Illyria ( Anc. Gk. Ιλλυρια; also Illyris, Illyrikon, Latin Illyricum) was in Classical antiquity a kingdom in the western part of today's Balkan Peninsula, founded by the tribes and clans of Illyrians, an ancient people who spoke an Indo-European language (the Illyrian languages). The delineation of ancient Illyria can pose a problem to historians, since before the Roman conquest the Illyrians were not unified into an Illyrian kingdom, and Illyria's borders before Rome are not always clear. For example, the Dalmatae, though classed as an Illyrian tribe by language, were only subject to the kingdom of Illyria for a short time and soon defected during the reign of King Gentius. ...more on Wikipedia about "Illyria"

Illyrians has come to refer to a broad, ill-defined group of peoples who inhabited the western Balkans (from northern Epirus to southern Pannonia) and even perhaps parts of Southern Italy in Classical times into the Common era. It is, however, unclear whether in reality there was such a broad group that identified as Illyrians, and some argue that the ethnonym Illyrioi came to be applied to this large group of tribes by the ancient Greeks, Illyrioi having perhaps originally designated only a single tribe that came to be widely known to the Greeks due to proximity. ...more on Wikipedia about "Illyrians"

Zacharie or Zecharia Mayani ( 1899 - ) is a French author who has put forth a thesis according to which Albanian had ancient pre-Indo-European connections with the Etruscan language in The Etruscans Begin to Speak (1961, translated by Patrick Evans 1962). Mayani's thesis, relying chiefly on Albanian, claimed to have established some of the grammar, and enlarged the known vocabulary, of ancient Etruscan, taking as his starting-point that Etruscan was based on Illyrian, and that an Illyrian core survives in modern Albanian, quite apart from Albanian's borrowings from Latin and modern languages. According to Mayani, Etruscan has features linking it with the inscriptions on the island of Lemnos in the Aegean, with Lydia, Lycia, Phoenicia, and with Ancient Egypt. In many instances the words involved have a religious significance. ...more on Wikipedia about "Zacharie Mayani"
