Berbers and Albanians, E haplogroup and linguistic similarity

[iapetoc]

how yes no
that I2 probably has to do went vandals invade tynisia, the sarasenes etc

 

[Garrick]

ok, regarding the theme, I think you are somewhat on wrong clue....
Albanians are cluster with Serb/Croats/central Ukraine Romania/east and west Hungary (thus Hungary before Magyars arrived), and only together they cluster with Berbers... this indicates that not only Albanians but Serbs as well are related to Berbers

language of Berbers might have been heavily influenced by I2a1 that might have been same ancient old proto-Serb related tribes who settled Sardinia.. so, you would do better if you focus on words shared between Serbian and Berber language...though once you find them you will not be sure whether they are due to I2a1 or due to haplogroup E (as this one is in Serbs up to 20%)

look at Berber people in northwest Africa



and compare to this map of I2a (area in north Africa is I2a1)



I2a1 does correlate with Berbers fairly well.... note that map might be somewhat ad-hoc regarding north Africa as there is probably no precise data for vast areas...


as for Lybia, if it is related to Lydia, this is again potential issue with I2a as Lydia was largely matching I2a spread.... I am not sure but I think split between I2a1 and I2a2 is closer in time than E-V13 i E haplogroups of northwest Africa...I do wonder about genetics of Berber speaking Siwi people (see map above)

How yes no
Interesting observation, and there can be many attempts to point to a connection.

However, in Africa, Slavic languages, including Serbian, are totally foreign, it means no indications of anything in the African languages have found which would have some connection with the Slavic. Simply the connection African languages with Slavic does not exist.

Of course the other thing is the question the theory that there was once I language, which is logical because I was one clan. But as the Serbs used to speak some of today's Slavic languages the old I language spoken by Serbs was replaced.

I have reviewed dozens of Afrasian languages, mostly Berbers and Cushitic languages and also watched some Nilo Saharan languages, and the words similar (or same) as Albanian found everywhere, in everyone of them, and in Nubian (Nilo Saharan), but with current knowledge, I might have the most researched Cushitic languages, but researchers should explore other languages to reach the right conclusions

What is the problem? These northern Cushitic languages are generally not maintained, if they existed. There are northern Cushitic languages in Egypt but they are not standardized and I can not find a valid sources. One interesting language, Blin people in Eritrea (Cushitic but no Nothern Cushitic), has for example, on a small sample that I saw words similar with the Albanian. But still I would like to see some north Cushitic languages, so that I could draw some firmer conclusions. Otherwise so far I could put hundreds of words from Afrasian and NiloSaharan language similar Albanian.

What is interesting. Many Afrasian languages, no matter how are far, have the words that are similar, and these words are also similar with the appropriate Albanian words, and it is unlikely that the roots of words as long survive despite all the changes, distance, other cultures have since received and so on. Africa is a miracle. Lots of interesting. It is a completely different world and way of thinking in relation to Europe. I was never in Africa and here now I got the desire to sometimes go.

Iapetoc clarified and addressed a lot of issues. Just amazing when he discovered that the root meaning of Shqiptar can be the Egyptian, congratulations on analytics. Albanians are the most likely roots in Upper Egypt, and it is iteresting for them to go there to see what cultures were once from which they originated. In more Cushitic language word or Il, Ili or similar means eye. It is very possible that Illyrian comes from the Cushitic word that would be a strong argument about possible connection between Albanians and Kushites.

So I can say reviewing dozens of African languages, and some Afrasian Nilo-Saharan that Albanian has similar or the same words from those languages. Slavic languages have a totally different way of thinking and logic and words from a root word compared to African languages. Thus there is no connection between Berbers and Slavic languages, including Serbian.

i said i don't see the eye,

propably illy has to do with the greek Ell -Ill

El-las means the stones of Ell
Ill-yri I dont know,
but i believe that Ell and Ill means the same,

that is why i believe that E came at 3500 BC or you sugeest 2700 BC
Ell and Ill has to do with middle east i quess
the Ell is something even today searchers try to find what means,
and the only explanation comes from syria, EL means the high, the top of the mountain, and the jews, El Santai powerfull god
El Ellion the high god, the top god
El-las means the gods of the stones (or the stones of the gods) or the people who live on the top of the rocks
I believe Ill means the same

