Hallsatt origin of Proto-Illyrians has actually been challenged and I personally do not believe anymore proto-Illyrians came from this wave of culture after having read a bit but rather from Vucedol, Cetina and then Glasinac Mati. Albanian language is mainly grouped within it's own branch. Some grouped it before with Germanic, Balto-Slavic, Greek and Armenian.
''Mathieson et al. 2018 archaeogenetic study included three samples from Dalmatia: two Early & Middle Bronze Age (1631-1521/1618-1513 calBCE) samples from Veliki Vanik (near Vrgorac) and one Iron Age (805-761 calBCE) sample from Jazinka Cave in Krka National Park. According to ADMIXTURE analysis they had approximately 60% Early European Farmers, 33% Western Steppe Herders and 7% Western Hunter-Gatherer-related ancestry. The male individual from Veliki Vanik carried the Y-DNA haplogroup J2b2a1-L283 while his and two female individuals mtDNA haplogroup were I1a1, W3a1 and HV0e.[2] Freilich et al. (2021) identify the Veliki Vanik samples as related to Cetina culture. They carry similar ancestry to a Copper Age sample from the site of Beli Manastir-Popova Zemlja (late Vučedol culture), eastern Croatia. The same autosomal profile persists in the Iron Age sample from Jazinka cave.[3] Lazaridis et al. (2022) examined 18 samples from Bronze Age Cetina valley and confirmed previous conclusions. Out of 10 males whose Y-DNA was successfully extracted, 9 belonged to haplogroup J2 (mainly J2b2a1-L283 subclades) and 1 to haplogroup R1b1a1b1a-Z2118. Their and female individuals mtDNA haplogroups were 2x H, H13a2a, H5, H6a1, 3x H6a1a, HV0e, 6x J1c1, N1a1a1, T1a1 and U5a1a.[4]''
Vucedol culture: ''According to Bogdan Brukner, proto-Illyrians descended from this wave of Indo-European settlers''
One sample from Vucedol I believe was confirmed R1b-z2103 also.

Glasinac Mati emerged after these cultures .
Of course we will eventually see how EV-13 fits into this picture overall.
