Default Re: Illyrians are the ancestors of the Albanians?
Worth noting: When one people disappears or is assimilated into another advancing people, they will often leave certain things behind - names, words, blood, and other cultural elements. This is relevant for two reasons in this matter. First of all in the case of the Albanians's alledged Illyrian ancestry, in which names, words and even blood isn't enough to rightfully claim ancestry. Sometimes, even direct blood relation can be corrupted. Second, it is also relevant to consider when talking about the Turkish influence on Albania.
In conclusion, no, it is not undeniable.
