Sardinians, Basque (perhaps), Albanian and Greeks Albanian are a mix or Yammaya, Corded Ware cultures, and the hypothetical Pellasgian people/culture Greeks are in the same spot. They are called paleo-ballkanik population for a reason. (Fun fact, 23andme has hard time distinguishing the people genetically between Albanians and Greeks and are lumped in the same spot) Some of the remains that were found and dated to 5800bc, have genetic markers similar to today’s inhabitants/Albanians. Which means there was intermingling/mixing of the Indo-European commers with the original cultures who are supposed to have had darker tone skin and blue eyes There are antic accounts of an earlier culture in the are called Pellasgians, and there are some city names that still have survived to this day (eg Larissa in Greece, and Lezha in Albanian). This is all pre 1500b.c. and is still hypothetical as archeological findings have not found populations that were genetically different up to 5,800b.c As for the actual culture and language, that’s a different story. There are many cases where local people adopt a language or culture of a conquering class, (most Latin speaking countries), or vice versa (Bulgarians) But from genetics alone, Sardinians seem to be the European population closest to the earliest farmers
