Graeco-Albanian

Graeco-Albanian or Albano-Greek is a proposed Indo-European subfamily – in the broader linguistic family known as (Palaeo-)Balkanic Indo-European – of which the only surviving representatives are Albanian and Greek. This Indo-European subfamily encompasses the Albanoid (Illyric) subbranch (Albanian and Messapic), and the Graeco-Phrygian subbranch (Greek and Phrygian). Within the Palaeo-Balkan branch this IE subfamily is separated from Armenian.
