Some linguists consider it the descendant of Illyrian but that is yet to be proven due to the scarce knowledge of Illyrian. 


Others connect it to Dacian and Thracian and some classify it under an Illyrian-Thracian branch. 


It is spoken mainly in Albania, Kosovo,North Macedonia, neighbouring countries and around the world by about 8 million people.


Albanian is in fact a group of sister dialects the most important of them Tosk and Gheg.

There differences between them are in the vocabulary,grammar and phonology.
