Nice. Would it be possible to DNA test them?

You are posting in the wrong forum again, about people who are totally unrelated to you.

''The language penetrated into the mountains regions of Illyria and mixed with the tongue spoken by the inhabitants, but it did not replace the local language anymore that it did in the Pyrenees and the mountains of Cantabria. In the Albanian lexicon that I have published, there are over 100 words of undeniable Roman origin. During the whole period when the Greeks were neighbours of this people, less than one-third as many Greek words penetrated the language. But, before the rise of the Eastern Empire, the Greeks were never the ruling nation in this region. The Macedonians and the Epirotes, who from time to time had extended their areas of settlement deep into this region, most probably spoke the same language. Although their towns were centres of Greek culture, the Dyrrhachians and Apollonians were too weak to exert any particular influence. Their power was so limited that, even at their zenith, they were under Illyrian dependency.

Interesting ............

What is so interesting in the deluded mumblings of an Albanian? The Romans destroyed the Ardiaei during the Illyrian wars and Greeks repopulated the most of Albania with the Romans renaming it Epirus Nova after the Greek colonizers:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epirus#Epirus_Nova

Probably during the provincial reorganization by Diocletian (r. 284–305), the western portion of the province of Macedonia along the Adriatic coast was split off into the province of New Epirus (Latin: Epirus Nova). Although this territory was not traditionally part of Epirus proper as defined by the ancient geographers, and was historically inhabited predominantly by Illyrian tribes, the name reflects the fact that under Roman rule, the area had been subject to increasing Hellenization and settlement by Epirote tribes from the south.^[27]

It should be. The results would be very interesting.