 

[how yes no 2]

how yes no
that I2 probably has to do went vandals invade tynisia, the sarasenes etc

that is what I used to think as well
(http://www.eupedia.com/forum/showthread.php?p=361305#post361305)
but than I heard some arguments that it is much earlier spread...issue that I2a1 it is not found at all in areas of east Germany and Poland (where Vandals approximately lived) makes origin of Vandals very questionable....
another argument that got me was that I couldnot see correlation between spread of Vandals and map showing I2a (which is I2a1 in Iberia) hotspots in Iberia
http://www.eupedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25689
third argument that convinced me was that name of Sardinia fits very well in what I see as haplogroup I tribal name pattern (Swedes, Suebi, Serbs, Sarbans (Pashtun people with haplogroup I), Sardinians...)

There are plenty of things that link.The eye and Horus are linked and this is something that is useful to know.

We can read:

www.buzzle.com/articles/egyptian-eye-of-horus-meaning.html
http://www.buzzle.com/articles/egyptian-god-horus.html

Wedjat or the 'eye of Horus' is an Egyptian symbol associated with the age-old battle between Set and Horus. According to mythology, they refused to relent and every move made by either one culminated in a new set of challenges. It was believed that Horus and Set finally challenged one another to a stone-boat race. However, in this particular race, Horus had an edge, since his boat was actually made of wood, but disguised to resemble stone. Set's boat sank and Horus won the race. Legend has it that Set officially handed over the throne of Egypt to the victor. This myth culminates in the unification of upper and lower Egypt.

We can see:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_of_Horus

The eye is personified in the goddess Wadjet (also written as Wedjat,[1][2][3]Uadjet, Wedjoyet, Edjo or Uto[4] and as The Eye of Ra[5] or "Udjat"[6]).

...

“There are seven different hieroglyphs used to represent the eye, most commonly 'ir.t' in Egyptian, which also has the meaning 'to make or do' or 'one who does.'[4] In Egyptian myth the eye was not the passive organ of sight but more an agent of action, protection or wrath.”

So it's not just some eye but all of these meanings, however, and Horus who is important.

Horus is very old myth.

http://www.buzzle.com/articles/egyptian-god-horus.html

Ancient Egyptian myths and religion centered around a pantheon of gods and goddesses. Horus is not only one of the oldest gods in the Egyptian pantheon, but also one of the most significant deities. The religion has its roots in the Predynastic period and dates back to the Greco-Roman era.

This is very important to know that the roots of Horus are in the Predynastic period, and if we accept arriving E carriers in Europe, as advocated Cruciani et al, 2007 and this is 2000 to 2700 years BC, this means that the ancestors of Albanians knew very well for Horus.

Now we will see something else:

http://egypttourinfo.com/ancient-egypt-blog_files/ancient_egyptian_god_horus.html


Horus is a God of Ancient Egypt, once known as Heru or Har, but later referred to by his popular Greek translation. Horus was a God of power, and the Eye of Horus came to symbolize that quality.

This is important for us to know that the Egyptians called him.
...

Because Horus was God of the sky, he had in subjection to him the sun and the moon. Thus it was believed that the sun was one of his eyes and the moon his other. The injury of Horus at the hands of Set explains why the moon is weaker than the sun in giving off light.

When Horus was victorious he became known as Harsiesis or Horus the Elder. Horus may have lost his eye, but Set got the far worse end of the deal, himself losing a testicle. This explains why the desert (which Set represented along with storms and chaos) became infertile.



This is useful to determine:

www.sangraal.com/library/eyesofhorus.htm

Horus as now conceived is a mixture of the original deities known as "Horus the Child" and "Horus the Elder". As the Child, Horus is the son of Osiris and Isis, who, upon reaching adulthood, becomes known as Her-nedj-tef-ef ("Horus, Avenger of His Father") by avenging his father's death, by defeating and casting out his evil Set. As Horus the Elder, he was also the patron deity of Upper Egypt from the earliest times; initially, viewed as the twin brother of Set , the patron of Lower Egypt, but he became the conqueror of Set.

Here we can see that Horus was the patron deity of Upper Egypt, and it is teritory where they come from E carriers in the Balkans.

