    Never heard that Albanian is related to Georgian. What are you even babbling on about ?

    Only way would be that IE people were half Caucasian or half CHG basically. And IE seems to of branched off from a Caucasic+Uralic language basically. It's more or less the only relationship Albanian has to such languages or people. Other than that I'd say Greeks are by far closer to those people.

    The general rule of thumb for the centum vs satem theory is that k and g sounds became s and z. It's not rocket science. So Which one is Albanian then?

    Yes, it is.

    It's for the most part not a mix of those languages at all. A lot of the similarities with those languages is mostly due to a common Indo-European ancestor. Also shows commonalities with Germanic.

    Since it was actually believed by Hamp for example that an Albanian or Albanoid like language was spoken all across the Western Balkans, all the way up to the border of Hungary and Austria.

    But I guess you never heard of Indo European language and how they all show commonalities. You're passing commonalities that most likely come from common Indo European ancestors as ''influences'' basically without even knowing if they are influences.

    We don't even have enough of Ancient Balkan languages to compare to Albanian to even see how much it has changed. Even Latin might not of had that strong influence as believed. And Albanian might not of even changed THAT much. There is a reason why it forms an own branch within the IE tree.

    Armenians have never been present in the Balkans to of influenced Albanians so not sure what you're even talking about there , it's an Indo European language and shows similarities with other Indo European languages including Slavic, Greek etc, it's more so that Albanian, Armenian and other Indo European languages share common ancestors. Especially since it's possible Armenian came from the Balkans also.
