According to the central hypothesis of a project undertaken by the Austrian Science Fund FWF, Old Albanian had a significant influence on the development of many Balkan languages. Department of Linguistics at the University of Vienna aims to prove that Albanian was a major influence on the other Balkan languages. Linguist Dr. Stefan Schumacher & Dr. Joachim Matzinger are following various leads which suggest that Albanian played a key role in the Balkan Sprachbund and is the source of the suffixed definite article in Romanian, Bulgarian and Macedonian, as this has been a feature of Albanian since ancient times.
