From what research I've been getting, the origins of the Albanian language are pretty mysterious and underresearched. It mostly states that Albanian could be descendant of Illyrian or Thracian. I think that this is possible, since there is linguistic evidence of Albanian loan-words from Doric Greek (Pre-Byzantine) and Archaic Latin.

Is Albanian actually Illyrian? Or perhaps is it a combination of Thracian and Illyrian, with even some Pannonian roots?
