You must be related to the Illyrian humourist, J. Belushi. May you follow in his better footsteps.

Illyrians are Indo Europeans. They mingled with the Greeks and Macedonians and also fought with them. Generally mingling with Greeks leads to this. Some Illyrians used to live in Turkey, along with the Greeks, but I believe they were pushed out of there. It has been so long I can't remember. They do live in Greece, Kosovo, Macedon, and Yugoslavia. (Montenegro). Their language has some similarity to Celtic before it became Romanized 1900 years ago. Again that is really long ago, and I forget most of the words. One is Ixha! (prounounced eee-yuck-za) which means "I just stepped in a pile of it".

There are just 5,500,000 thousand Albanians in the world. This is because they have a hard time reading breeding instruction booklets passed out by the government.

Really interesting and controversial piece of mythology is that the ancient Sumerians were the Hungarians. It is known that the Hungarians and Finns migrated from southeast into Europe and their languages are related and not Indo-European, as is not Basque either. It is also known that the Sumerians migrated into the Tigris Euphrates region from the north, which is Russia, and also the ancient home of some Europoid races. (Sarmatians or Amazons, and others) There are 300 words in the Sumerian language and the Hungarian language which are identical. One of these is Oyvlalaquaska which means "pass the buttered pancakes just like you were a civilised person".

A word in Hungarian which makes me very suspicious is "Krema" (short e), which means of all things, cream. Now where do you suppose we or they got that word? There are about a dozen Sumerian words for copper minerals that we use today including Chrysocolla and Malachite.