It is interesting that Albanian has words probably derived from ancient Egyptian:

times (eng.), herë (alb.), Heru or Har (anc. eg.)


loom (eng.), vegjë (alb.) Wadjet, Wedjat (and similar) (anc. eg.)gj (alb.) = dj

This Arbresh knew why he compared the Egyptian (Coptic today is derived from ancient Egyptian) words with Albanian, the country of origin is Egypt, and it is possible that:


1) we can rely on the assessment Cruciani et al on getting E carriers to the Balkans, about 2000 to 2700 years BC

2) Trombetta et al after rigorous scientific testing brought up a theory that E carriers in the Balkans arrived by sea

3) In Cushitic languages Il, Ila or Ili, that means the eye, is associated with old Deity Horus in Upper Egypt as well as meaning “to make” or “to do”. Maybe E carriers when they came to the Balkans are still cultivated the cult of Horus and may still used the word Ili or similar for the eye and therefore are called humans of eye (cult), ie. Iliryans, or a reason is connected with it, but if you find in Greek texts something about Cyclops might be and this could explain, since Cyclops has one eye, or may be something more for link.

I would not easily let go of connection with today's Cushitic word, and symbols of the eye, Horus of Egypt, the word Iliryan and meaning of “to make” but if you do not find the connection this will be treated as a hypothesis that we failed to prove, still it does not mean that hypotesis is not correct.

OK, may be you're right that connection with eye don't exist, we continue with the new discoveries going deeper into Africa, Egypt, Balkan, in the past and present.

if I look at list of 7 common Afro-Asiatic cognates given on wikipedia I can imediatelly recognize 3 of them in Serbian

Some Afroasiatic cognates are:

*b-n- 'build' (Ehret: *bĭn), attested in Chadic, Semitic (*bny), Cushitic (*mĭn/*măn 'house'), Berber (*bn) and Omotic (Dime bin- 'build, create').
*m-t 'die' (Ehret: *maaw), attested in Chadic (for example, Hausa mutu), Egyptian (mwt *muwt, mt, Coptic mu), Berber (mmet, pr. immut), Semitic (*mwt), and Cushitic (Proto-Somali *umaaw/*-am-w(t)- 'die'). Also Mot, Canaanite god of death.
*s-n 'know', attested in Chadic (for example, Hausa san), Berber, Egyptian and Semitic (Hebrew š-n-n 'learn, study').
*l-s 'tongue' (Ehret: *lis' 'to lick'), attested in Semitic (*lasaan/lisaan 'tongue'), Egyptian (ns *ls, Coptic las), Berber (ils), Chadic (for example, Hausa harshe), and possibly Omotic (Dime lits'- 'lick').
*s-m 'name' (Ehret: *sŭm / *sĭm), attested in Semitic (*sm), Berber (ism), Chadic (for example, Hausa suna), Cushitic, and Omotic (though some see the Berber form, ism, and the Omotic form, sunts, as Semitic loanwords.) The Egyptian smi 'report, announce' offers another possible cognate.
*d-m 'blood' (Ehret: *dîm / *dâm), attested in Berber (idammen), Semitic (*dam), and Chadic. Compare Cushitic *dîm/*dâm, 'red'.

Given the diversity that exists within the Afro-Asiatic group, and the lack of common vocabulary for agricultural items, it is suggested that the languages dispersed before the commencement of the Neolithic. The finding of a common vocabulary for pottery containers, however, suggests that this technology was known.

For example Proto-Semitic *k'ad-ah- "vessel", found in Arabic kadah "drinking bowl, cup, goblet, glass, tumbler"; Sabaean m-kdh(m,n) "cup; Ethiopic / Geez kadho "vessel, gourd", ma-kdeht "jar, jug, bucket"; Lowland East Cushitic *k'adad- "vessel, gourd; Oromo k'odaa "vessel, gourd; Egyptian qd "pot"; Lowland East Cushitic *k'od- "receptical"; Oromo k'odaa "receptacle"; West Chadic *k'wad- "calabash"; Dangla koda "pot" gives Proto-Afro-Asiatic *k'ud-/*k'od- "Vessel, pot"[8].

