______________ AAdmin: I reduced the side of that huge and over sized map and eliminated unneeded sections that do not pertain to the map.

On the map it says Helleno-Illyric (Greeks-Albanians). Considering that the two are mutually genetically most related the relation is not hard to grasp (not to mention ancient southern Illyrians being fully Hellenic in cultural terms) and even culturally at least one large segment of albanian nation (Tosks, possibly albanized Epirotics) is very culturally (and racially) akin to Epirotic Greeks.
Map is from 1910 when Turks still controlled sections of central Balkans and I am not sure do they include some Serbs in the Illyrian group (I doubt it as it is linguistic in nature) or rather Albanians that might have lived in these regions. Map also shows point of contact between Albanians and Romanians. Section of the map called 'Servians-Bulgarians' would have noticeable groups of Serbs in the western sections of that area.
Armenians were groups with Iranians (whith whom they are culturally similar and even somewhat racially) and were viewed by earlier linguists as branch of Iranians. Germanic, Romanic and Celtic groups are correct as are Slavic, Ugro-Finnic, Arab and Turkic ones.

Yes, it seems that way
But I would say the Vlach element being the center buffer for both groups.
