Is the Albanian language older than the Greek one??

[Ujku]

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 suspect Albanian and Greek once were more similar than today, and that they share a common linguistic ancestor closer than to anyone else. Armenian too.

Dont think theres enough evidence

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

Actually, Albanian belongs to the same family tree as Armenian

Yh I know but Albanian doesn't have this relationship with Greek for example there is a hypothetical branch of Indo-European called Greco-Armenian but there isn't one called Greco-Albanian. Btw do Armenians still have any Balkanic/Euro genes apart from a few haplogroups like E-V13?

Armenian or Phrygian used to be more similar to Greek, but then it fell under the influence of Persians and became a Satem language.

Albanian used to be less similar to Greek but became somewhat more similar after the 11th century which is when Albanians are first recorded.
