The Illyrians were an Indo-European people, who inhabited the western Balkans up into Pannonia in ancient times. They spoke languages grouped in the Illyrian languages, a separate branch of Indo-European.

Whether the Albanian language descends from an Illyrian language is disputed among scholars (see Origin of Albanians).
