Proto-Albanian language

The Proto-Albanian language is the unattested language from which the Albanian language later developed. Albanian is considered to have evolved from an ancient Paleo-Balkan language, usually taken to be Illyrian.

History

Vladimir Orel is one of the main modern international linguists to have dealt with the passage from Proto-Indo-European to Proto-Albanian to modern Albanian. According to Orel the study of Proto-Albanian syntax remains in its infancy hence there are some limitations to the work, however there have been developments in the understanding of the historical development of phonetics and vocabulary.^[1]
