Albanians are Europe's oldest race; they've changed least & kept the most ancient traditions. In Upper Albania, tribe heads are veritable Homeric kings (the basileis of the Iliad). Old men dispense justice, seated in a circle on stones, like those on Achilles' shield.

The Arnauts love hunting on horseback; their bravery consists in cruelty to man and beast.

"The Albanians are members of the tall, round headed Dinaric race and have distant relationship with the Nordics"

[Dardanius @accursedardan]

The Albanian or Dinaric type wasn't (so far as we know) in ancient Greece, though some modern archæologists suggest Spartans were of this type. Dorian dialects are also said to be closer to modern Albanian, derived from ancient Illyrian.

To General Commander Lanz. To the people of Chamuria, I extend my best wishes and ask you to treat the Chamurian fighters as you would treat your own children. The President of the Council of Alb, von Tschamuri, to Mazhar Dino.

The 1614 Interbalkan Assembly in Kuç marked a pivotal historical moment. Documented records show that 135 years of Albanian resistance played a crucial role in shaping early plans for both regional unity and European collaboration.

@standonbu5ine55 @wasd_1444 @guenondosed @EdinRamicCc1 @HitlerRapist48 It’s a sin in Islam to pretend another man is your paternal ancestor. Is that why you’re so adamant on them not being Albanian, you don’t want to go to hell? Do you have fantasies in your head imagining life if you were I2a-Din?

@wolfvillage84 Elhamdulilah.

"Ali Pash Tepelena is an Albanian, son of Veli Pasha, who ruled part of Albania: although a Muslim, he understands little Turkish and speaks only Greek and Albanian"

@wolfvillage84 Your Orthodox breatheren won't like this.😂

[Dardanius @accursedardan]

The Himariotes are described as "Arnaut, or Albanians (Shqiptar), or Epirotes," highlighting their identification as both Albanians and Epirotes.

[Dardanius @accursedardan]

@wolfvillage84 Ah yes, because the Epirotes were Serbs.

Copperplate etching of Kelmendi in Syrmia by Jacob Adam (1748-1811). It is possibly the first depiction of the Kelmendi fis.

A document from 1805 recorded the lord’s prayer in different languages, amongst others, from Greco-Siculo, Greco-Calabrese (Arbërisht) and Epirotice communities are perfectly translated in Albanian.

The Messapic, Albanian's closest recorded language, links its settlement in Apulia to migrations from the east Adriatic during the post-Cetina phase. Cetina culture developed along the east Adriatic coastline from Dalmatia to Albania and further south in the EBA-MBA.
