Is the Albanian language older than the Greek one??

It's nice of you to call the bullshit in the Greek narrative, but let me clue you that you are not also required to ignore the mountain of Albanian bullshit being peddled in this forum.

So majority of greeks spoke albanian but modern greek creeped up as written language then everyone started speaking it.. same thing as tosk in albania, in 20-30 years everyone will speak with tosk dialect because is the written version.

You must be dreaming up this shit. Is that what they teach you at schools?

We have written accounts in Greek from 1453 till today.

Exactly. Well said.
Its such an insult to us all when greeks try to get way with this shit.

Albanian is oldest atom in europ.

I don't think that Albanian would of formed a branch with Greek, our languages are very different and don't share a connection like Greek and Armenian do. Also Albanian developed far from Greece or Greek influenced lands and afaik Thraco-Dacians or Illyrians didnt speak a language similar to Greek

Armenian is Satem - Greek is Centum
Albanian is Satem.

Greek and Armenian vernacular is not similar

[Queen B]

Armenian is related to Greek because it is descended from a language once spoken close to modern Bulgaria that was related to Greek.

Greek is not related to Armenian language.

If you notice in the image the language in which homer wrote is similar to modern day Albanian one.

Spoiler!

Any thoughts on this?

I have seen this list ....they are some words that are very similar but i think this is normal ,these are ancient word a part "mjeshter" that is the borroved italian maestro...but we can not say that albanians is older or not with only 30 words..... because homeric greek is not limited to 30 or 50 words,the world ancient and medieval was not like the the today world.....for examle ...i hear for my greatfather that his father and maybe his great father go to Thessalonika with caravan to buy what they need...All the men in the village formed 1 caravan ang go and return in 1 month with what they buying in Greece....and i suspect it was so for hundreds of years....peoples before was not so blind nationalists like today....i find normal that we have some comun words and maybe we have 1 comun ancestor language in very ancient times but not more in classical times ...because like say Pausanias "to talk with illyrians they went with a translator"....now the problem is that due to hundreds of occupants during the millennium the language is corrupted.....i read 1 austrian theory that infact we are not illyrians but native that was Puted into slavery by illyrians....but these old history are interesting only for historians for normal peoples are like fairy tales...so who cares who is older or not ,today we are what we are...

TLDR of this thread: Here is a pic I found on Facebook, therefore ancients Greeks spoke Albanian.
