Holy moly,
this is awesome. As albanian myself, I hate seeing when other albanians make hideous propaganda video claims of people groups they dont belong to(like macedonians, etc.) or say „these guys were illyrians/albanians!(like alexander the great)“ or defend their stupid claims with thinks like „Look, that spells out in albanian(as it always does *rolling eyes*) and it means this and this bullcrap, so they must be our ancestors then!“.
Jeez, its just cringe.

You on the other hand, did an great and informative video and I‘d like to thank you for that. Keep going!

Ylli, Elli, Illi... in Albanian means star, or just Sun.

This is well documented and widely used in the Mediterranean. God’s name is El... or Elohim (in Arabic Al-lah).

All the angels of God are called Emanu-El/il, Rapha-El, Micha-El/il, Gabri-El, etc.... all cestial entities.

Cielo in Italian and Qiell in Albanian.
Qi or Ky means and Qi-Ell is the fabric of the stars.
Qi is also the root word for Chemistry/Kymia (union/fusion). In actual Albania, the word for intercourse is “qi”... pardon the banality, but it goes to show you that Albanian culture is a hidden treasure that only a dozen people really know. Other concepts are Qi/e-ndis, Qi/e-ri, Qe-p.. which is the root meaning of the word altogether.

In previous Albanian works, Ylli was written as Hylli. There was also a newspaper called Hylli i Dritës, Star of Light. Therefore the use of the H is fully documented and it’s recent enough.

Hylli and Heli (os) both mean the same thing. The Sun. Alexander’s emblem was the Sun.

Ylliria can’t possibly mean New Star... does Shqipëria mean the New Intelligibles/Eagles? Nope.

Does Vegeta-ri-an mean New Vegetables? Lol

Shqipëria is in Tosk dialect, Shqypënia is in Ghegh dialect. Yllir is Tosk, and Ellin (Hellene) is Ghegh... two dialects describing the same people.

[historyrhymes]

Awesome and very informative with all the states. One qestion, weren't those "kingdoms" more of a tribal unions rather than states?

[kajolligames]

for those who do not know the meaning of Illyria:

Illyria : Ylli i Ri. (The new Star).

The only meaning of the name is this not Iliria that mean freedom.
It can only be translated in Albanian langue and the meaning only in Albanian langue. No greek or slav can now the meaning of that, thats why they belong to Albanians. Only we know the meaning of our story.

[mkb]

Paeonia and Dardania, the real names of the region.

[One-IronOX]

dardania - proto albanian darda/darde(pear) = land of pears (albanian - dardhë/dardha)

ardiae -proto albanian ardie/ardia(future)=land of the future (albanian - ardhije/ardhija)

dalmatae- proto alb. dalme/delma = land of the sheep/shepherds (albanian delmë/dalma)

bardylis- proto alb. bardyli = white star (albanin bardhylli)

the list goes on and on...

Historicly, according to the written Greek and Roman sources, true Illyrians (Illyri propriae dicti) were only those living in area of todays Montenegro/Crna Gora (Boka kotorska bay) and around Scodra (today Skadar), what was the center of their state. The northern border of Illyrian aliance in cca. 228 BC was to the river Neretva in north and to the south only one part of northern Albania. These are historical facts from written, both Greek and Roman sources. Around river Neretva inhabited people Daorsi, a separate nation. To the north from Neretva was area of Delmatae or Dalmatae, especially between rivers Cetina and Krka (this is today central Dalmatia in Croatia, area around city Split; in ancient times, after Roman conquest, the largest city was Salonae /on location of todays town Solin near Split/. Today, history and archeology, can not give the answer which language Dalmate spoke and was it related to the language of "Illyri propriae dicti" or not. We have to be honest in scientific manner and say that WE DON'T KNOW. Connecting the Albanian word for sheep, as you say Delme, with the national name of people Delmate or Dalmate, is purely speculation, without any evidence. Further more, the capital town of Delmate was Delminium, todays Duvno/Tomislavgrad in part of Herzegovina where today are living the Croats. Pannonians were living between rivers Drava and Sava, what is today northern Croatia (rivers had the these same names in Roman times, as we can see from Roman writers, example: Historia Romana by Paterculus, as they have today). For Pannonians, history as a science, also does not have answer about their language conection. Some researchers have proposed that the language of Pannonian people could maybe be some proto-Slavic language. Why? There is only few words in epistolae by saint Hieronymus (4 century AD); namely, Hieronymus was born somewhere in border area between provinces Pannonia and Dalmatia and he wrote words as: zhiton (name for the beer in his language) and this is similar to word "žito" in Slavic languages, because the beer is produced from a type of žito. Also, it was found a stone inscription (stela) which mentions god "deo Dobrovit", and Dobrovit is clearly Slavic name, meaning "dobro-" = good. Also, inscription from island Brač in Dalmatia mentions name: "Veselia Felicitas", and Felicitas is connected to Latin word "felix" (happy, merry) and "veselia" is surprisingly derivation from Slavic word "vesela" =joyful, merry, happy ... Because of these, some researchers think about possibility that in Pannonia and maybe in Dalmatia was spoken some proto-Slavic language, but this is not accepted in historical studies ...

Southern Albania always Greek since antiquity

Albanians are not offsprings of illyrians

[Macz]

WHAT IS GOING TO FOLLOW RIGHT HERE, IS THE ONLY TRUTH :
If we look to old illyrians words, we can fin a lot of word who are still used by albanians. For example Sica who means Knife/sword is actually Thika in albanian language, we have also Dash, Andena/Andes/Andio/Antis = Andë/ëndë, aran = ara (fields), Bindo/Bindus = bindë (to convince), bilia = bija/bijë (daughter), diali/bil = djalë/birë (son), Can (who is pronounced like Tsan) = Qen, mal = mal (mountain, forest), drakoina = dark / drekë (supper), ulc from ulcinium = ujk / ulk (wolf) and it is also a city of Montenegro, Ulcinj. Vendum = vend (place). bosona / bosna = dë-boj (to chase, to drive away) bosna river with running water. Zanatis = Zanati (habit) I can continue for a long time, ILLYRIAN ARE FATHERS OF ALBANIANS


Add to that Agron the King and Teuta the Queen of Ardians Kingdom. Agron is an albanian popular name and teuta (who means probably People/All) is too. Ardians is probably from Ar Dian who means Gold Knowledge or Ardhie/Ardhje who means Arrival/Descent. Dardanian from Dard / Who is actually Dardh in Albanian language, who means pear / pear tree. Dalmatians from Dalma /Delme/Dele who means goats or sheep ! Illyrians are actual albanians, and a smaller part of them are bosnian and croatian, who are slavicized illyrian !
