic branch, whose script is the oldest of all European languages.. Besides, speaking of "script"..., there are no written records of Albanian before the 13th century of our common era. Any similarities between Homeric Greek and Albanian may very well be attributed to the cultural-linguistic influence of the more advanced Greeks on their more primitive northern neighbours, or even a common Indo-European root, the latter of which theory is just that: theoretical... Tell your quasi-paralinguists to stop feeding their delusions with ill-founded nationalistic wishful thinking, claiming that Achilles is a Pelasgian who spoke Albanian as the ahistorical Slavs to the north of Macedonia claim Alexander to be theirs.

[@ChildrenOfTheEagle]

I just love it when articulated people like you use fancy word to disclaime that Albanian language doesn't have a written record before the 13th century, yet fancy studies like the one mentioned in the video - not to mentioned the Harvard language study, smashes meager attempt like your's. Given you consider Albanien language as being primitiv and Greek language as more advanced, it's pretty safe to conclude that you're not that fond of Albanian history and that's ok. I don't mind! As for the Homeric words I provided - and 2,000 other words I haven't - is pretty remarkable that 2,700-ish years later theses words are still used by Albanians. Aaha yeah.. Achilles. Did you know that Greeks, not sure if Homer did, used to call him Aspetos? In Albanien Gheg 'A i shpejt' or 'I shpejt o' means - He is fast. In the Iliad he's mentioned numerous times as being fast and unkillable, hence the nickname 'the fast one' or 'swift-footed''. The same goes for the word Achilles.. In Albanien Gheg, 'Ach i let o' , means 'He is so light'. Just for the fun of it, what does Aspetos mean in Greek?

[@panagiotisterpandrouzachar7754]

@@ChildrenOfTheEagle I truly thank you from the bottom of my heart for exposing your ignorance and your "selective" etymology of Greek words. Unfortunately for you, apart from us Greeks, there are reputed, world-renowned linguists who have compiled dictionaries of ancient and modern Greek. Here is the dictionary entrance for "aspetos" in Liddel & Scott dictionary and in every ancient Greek dictionary throughout the world that reveals your ignorance: ἄσπετος: -ον (εἰπεῖν), from the negational Greek particle "α-" and ειπείν (to say/tell), meaning ανείπωτος (that which cannot be expressed in words, unspeakable), ανέκφραστος (undescribable), απερίγραπτα μεγάλος (indescribably great), σε Όμηρ.· ουδ. ως επίρρ., ἀνείπωτα, σε Ομήρ. Ιλ. It is a derivative of the irregular greek verb "λέγω" (to say), and is used to this very day in Greek in forms like "είπα" (I said), "τι είπες;" (what did you say?). In short, the word "aspetos" (unspeakable) has nothing to do with one who runs fast, which is "ωκύπους" in the Iliad, from ωκύς=fast and πους/πόδι=foot, i.e. "fast-footed Achilles". Mr "Children of the Eagle", I happen to be a linguist who has studied both in Grece and abroad, and can provide you with any information regarding the Greek language and the non-existence of any Albanian substantial script before the 13th or even the 15th century. I can also assure you that without Greek words in your language, you would not be able to communicate in the modern world. The very word "history", that you so like to use, is a derivative of the Greek irregular verb "οίδα", which means "to know": αρχ. ἱστορία < ἵστωρ < εἰδέναι του οἶδα "γνωρίζω". And yes, I am very fond of history. That is why I can reveal your ignorance. You may collect as many cudos as you wish from your equally ignorant followers, but there will always be facts and educated people to descredit all your nonsense. You have been exposed! (PS. Please provide us with any literature or writing in Albanian prior to the 15th century...)

From Pelasgian to Illyrian to Kosovar Albanian The Pelasgians, an ancient civilization, pre-Hellenic and pre-Indo European inhabited the Balkan region, including modern-day Albania. Although their language and culture are not well-documented, historians believe they were polytheistic and had a patriarchal society. Over time, the Pelasgians gave way to the Illyrians, a distinct ethnic group. The Illyrians are thought to have inherited the language and culture of the Pelasgians, and they, in turn, passed it down to the Albanians. This connection is supported by ancient authors, who noted the similarity between the languages and customs of the Illyrians and the Albanians. Fast-forward to modern times, and we find the Kosovar Albanians, who are the direct descendants of the Illyrians. The Kosovar Albanian language and culture retain many features inherited from their Illyrian ancestors, including linguistic and genetic ties to the ancient Pelasgians. Key Points: Pelasgians: Ancient civilization in the Balkans, polytheistic and patriarchal society. Illyrians: Inherited language and culture from the Pelasgians, distinct ethnic group. Kosovar Albanians: Direct descendants of the Illyrians, retaining linguistic and cultural ties to their ancestors. Albanian language: Contains elements inherited from the Pelasgians, as deciphered by Nermin Vlora Falaski in his book “Linguistic and genetic heredities”. Cortona, an ancient city founded by the Pelasgians, has a connection to the Tosk word (“DHE” synonym) used in modern Albanian. 😊😊

