Thracian-Albanian-Armenian seem to be a Satemic group, opposite to kentumic group Graeco-Macedonian-Phrygian. Thracian-Albanian can be related to Aryan-Greco-Armenian cluster (strong aspirated isogloss, pH=tH-kH ) or to Balto-Slavic cluster.
Illyrian can be related to Greco-Phyrgian, or to another enigmatic IE languages in Mediterranean Europe: Lusitanian-Ligurian-Venetian (an archaic group akin to Italo-Celtic?).