Ehret [9] suggests that early Afro-Asiatic languages were involved in the domestication of Ethiopian food crops, but this is disputed by others who suggest these words were found only in the Cushitic and possibly Omotic families, and common cognates for agriculture are not present. Given that wavy line pottery is found widely in the Sahara from 8,000 BCE[10], and that the neolithic agriculture technologies arrived 5000 BCE[11], this sets a possible context for Proto-Afro-Asiatic dispersal. As it is known that the Ethiopian farmers moved into the highlands from the direction of Nubian Sudan, and attempts to translate the Meroitic script found in this area show significant Afro-Asiatic characteristics, linguist Lionel Bender suggests that this area of the Southern Nile was the centre from which the Afro-Asiatic languages dispersed[12]. The dates of pottery and agriculture set approximate early and late dates for this linguistic dispersal. Climatically this was the time of a "wet Sahara" phase with large rivers and lakes. The dispersal of Afro-Asiatic may thus have been a response to the recent operation of the "Sahara pump"[13][14].

btw. Proto-Semitic *k'ad-ah- "vessel", found in Arabic kadah "drinking bowl, cup, goblet, glass, tumbler"; Sabaean m-kdh(m,n) "cup; Ethiopic / Geez kadho "vessel, gourd", ma-kdeht "jar, jug, bucket"; Lowland East Cushitic *k'adad- "vessel, gourd; Oromo k'odaa "vessel, gourd; Egyptian qd "pot"; Lowland East Cushitic *k'od- "receptical"; Oromo k'odaa "receptacle"; West Chadic *k'wad- "calabash"; Dangla koda "pot" gives Proto-Afro-Asiatic *k'ud-/*k'od- "Vessel, pot"[8].

Serbian kada = (bathing) tub

by checking russian online dictionary, of those 4 cognates (out of 8 Afro-asiatic words I found) 3 are all Slavic words (not just Serbian)...

Serbian znati (to know) Russian znati (знать)
Serbian lizati (to lick) russian lizati (лизать)
Serbian umreti/mrtav (to die/dead) russian umereti/mertvi (умереть/мертвый)

however,
Serbian kada (tub) Russian vana ( ванна)

Serbian is Slavic language and what you write applies to all Slavic languages.

For example:

to know

Serbian: znati
Croatian: znati
Russian: знать (lat. znatь)
Ukrainen: знати (lat. znati)
Bulgarian: знам (lat. znam)

to lick

Serbian: lizati
Croatian: lizati
Russian: лизать (lat. lizatь)
Ukrainen: лизати (lat. lizati)
Bulgarian: лижа (lat. lizha)

Etc.

Slavic languages belong to one language group. Thus, the Serbian language should not be viewed in isolation, for then might turn out to all Slavic languages originate from Serbian as the least pretentious.

If you noticed in the text of Wikipedia under the Cognates, when compared Afro-Asiatic languages each other, compare the branch of languages, rather than every individual language.

So when it says Berber languages it is a branch within the Afro-Asiatic family such as the Slavic languages in one branch of the Indo-European family.

You can see that linguists tried to make connections between Indo-European and Semitic languages and see the result is simply no results.

"Hermann Möller (1906) argued for a relation between the Semitic and Indo-European languages. This proposal was accepted by some linguists (eg Holger Pedersen and Louis Hjelmslev) but has little currency today."

Can you imagine what would be the result of comparing Slavic languages with languages which further than Semitic?


Mean, the Albanian language is an exception because it is not classified into any group of languages, it is unique in Europe as well as Indo-European.

Even the Albanians have investigated the connection with other, non Indo-European languages, among Albanians there are alternative theories that originate from Egypt, you have here on the subject of a book published by one Arbresh from Italy.

And I personally knew the Albanians who claimed that the Egyptians originated.

And Albanians themselves write about it on Albanian forums.

And you can see that the haplogroups indicate that the most likely country of origin is the Upper Egypt.

Because there are many paths that indicate the relationship of Albanians and Africa (ie Egypt), among them the language also, it is worth exploring.


To someone trying to investigate that Slavic languages have roots with the Afro-Asian may be an attempt, as it does many other things may try, but objectively what he or she can expect to be achieved in that attempt?

Mean, the Albanian language is an exception because it is not classified into any group of languages, it is unique in Europe as well as Indo-European.

