But Turkish has developed from Arabic or was on it's own group?
I am telling you, these posts by Aiolos were the best I had seen in months.

Turkish isnt related with Arabic. Arabic is Semitic, Turkish is Ural-Altaic. But Ottoman governmental Turkish was heavily influenced with Arabic vocabulary.

Indeed, as it can be seen in the language thread, most mediterranean
civilisations have exchanged linguistic wealth at some point in history.

Albanians have nothing in common with the Albanians from Caucasus? So it's a simple coincidence that Albanians are first time mentioned in Balkans in the 11th century when the Albanians from Caucasus came to Balkans?

That's a Serbian-nationalist theory that doesn't seem to have much
ground, does it? How do you know that the "Albanians" from Caucasus
came to the Balcans at all. I thought that was just a name used in
ancient times for Azerbaijan, the same that Georgia was called Iberia
(nothing to do with Iberians from Spain). Britain in general and
Scotland in particular were also called Alba and Albion at times.
Besides, Albanians called themselves Shqiperi or something like that.

I only write what I have read from history books. Albanians came to Balkans in 1043 or something after they have gone to Italy from Caucasus. So, what happened after that? They disappearred and another nation with this name emerged at the same time? Why is this just a Serbian-nationalist theory? And what's the truth? That Albanians are the ancient Illyrians? It's broadly known that the Albanian language doesn't have any special relationship with the language of Illyrians. Maybe the truth is somewhere between these two theories.

The Illyrian=Albanian connection is a very nice fairy tale if you don't look into the details. If you do, the truth unveils and you find yourself with a very empty shell of an hypothesis.
The fact that the Illyrian remnants contributed to the Albanian gene pool is undeniable - as it contributed to the gene pools of Serbia, Bosnia,Greece, possibly Bulgaria, and the surroundings.
But to draw a direct line from Albanians back to Illyrians is ridiculous. It is a nice fabrication though and was useful to those who have come up with it (surprisingly, not the Shqiperii themselves, they just used the framework others created for their own purposes).
To the subject of the topic (although not much has been discussed about it):
There is a rather huge case of intermixture here. The Alvanites or Arvanites are a substantial part of the Greek gene pool (no matter what purists say). Whole areas (Zagorohoria, Elefsina and several villages in Peloponesus and Epirus) and Islands (Hydra, Spetses) had a predominately Arvanitic population to begin with and several very known heroes of the Greek war of independance are Arvanites. Hope I haven't annoyed the purists too much

Arvanites were not Albanians, well not 'pure' at least..
They were a mixture of Albanians and local Hellines, Hellines that had
been in the area (Epiros) since the time of King Pyrros... From the
ancient district of Arvonos as recorded in the Alexiad book 4 by Anna
Komnene..
It becomes even more clear that these two people are totally different
while reading the letter of Jacomo Barbarrigo towards the Germans in
1479 where he stated:
"The Arvanites and the Hellines are nothing more than the same people that hate every foreigner"
or the Venetian Senate's declaration in 1471 :
"The major part of our mercenary troops are Hellines and Arvanites Hellines"
Mazaris in his 'Epidhmia Mazari en Adou' while describing the
population of Peloponnesos describes Arvanites and Albanians as two
separate people, obviously because he saw the difference before the
fairy tale similar to the one you mention above was constructed..
While we must accept that there was an Albanian population in Hellas
as various toponyms like Spata, Liosia, Lala in
Peloponnesos...etc (from the homonymus tribes).. disclose..
Note that, Florentine Dukes Nerios I and Antonio I brought in approx. 5000 to work
in the fields of Athens, which is how the areas got the names.
Later during J.Katakouzinos' reign approx. some 10.000 were 'invited' and another 10.000 during the reign of T. Palaiologos A'..
There are always a couple of misconceptons based on the well organized
propaganda, for example: the place-name Koropi, that is nothing more
than pure Albanian propaganda which actually smears the good name of a
real Hellinic patriot. That of DHMHTRHS KOROPHS killed in the battle of
Marathon in 1824.
The name is nothing more than an intentional corruption of the ancient name KRWPIAS in honor of the dead hero...
The ancient name is seen in Thucydides, The Peloponnesian War book 2 . 19,2
"and putting to flight some Athenian horse at a place called Rheiti, or
the Brooks, they then advanced, keeping Mount Aegaleus on their right,
through Kropia, until they reached Acharnae, the largest of the Athenian demes or townships."
While the Arvanites undoubtably did, the Albanians under no condition did assist us in our war of independance.
On the contrary they only acted in their own personal interest as seen
in the event of siding with Manuel Komnenos to take over Mani and
overthrow the Paleologos (after asking for the district of Korinth)
only to be slaughtered by Tourahan when he returned, for their rebelion
against the empire.
Or the Lala and Mpardouniotes situated in Peloponnesos by the Ottomans
to assist in their attacks on Mani.. one of them being the massacre of
Koroni that lead to the capture of Mauromixalis...
These were the same clans that terrorized the entire peninsula as seen
recorded in Kolokotronis' and Mauromichalis' memoirs, Finley, Castelan,
Segios Makraios, Sathas, Tsigos, Berar...etc
And before someone dares to make claims on Marko Botsari :
"Here, secluded from the rest of the world, and before the Ottoman arms or the plundering Albanians invaded their peace,
the family of the Bozzari ruled supreme, and Marco, tending his
father's flocks, conceived those ideas of military glory which were
afterwards developed in combating for the liberties of Greece."

I wasn't suggesting that Arvanites are ethnic Albanians or ever were.
But they, as you say too, are considered an early intermixture of
hellenic and albanian and possibly other elements, to create a distinct
group, a group that throughout its history considered to be part of the
Greek nation and not of the Albanian.
Hence the fact they were separated early from the main body of the Albanians and were recorded independently.
But the fact that they have Albanian (whatever that means) blood as
well, is why I mentioned them in a topic that deals with the connection
between Albanian and Hellenes.
