 Info about the Illyrians
Can anybody give me any info about those people,who Albanians claim they are they descendants?Is that true or a usual propaganda from them?What I know is that the word Illyria stopped being used during the late roman times and the term Albania was used the 13th century AD about 1000 years after.So what had happened to those Albanians during that time?Were they hiding or they just appeared later and have nothing to do with the Illyrians?

I'm pretty curious as well. Personally, at this time I couldn't care less if they are or aren't. I am just interested from a historical perspective. I know many members here have talked about this topic at times. I suggest you do a search Τεύκρος then ask more questions. I should probably follow my own advice as well. We'll see.

The Albanians aren't Illyrians I think they're of a Keltic tribe.The Illyrians had no written language so really it's anyone's guess who or what they were.If they were of a proto Greek tribe is debatable....

Illyrians descended from haalstat in 1000-1300 bc.They belong to the haalstast culture and in all outer cultural and physical charakteristics resembled Celts thought they had a different language that is not fully defined . This is the extent of the Illyrian people before conquered by the romans and the area with some differences was renamed to illyricum - a roman province.
