Sound laws
The model used by De Vaan (2018) divides the phonological stages of Albanian into Modern Albanian, Proto-Albanian, Pre-Proto-Albanian, and then to Proto-Indo-European. De Vaan prefers to list the sound laws of Albanian from the modern forms ascending to the proto-forms. Others, such as Orel (2000) and Matasović (2012) describe the modern phones as descending from the Proto-Indo-European ones.
