The diagram is not only interesting to study, but it was also looks nice.

Though no diagram is going to please everyone, it has far more detail and includes far more languages than the tree posted. And, yes…. it includes both Gheg and Tosk dialects of Albanian.

Of course we don’t have pizza, or focaccia, but we are talking about languages… not food :P

Puts Albanian on a different branch to Armenian and Greek. Connects it more to Persian and Indian languages. However there are several other connections in their tree I have difficulty accepting and I think you’re probably correct Kambiz.

This tree was made in the 1990′s, and while Albanian was determined to be an Indo-European language in the 1854, it seems like it wasn’t considered when making this tree. I did write in the original post that, “many languages are left out.” It should fall somewhere between the Armenian and Greek branches.
