Summing up :

Since we discussed a lot of points about Dacians, Thracians , their
possible linguistic descendants, authors who wrote about this
subjects beginning with Tomascheck and ending with Georgiev and
Duridanov, I try to sum up as follow:

- the Albanians are linguistically maybe the lonely descendants of
the Dacians or Thracians
- the Dacian/Thracian language was a satem Language,
- the Dacian / Thracian shows the biggest similitude with Baltic
languages specially Lithuanian


Question of summing up for the actuality time of the XXI century:

- which is the similarity of Albanian language with the Baltic
languages, specially with Lithuanian? Is there any study about
the "sprachbund" of Albanian/Baltic? Is there any traceable paths for
showing that one and the same language, or the dialects of it derived
in Albanian of today and Lithuanian of today? Is there anything which
can be compared with the "common thesaurus" which is found in
Romanian and Albanian only?
