[[File:Illyrian Tribes (English).svg|right|thumb|200px|Illyrian tribes (pre-Roman conquest).]] '''Illyria''' (Ancient Greek: Ἰλλυρία, Illyría or Ἰλλυρίς, Illyrís) was an ancient region in the western part of today's Balkan Peninsula in modern-day Epirus, [[Greece]]. The people who lived there were called Illyrians and spoke the [[Illyrian languages]]. The Illyrians settled in the Balkans approximately around 2500 BC along with other Indo Europeans. The [[Illyrians]] became heavily romanised and a portion of them evolved into modern Albanians. ==Gallery== <gallery> File:Illyrii Proprie Dicti aka Illyrians Proper aka Docleatae.svg File:Illyria and Dardania Kingdoms.png File:Map of the Kingdom of Agron of the Ardiaei (English).png File:KingdomofTeuta.png File:228-220BC-DemetriusofPharos.png </gallery> == Other websites == * [http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=41.483891,20.786133&spn=1.982043,3.522491&t=k Illyria region in google map] [[Category:History of Greece]] {{Multistub|history|Europe}}
