Re: [tied] Genetic Link between Albanian and Romanian

Hello Miguel,
<< Well, as Alexandru said, "the real check would be to compare the
early proto-romanian phonetic system with early proto-albanian
phonetic system...". In which case, if we go back far enough, the
Romanian system falls together with the Italian one, and the Albanian
one is quite different.>>

Without any joke here, if you really want to participate to this
investigation please do it (you are BETTER PLACED that I am TO DO it)
But please take each sound one by one, each phonetical rule one by
one...and don't start with the conclusion :
" ...if we go back far enough, the Romanian system falls together
with the Italian one, and the Albanian one is quite different".

Best Regards,
marius alexandru

P.S. For instance the first step 3 /dz/ is rather related to the
Albanians than to Italians (Latins)...
