For someone who has a clue on Albanology, the Albanian linguists are
the last ones that are paid to prove that Albanian is a continuation
of Illyrian.
For myself, I am five or six years without a job and really I am
very curious to know which center is paying to prove something that,
to my view, is very obviously.
I will be very grateful to you and maybe I will be proud (if I will
be PAID) to be descendent of Illyrians.