As a Greek, I deeply admire Albanians and take pride in our Balkans, the birthplace of many ancient, influential cultures. My own research, consistent with the Max Planck study, suggests that Armenian, Greek, and Old Balkan languages (including Albanian) are among the oldest branches of Proto-Indo-European, possibly predating languages like Ancient Egyptian and Sumerian. However, Elena Kokaqi's interpretations appear flawed. The citation around 12:10 may misleadingly imply that Homer’s language was predominantly Albanian and that Modern Greek is disconnected from Homeric Greek. This view is often perceived as Albanian propaganda by international scholars and literate audiences. Even if Albanian preserved more Homeric roots than Modern Greek, it’s likely due to Modern Albanian being another distinct branch of Homeric Greek, potentially more conservative than Modern Greek. Alternatively, shared roots could represent loanwords within an otherwise independent Albanian language. The table at around 13 minutes is totally inaccurate, suggesting either misunderstanding or a political motive: γορός appears in Aeschylus but as a spelling variant of γυρός ('rounded, curved, crooked', not "knee")-a word still used in Modern Greek with the same meaning. Compare γυρoς, 'gyros', the typical Greek street food prepared to form a rounded grilled meet, 'gyro-', etc.). μηνίω (not μηνιώ) is a verb meaning "to cherish wrath," with no equivalent ending (ω) in Albanian but in Modern Greek. Albanian mënia resembles μανία (mania), 'madness, mania, frenzy' in both Ancient and Modern Greek, but lacks fidelity in form. βοή still means "loud cry, the murmur of a crowd" in Modern Greek (compare βοή-θεια 'aid called for, succour'), and θρῆνος also retains its meaning. I could point out several errors in every line of the table. The table generally disregards apparent Modern Greek cognates of Ancient Greek words. It replaces them with Modern Greek synonyms of different etymological origins, misleadingly suggesting a break between Greek's Ancient, Medieval, and Modern stages. Moreover, other significant misinterpretations persist. For instance, γραῖα and γρια, both meaning 'old woman', and ἥλιος ('sun') exist in both Ancient and Modern Greek with the same spellings and meanings. Ms. Kokaqi’s alignment of ἥλιος ('sun') with Modern Greek αστέρι ('star') over Modern Greek ἥλιος ('sun') seems arbitrary, while the Albanian yll, and all the other dubious Albanian "cognates" in column 2 remain distinct in spelling, sound and meaning. Thank you for this otherwise informative and highly valuable video!

What remains unclear in this lovely video is the connection between the Ev13 haplogroup (which os the most dominant haplogroup among Albanians), on one hand, and the Indo-Europeans , on the other. We can see in the video that the Ev13 migration is not the same as the Info-European migration to the Balkans. So which one got to the Balkans first, Ev13 or the Indo European.. Also, what happened to the oroginal language of the Ev13 migrants to the Balkans?

[@ChildrenOfTheEagle]

A legitimate question for once. While the Max Planck study points out that the Albanian language originally began south of the Caucasus sometime 8,100 years ago, the study does not rule out that the language may have migrated there at an earlier stage. If so, the movement of the genetic makeup of E-V13 shown at 08:05 could either mean that the Albanian language was spoken even earlier than the study suggests, or that the language took shape south of the Caucasus around 8,000 years ago. As for the "original language" of E-V13, it is very challenging to assigning the first language to the haplogroup. Either way, quite a remarkable discovery to say the least.

@@Baracuda123-x1t Only albanians do this sh1t. Take the Greek words , twist them and f@ck them upside down and .... Voila .... albanian translation. Lets take the first 3 words: eis oionos aristos = the best sign .. You turned into esh .... with completely different meaning Plus albanians don't have alphabet. They use the latin one

[@hrvatskiapoksiomen9]

As a historian i have to tell you that you do the same mistake that some slavs (Serbians and Vardarskans) do. You try to etymologise Greek words that Albanians, Slavs and rest of the world adopted from Greeks and Homer used. And i ask them the same question: "Why you etymologise only 1 or 2 hundreds Greek words that Homer used and albanians adopted and not the total of 8-9 thousands Greek words that Homer used"?

