Greek magazine Βύρων: The Albanian language is connected to Illyrians, Epirotes and Macedonians

by Eneo Xhepa. Translation Petrit Latifi

In the Greek magazine “Βύρων”, we can read:

“The Albanian language, being defined, places the Albanians as a branch of the great ethnic trunk of the Illyrians, close and with a common language with the ancient Epirotes and Macedonians; the Epirotes and Macedonians, on the other hand, also belong to the barbarian Illyrians and not to the Greeks.”

Greek

“«Η αλβανική γλώσσα, όπως ορίζεται, τοποθετεί τους Αλβανούς ως κλάδο του μεγάλου εθνικού κορμού των Ιλλυριών, κοντά και με κοινή γλώσσα με τους αρχαίους Ηπειρώτες και Μακεδόνες· οι Ηπειρώτες και οι Μακεδόνες, από την άλλη πλευρά, ανήκουν επίσης στους βάρβαρους Ιλλυριούς και όχι στους Έλληνες».”
