But Pannonia (if by that you mean the Pannonian Plain) is a huge area: To say it had Illyrian tribes in 1400 BC (such as in Belotić and Bela Crkva)does not mean all of it had them but only in its far southern portion, and to the south there were also Illyrian settlements (such as Pod) in the more mountainous areas. In contrast, the northern portion of Pannonia (such as Viena) was inhabited by the Tumulus Culture, usually thought to be pre-Proto-Celtic.
I refer to Northern pannonia near the Colapis valley . there where Illyrian tribe like the Colapiani who lived east of the venetic ( linguitic) Catari tribe . There is also the illyrian Azali and Breuci tribes and below them the Japodes tribe. Then there is also the Scordisci who strabo says they are celtic , but appian includes them as Illyrian
PANNONIA, in ancient geography a country bounded north and east by the Danube, conterminous westward with Noricum and upper Italy, and southward with Dalmatia and upper Moesia. It thus corresponds to the south-western part of Hungary, with portions of lower Austria, Styria, Carniola, Croatia, and Slavonia. Its original inhabitants (Pannonii, sometimes called Paeonii by the Greeks) were of Illyrian race.