[@universalconquest4447]

But if Slavs and Albanians took these words from Homer why is it that today only Albanians use words such as anger, water, earth, star, mountain, etc. from 13:02 but somehow Southern Slavs and Modern Greeks do not use these words. This would mean there is continuity from Homer to Albanian, but not from Homer to Modern Greek or Southern Slavic.

[@davidaxelos4678]

​@@universalconquest4447That list at 13:02 is very dubious: Ήλιος has always meant sun, and not star, for example!

[@Henrik_channel]

In greek you can not translate anything so that means Albanian is closer to Homer language

[@davidaxelos4678]

@@Henrik_channel Complete nonsense. Good luck trying to understand Ilias and Odyssée if You know only Albanian.

[@hrvatskiapoksiomen9]

@@Henrik_channel Let's be specific. For example etymologise this original Homer's text , word by word: Homer's Iliad, Rhapsody M, Line 243: "Είς οιωνός άριστος, αμύνεσθαι περί πάτρης" (Hector's saying: Eis oionos aristos amynesthai peri patris= the best sign is to fight for your country) When i give specific original quotes to my slav compatriots who claim also Homer they sh@t up If you cant etymologise all Homer's phrases but you Cherrypick selectively a couple of words, is because you adopted thousands Greek words like every people did

Zeus said that out of all his sons, Dardanus was his most beloved, and he would never let his people be lost from this Earth. We are living proof of that prophecy, still speaking our ancient language, still protecting our way of life. We have outlived many empires, and we will outlive many more! "Se Zoti vetë e tha me gojë Që kombe shuhen përmbi dhe, Por Shqipëria do të rrojë; Për të, për të luftojmë ne!'

You forget the resemblance to the Dacian/Thracian languages wich have a multitude of simillar words. Nicolae Iorga (Romanian Genius), the writer of Albania's history, has also studied And wrote about this..

I understand that being a neighbor to the Greeks brings a lot of cultural complexity, but it’s crucial to find your place in the world through realistic approaches, not by holding onto fantasies. I apologize for being so direct, but I felt it was necessary to be clear about my thoughts on this video. The very beginning gave me the impression that the content might not be grounded in reality.

The oldest script in the world is the Vinča script, which was created in the territory of today's Serbia and is over 7,500 years old. Today's Serbian script has many letters in common with that first script. The oldest Serbian script was called BUKVICA because the first two letters of this script were "BUK" and "VEDI". Another name for beech is "BOGVEDICA". All the letters of that letter had a meaning, just like the Hebrew letters have. But not only that, these meanings always refer to ONE God, the monotheistic biblical God. The letter "BUK" means simply "God", while "VEDI" means knowledge, to know, to see. So the name of the Serbian script itself meant "God's knowledge" or "Knowledge of God". This is where the current name of the Serbian alphabet comes from - AZBUKA, after the first letters "AZ" and "BUK". The same applies to the Serbian Glagolitic script, because it is only a reformed Serbian script. The letters of the Serbian Glagolitic alphabet have meaning. If we read the letters of the Glagolitic script, we will get one meaningful sentence, which is certainly not the case by accident. А - аз - "I" Б - буки - "God" В - веди - «see, know» Г - глагољ - "to speak" Д - добро - "good" Е - јест - "is, to be" Ж - живиот - "life, alive" Дз - зело - "many, force" З - землја - "land" И - иже - «who, which» К - како - «how» Л - лјуди - "people" М - мислите - "think" Н - наш - "our" О - он - «he» П - покој - "rest" Р - реци - «to say» С - слово - "letter" Т - твердо - "hard, strong" У - ук - «learning, knowledge» So, from this we see that every letter of the Glagolitic alphabet has a meaning, similar to Jewish letters. And not only that, but from the meaning of these letters we get a sentence in which the Lord describes Himself, and it reads roughly like this: I, the All-Seeing God, the Creator (of the heavens and the earth), speak only the Truth. I am a living Force that exists on Earth, and I know every human thought. I, your (heavenly) Father, grant you peace. And I have clearly communicated My Law and My commandments to all people.
