The
earliest settlers of Albania
The question of the origin of the Albanians is still
a matter of controversy among the ethnologists. A great
many theories have been propounded in solution of the
problem relative to the place from which the original
settlers of Albania proceeded to their present home.
The existence of another Albania in the Caucasus, the
mystery in which the derivation of the name "Albania"
is enshrouded, and which name, on the other hand, is
unknown to her people, and the fact that history and
legend afford no record of the arrival of the Albanians
in the Balkan Peninsula, have rendered the question
of their origin a particularly difficult one.
