I have no idea where you see politics in Nessari's post. Frankly, I'm baffled.

Another from R. Rusanov:

I don't know any Greek so I'm not sure. There are obvious loans such as μπύρα [ˈbira] “beer”, there are some shortenings such as Ντίνα [ˈdina] (a shortened form of Κωνσταντίνα “Constantina”, but there are probably native Greek words which begin with any of /mp/, /nt/ or /nk/.

The weird thing is that Proto-Albanian can be reconstructed as a fairly sane, unexceptional IE language. It just got batshit crazy after contact with the Romans. Now this is weird. On a somewhat related note, both Greek and Albanian permit nasal-unvoiced stop onsets such as /mp/ and /nt/ even thoug...

True, but that doesn't mean they are unattested and if you read through all the sound changes Adjective Recoil provided, you could've seen that he got rid of them.

Gah, this results from careless copy-pasting.

• [ɲ] → [j] → [ð̞] is what actually happens.

Are the following four sound changes plausible? If not already obvious enough, they're ordered chronologically.

1. [mʲ] [pʲ] [β̞ʲ] → [ɲ] [c] [j]
2. [ɲ] → [j]
3. [c] → [cç]
4. [ɲ] [cç] [ç]¹ [j] → [n] [ts] [s] [ð̞]

¹ Already existing before the palatalisation.

Is unconditional [l] → [j] possible?

What about giving us a new word list?
