The whole information on this page seems to me very unreliable if not fake. Such long existence of a relict Indo-European language in Europe would be a scientific sensation; however, this language actually "exists" only in Wikipedia and its clones (and probably in the book written by Messrs. Yoshamya, which I have never seen). Isn't it strange? --Dmitri Lytov 14:56, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
Indeed, most of the more fantastical-sounding stuff comes from a single banned user named "Winona Gone Shopping." This looks like a pretty clear hoax. algormortis 17:30, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

- I am finding other references to Liburnian, such as this listing, so it seems to be at least a hypothetical ancient language. Marco polo 02:54, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
