Their stories and myths were typically inscribed on runestones or transmitted orally by skalds. [1][2][3], Illyrian is a group of reputedly Indo-European languages whose relationship to other Indo-European languages as well as to the languages of the Paleo-Balkan group, many of which might be offshoots of Illyrian, is poorly understood due to the paucity of data and is still being examined.
