Albanian is an Indo-European language

[safinator]

I'm assuming "Sa" is probably Turkish-derived because that word is similiar in Balkan Slavic. From the Arabic "Saat" meaning hour:

Sa is what
Ora it's hour

Sa means how much, and ora (time) was obviously borrowed from Latin.

In Albanian originally it is more like koha.

No Sa means "how much" lol.
In romanian you ask:
"Cat este ora" lol or "Cat este ceasul".

No, they copied everything from other Languages trying establishing a new language.
But they failed.
It´s not True.
These special Scientists seems beeing biased..

Show us the evidence.

[Corvus]

It seems Albanian is a bit of a mix of diverse Indo European languages

[Ushtari]

It seems Albanian is a bit of a mix of diverse Indo European languages

then how come it isn't closely related to any of these?

[Dacul]

Ye albanians copied all from others including their folk music and folk costume (which can be found almost identical in some areas from Romania) from north iranians population,lol.
Is because both alboz and romanians have a lot from dacians,with albanians having more from dacians.

[finþaų]

The Logic says Albanian can´t be anyhow related to German and sharing both a Indo european Origin..

That's very convincing. You versus the linguistic community, and you won't even show us the evidence for your highly improbable theory.

EDIT: I remind you all, this thread is about linguistics - not culture or anything else.

The fact Romanian shares a quite bit of cognates with Albanian proves that Albanian langauge originally started out as a Vlach language (obviously the first one as Dacians were conquered and Romanized way later) but like I said the langauge was bastardized with a million of loan words. The reason why it is now considered a "language isolate" on the IE branch.

The earliest accepted document in the Albanian language is from the 15th century AD. The earliest reference to a Lingua Albanesca is from a 1285 document of Ragusa. This is a time when Albanian Principalities start to be mentioned and expand inside and outside the Byzantine Empire. It is assumed that Greek and Balkan Latin (which was the ancestor of Romanian and other Balkan Romance languages), would exert a great influence on Albanian. Examples of words borrowed from Latin: qytet < civitas (city), qiell < caelum (sky), mik < amicus (friend).
