Well, the vocalic system of Alb. has all Rom. vowels + two of its own.
It happens Alb. consonant system has all Rom. consonants plus some more of
its own.

What is the matter about arrogant or ignorant here? What should speak
against a certain very close relationship here between the both phonetic
systems? From what Marius showed, nothing. So, then why finding so funny
that?

Arrogance is there where one is comparing only two points on a whole scala
and this someone alows himself to make jokes about. It should ought to be
sad of such reaction.
