Julius Pokorny (June 12, 1887 – April 8, 1970) was an Austrian linguist and scholar of the Celtic languages, particularly Irish, and a supporter of Irish nationalism. He held academic posts in Austrian and German universities.
He was the editor of the important journal of philological studies Zeitschrift für celtische Philologie from 1921 until forced out by the Nazis in 1939, and was responsible for reviving it in 1954. He continued to edit it until his death in 1970. He is the author of the Indogermanisches etymologisches Wörterbuch (Indo-European Etymological Dictionary; 1959) which is still widely used today. He also published several collections of Irish writing in German translation, and a thoroughly pro-nationalist history of Ireland in 1916, which appeared in English translation in 1933.
Pokorny was a dedicated supporter of the Pan-Illyrian theory and located the Illyrian civilization's Urheimat between the Weser and the Vistula and east from that region where migration began around 2400 BC. Pokorny suggested that Illyrian elements were to be found in much of continental Europe and also in Britain and Ireland. His Illyromania derived in part from archaeological Germanomania and was supported by contemporary place-names specialists such as Max Vasmer (1928, 1929)[5] and Hans Krahe (1929, 1935, 1940).(Burimi Wiki.)

Sigurisht qe sot triumfon "Helenomania" dhe "Romanomania" apo deri diku "Anglomania", por zoterinje gjuhetare dhe historiane; nuk jeni pergjigjur ende pyetjes: "KU SHKUAN GREKET E LASHTE ME GJITHE ATIKISHTEN E TYRE!?"-"KU SHKUAN ROMAKET E LASHTE ME GJITHE LATINISHTEN E TYRE?!
Sigurisht qe helenomania dhe romanomania do triumfonte me ne fund, per te vetmin fakt se gjuhet artificiale (me popujt qe nuk i kuptonin keto gjuhe) sipas jush linden perpara se popujt te flisnin sillabat apo rrokjet e para te fjaleve, sigurisht, sepse sipas jush, ne fillim nis gjuha e shkruar dhe me mbas ajo e folur!
Ne se Pokorny ishte Iliroman dhe me ndjenja Iliromanie, juve jeni helenoman dhe filohelene, por me nje ndryshim te madh, qe ju etnine greke asnjehere nuk do keni mundesi te na e sillni me çka perberje, apo etnikisht dhe gjuhesisht çka flisnin. Pra, helenizmi juaj eshte artificial, sikurse vendosja qe iu be ne piedestal ketij filohelenizmi,prej disa romantikeve perendimor!
