Science Confirmed – The Albanian Language, Oldest Indo-European Language still in use, and Autochthonous to the Balkans

In a recent scientific article, the origin of Indo-European languages, including Albanian, Armenian, and Greek, is studied using sophisticated methods. The published data confirms that Albanian is one of the oldest Indo-European languages still in use.

Moreover, research primarily conducted through computational linguistic studies confirm the ancient age and originality of the Albanian language.

Researchers have also conducted DNA studies and verified that the Albanian population is indigenous and very ancient in these territories.

Both studies complement and reinforce each other, providing conclusive scientific evidence that both the Albanian people and the Albanian language are at least 6000 years old and indigenous to these lands.
