Ancient Albanian alphabet

[ShenGjergj]

The Todhri alphabet is an 18th century Albanian alphabet invented for writing the Albanian language by Dhaskal Todhri (born Theodor Todhri Haxhifilipi).
It is a complex writing system of fifty-two characters which was used sporadically for written communication in and around Elbasan from the late eighteenth century on.

The Todhri alphabet was discovered in Elbasan by Johann Georg von Hahn (1811-1869) who published it in 1854 his work Albanesische Studien in Jena.
He considered it to be 'the original' Albanian alphabet and a derivative of ancient Phoenician script.

Leopold Geitler (1847-1885) and Slovenian scholar Rajko Nahtigal (1877-1958) subsequently studied the alphabet, concluding that it was derived primarily from the Roman cursive.

18th century is not "ancient" it's contemporary.

It wasn't "discovered" it was invented.

Wikipedia says these are symbols that were used for religious/agricultural purposes and not a writing system/alphabet/script. Do you have anything to say?

For example, Niketas Choniates (or Acominatus, 1155–1215 or-16) in his history about Emperor Ioannes Komnenos: "... Shortly after this, he campaigned against the nation of Triballians (whom someone may call Serbians as well)

the much later Demetrios Chalkondyles (1423–1511), referring to an Islamized Christian noble: "... This Mahmud, son of Michael, is Triballian (from Mother side)

Quoting bits and pieces of Wikipedia articles from second hand sources is lying by omission.

"Even though the two names were used as synonyms by some Byzantine sources and certain heraldic inheritance, Serbian official historiography is not equalizing the Serbs and the Triballi nor it fabricates the cultural continuity between the two.[5]"

Dude, your not triballians... Triballi actually means something in albanian. It means three tribal leaders, or three chiefs.
