Are the Albanians descendents of Roma/Gypsies?
Zelhar:
I think the term should be, if it should Caucasus related at all, "Caucasoid". So that the term caucausian will only be used for what it's supposed to mean- a person from the Caucasus.
Eden Ben Yitzchak:
Are all white people originally from the Caucasus? Why do we call a white person Caucasian?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucasian_race
The concept of a Caucasian race or Varietas Caucasia was developed around 1800 by Johann Friedrich Blumenbach, a German scientist and classical anthropologist.[4] Blumenbach named it after the Caucasian peoples (from the Northern Caucasus region), whom he considered to be the archetype for the grouping.[5] He based his classification of the Caucasian race primarily on craniology.[6] Blumenbach wrote:
"Caucasian variety - I have taken the name of this variety from Mount Caucasus, both because its neighborhood, and especially its southern slope, produces the most beautiful race of men, I mean the Georgian; and because all physiological reasons converge to this, that in that region, if anywhere, it seems we ought with the greatest probability to place the autochthones (birth place) of mankind."[7]
--------------------------------
So, you see, it is most common in Germanic nations. In Serbia this term is never used for defining major groups("races") of people.
When we say on this Forum that Albanians are Caucasians we are referring to their geographical origin - Caucasus Mountains area, near Black Sea.

I agree on that one.

80% > of albanians have serbian origin, others Albanians have Asian origins. The area in which lived Albanian "natives" ("Asian" Albanians who migrated to the Balkans) is southern Albania, south of the river Shkumbin.

But on the whole territory of Albania can be found the remains of Orthodox churches, some Greek (Byzantine) but mostly Serbian.
"Albanian language has two dialects: Gheg dialect, north of the Shkumbin, and the dialect of Tosk south of the river. Tosk dialect is the official language of Albania. In Kosovo and Metohija is up to in 1972., As a literary Albanian Gheg dialect used. It printed books, newspapers, taught officially in school. That year was a meeting in Pristina Albanian linguists from Albania and Kosovo, where it was agreed that the Albanian literary language unifies. Since then, Kosovo and Metohija, the official and literary language, a dialect of Tosk as in Albania."
Actually, these are two different languages and two different people they barely understood among themselves! Northern - Ghеgs (Albanianaised Serbs, mostly) and the South - Tosks (native Albanians, mostly). Ghegs (Malisors) themselves have never called Albanians than Shqiptars (highlanders). Gheg language is full of Serbian, Italian, Greek, Roman and Turkish words. The letter was Cyrillic!
Albanian language is first mentioned in historical documents on July 14, 1285 in Dubrovnik. The letters of the Albanian language and writing standards were adopted in 1908. Was. Selected the Latin letters rather than the old Turkish language that was another alternative. This was done by the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Vatican, which aimed to create the Albanian people and the nation more than it is, and then create a state of Albania in order to weaken Serbia by territorial, ethnic and strategic (preventing or reduce her to the Adriatic Sea ).
Albanians were Orthodox Christians, and when they reached the Turks converted to Islam, under Vatican and the Austro-Hungarian influence lot of them have become Catholics, and that trend continues today, especially among Kosovo Albanians.
