The Palaeo-Balkanic Indo-European branch based on the chapters "Albanian" (Hyllested & Joseph 2022) and "Armenian" (Olsen & Thorsø 2022) in Olander (ed.) The Indo-European Language Family

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.[1][2] This Indo-European subfamily encompasses the Albanoid (Illyric) subbranch (Albanian and Messapic), and the Graeco-Phrygian subbranch (Greek and Phrygian).[1][2] Within the Palaeo-Balkan branch this IE subfamily is separated from Armenian.[1][2]
