[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]LIBURNIANS = ILLYRIANS[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]Corcyra [Korfu], before the Greeks took possession of it, was peopled by them. (Strab. vi. p. 269.) So was Issa and the neighbouring[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]islands. (Schol. ad Apollon. iv. 564.). They were also considerably extended to the N., for Noricum, it is evident, had been previously[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]inhabited by Liburnian tribes; for the Vindelicians were Liburnians (Serv. ad Viry. Aen. i. 243), and Strabo (iv. p. 206) makes a distinction[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]between them and the Breuni and Genauni, whom he calls Illyrians. The words of Virgil, too, seem distinctly to term the Veneti Liburnians,[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]for the innermost realm of the Liburnians must have been the goal at which Antenor is said to have arrived.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]LIBURNIANS were not [pure] ILLYRIANS[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]IDEA: By such accounts the Liburnians together with Veneti expelled from North Italy (or subjugated) the native tribes, the Euganei.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]At Ancona begins the coast of that part of Gaul known as Gallia Togata [North Italy, Po Bassin]. The Siculi [Epiro-Macedonians, also[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]Pelasgians] and the Liburni possessed the greater part of this district [since -1200, as the presence of Illyrians and Epirotes is[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]posterior to the Trojan War], and more particularly the territories of Palma, of Praetutia, and of Adria. These were expelled by the Umbri [Italics,[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]as Urnfield invader, -1000], these again by the Etrurians [around -600, the colonists will be known as Raethians], and these in their turn by the Gauls [by -400, Celtics that will be the dominant ethnic element in the Po Basin at the arrival of the Romans]. (Pliny).[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]Ptolomey in the II Century: Illyrian tribe in Albania named "Albanians".[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]IDEA: So Illyrian as say many scholars have the unique descendant left in Albanian.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]Many Illyrian names have been preserved in Albanian language: Didi=Dede, Lalus=Lala, Dassios=Dash, Bardhyllis=Bardhan, Bardhosh, etc.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]Even such names could be explained by Albanian etymology: Bardhyllis=bardhл+yllis=white star, or Bardibalus=bardi+balus=white forehead.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]The Illyrian origins of Albanian can now be proven only with the use of lexical similarities of modern Albanian words with what was found[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]of the Illyrian glossary, some Illyrian - Albanian correspondences: buris / burrл "man"; datan / datл "place"; drenis / dreni "deer";[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]pupa / pupл "hill"; rera / lera "stones".[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]Modern Albanians still use the vigesimal numeric system of ancient Illyrians.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]Arutiunov: the only remnant of Illyrian is Albanian.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]Strabo, Geography: The [Thracian] Bessi live in huts and lead a wretched life; and their country borders on Mount Rhodope, on the[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]country of the Paeonians, and on that of two Illyrian peoples-the Autariatae, and the Dardanians.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]DARDANIANS (around modern Kosovo) = ILLYRIANS[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]According to HOLLIS, the Illyrian languages include the Messapian and Venetic language.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]Strabo: "And further, the Iapodes (we now come to this mixed tribe of Illyrii and Celti) dwell round about these regions [west Slovenia];[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]and Mount Ocra is near these people. The Iapodes, then, although formerly they were well supplied with strong men and held as their[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]homeland both sides of the mountain and by their business of piracy held sway over these regions, have been vanquished and[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]completely outdone by Augustus Caesar. Their cities are: Metulum, Arupini, Monetium, and Vendo. After the Iapodes comes Segestica,[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]a city in the plain, past which flows the River Saьs [Sava], which empties into the Ister."[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]Les Alpes s'јtendent jusqu'au pays des Iapodes, nation tout а la fois celtique et illyrienne. [Strabo, Book VII, 31][/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]Les Iapodes sont јtablis prиs de l'Albie, trиs haute montagne qui se trouve а l'extrјmitј des Alpes, et vont d'un cфtј jusqu'aux Pannonies[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]et а Pister, de l'autre jusqu'а l'Adrias. ils sont tatouјs tout comme les autres Illyries et les Thraces. [Strabo, Book VII, 33][/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]IAPODES = ILLYRIAN TRIBE (but Celtized)[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]Appian, The Foreign Wars: They are called Pжones [Paeones] by the Greeks, but Pannonians by the Romans.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]Paeones: They appear neither as Macedonians, or Illyrians, but professed to be descended from the Teucri of Troy.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]Next followed the Paeonians, who occupied both banks of the Strymon, from its source down to the lake near its mouth, but were pushed[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]away from the coast towards the interior. (Strabo).[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]“But who,” he [Darius] answered, “are the Paeonians, and where do they dwell, and with what intent have you come to Sardis?[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1][in Lydia]” They told him, that they had come to be his men, that the towns of Paeonia lay on the Strymon, a river not far from the[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]Hellespont, and that they were colonists from the Teucrians of Troy. (Herodotus).[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]Appian, The Foreign Wars: "Among the many myths prevailing among many peoples this seems to me the most plausible.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]Illyrius had six sons, Encheleus, Autarieus, Dardanus, Maedus, Taulas, and Perrhaebus, also daughters, Partho, Daortho, Dassaro,[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]and others, from whom sprang the Taulantii, the Perrhaebi, the Enchelees, the Autarienses, the Dardani, the Partheni, the Dassaretii,[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]and the Darsii. Autarieus had a son Pannonius, or Paeon, and the latter had sons, Scordiscus and Triballus, from whom nations[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]of Illyria as embraced under a common designation."[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]IDEA: Such fact can be explained as that once such Great Illyria was ethnically homogeneus: it is attested that the Rhaetians crossed[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times][SIZE=-1]the Alps in classical sources, also we know that the Norics were Celtics that sprang with the Hallstadt culture, and the Mysians could[/SIZE][/FONT]
