So I will start with some,that are not cognates with Latin.

horse - romanian cal (c is read as albanian k) - albanian kalë
raven - romanian corb (c is read as albanian k) - albanian korb
bandage - romanian fașă (romanian ș is read as albanian sh, ă as albanian ë ) - albanian fashë
shirt - romanian cămașă (as said above,about letters c,ă,ș corresponding sounds from albanian) - albanian këmishë
birch - romanian mesteacăn (as said above,about c and ă) - albanian mështeknë
tinder - romanian iască - albanian eshkë
spark - romanian scânteie - albanian shkëndije
fish - romanian pește - albanian peshk
exchange - romanian schimb - albanian shkëmbim

(the meaning of the words are identical in both languages).
Are more cognates,just put here some

[safinator]

The words are around 160 from what i've read but i don't remember them now.
It has been hypothized it exists due to a common Paleo-Balkanic substratum.

[Arbërori]

I know of Romanian catun & Albanian katun, basically meaning village or small settlement.

I know think Romanians use "ora" as time just like albanians

I also think Romanians use the expression "sa ështe" as well

[Arianiti]

The similar words are because both nations/populations lived closely or were immediate neighbors before slavs invaded this area.

Even for the word shka, shqa we have similar words.

Both Albanians and Romanians have Thracian and Dacian(More so Romanians) ancestry.

Alot of the Illyrian tribes, especially in today's kosovo, were a mixture of Illyrian-Thracian.

Then there's the Vlachs which are descendants from Romania.

what nationality are you?

Yes, they are dacians and we are Illyrians and maybe Thracians, thats why we have similar words. It is not that we are exactly the same, but we lived side by side.
