It is possible that Illyrian, Dacian and Thracian were three dialects of the same language, according to Rădulescu.{{sfn|Rădulescu|1984|p=85}} Georgiev (1966), however, considers Illyrian a language closely related to [[Venetic language|Venetic]] and Phrygian but with a certain Daco-Moesian admixture.{{sfn|Poultney|1968|p=339}} Venetic and Phrygian are considered centum languages, and this may mean that Georgiev, like many other paleolinguists, viewed Illyrian as probably being a centum language{{citation needed|date=September 2011}} with Daco-Moesian admixture. Georgiev proposed that Albanian, a [[Centum-satem isogloss|satemised]] language, developed from Daco-Moesian, a satemised language group, and not from Illyrian. But lack of evidence prevents any firm centum/satem classification for these ancient languages. Renfrew argues that the centum/satem classification is irrelevant in determining relationships between languages. This is because a language may contain both satem and centum features and these, and the balance between them, may change over time.{{sfn|Renfrew|1990|p=190}}