The Albanian language is a distinct Indo-European language that does not belong to any other existing branch.

I think this is the right definition.

[LeBrok]

In all reality, this dispute isn't about what they call themselves, it's the territorial claims they make based on their imagined community. This is why Greece doesn't mind they use the term 'macedonia', as long as the is a prefix, like northern, Upper, New Macedonia ect, which distinuishes itself from the greek Macedonia. Bulgaria feels the same way and back greece on this.

For same logic Greece should be called New Greece, to make it distinct from ancient Greece with it's Hellenic religion, customs, warrior culture, etc. Today's Greece is in many ways a lot different than ancient one.

Please tell me, who is John Amos Comenius?

John Amos Comenius (Czech: Jan Amos Komenský; Slovak: Ján Amos Komenský; German: Johann Amos Comenius; Polish: Jan Amos Komeński; Hungarian: Comenius Ámos János; Latinized: Iohannes Amos Comenius) (28 March 1592 – 4 November 1670) was a Czech teacher, educator, and writer. He was the last bishop of Unity of the Brethren, a religious refugee, and one of the earliest champions of universal education, a concept eventually set forth in his book Didactica Magna. He is often considered the father of modern education.

We must have some distortions fitting the languages and the haplogroups with the today national identities for some populations.
Let remember the example of hungarians ( magyar). Today they speak an uralic language, but the genetic heritage from the magyar is nearly to 10%. So they imposed their language to the local population, because they have the politic power.
Remember, it needs only 80 years to change the language of a population!

Differentiation of 63 IE languages rappresented in a tree of greitlinguistic group based on the analysis of the root of 200 lexical signifiers, which are supposed to be the most preserved in all the languages examined. The numbers next to branches indicate % reliability of the construction of that particular branch. The scale located below the figure indicates the years before the present. Some languages are included 2 or 3 times, because it pertains to different dialectal variants or socio-linguistics.

SHQIPTAR = ISH + GIPT + AR means I AM EGYPTIAN g as wh in what if g as k the coptic
cause in byzantine egyptians even today they are called GYPT-IAN and the COPTIC KOPT-ES = COPT-ES
then THAT APPROACH FITS TO YOU,
MEANING THAT SHQIPTAR MEANS EGYPTIAN.
OR ESH + GIPT + AR = FROM EGYPT ???????
also Ash means from but only in east ionic
because Skiptos means bowed but sgiptos means egyptian
k as gr κ
g as γ -wh- in what 'swhiptos'
or the very ancient before 700 BC skif-os or skiphos wich in aeolian druopean (thessaly) means ksifos early kind of spear, the metallic nose-edge of the spear,
cause in case that shqiptar means form egypt then we have a small lingua conection with egypt,
but in case of shqiptar means something like the sword, then the similarity with proto-greeks is obvious

This is one explanation!

In our mistreated history, extirpated and transformed, we have to save that which is more valuable: Our Language.
From her we get information from where we come, why we are called such, and which are our symbols. Thus we know well that our symbols are very ancient, they are connected with a ancient believe, with our ancient Deity(Hyjnine) Zeus. On the helmet of our Albanian leader Scanderbeg of 15 century is founded exactly the symbols of this Deity(Hyu): horns of the goat of Amaltia who fed Zeus.

This Deity(Hy) was called: That who sends thunders from above, He from where the thunders fall.
Thunder itself was his symbol and it was called κεραυνός which is pronounced që-raun-os.

This is an albanian expression and in linguistics is called a subjoined word. Of course there is no need for a translation but is read: që ranë. The root of the word is ra, which in today albanian is the past of the verb fall(strike, hit) or alb bie(qelloj, godas).
So that is the verb:when it strikes (me i ra), which gets used when
1. Lightning Strikes(Godet(rrufeja)
2. Lightning falls(Bie(rrufeja)
However that is used in ''"greek"" even to describe the horn eg:
it strikes with horns(i ra me brire)=horns are those that are used to strike and hit.

beside qëraunos we find another word for thunder:

this is the name of the eagle(shqipes) that sends thunder:

 

[iapetoc]

well you just show me the σκηπτ-ος, but with wrong approach
cause hommer names skiphei and ksifei,

σκιφος = Aeolian sword (the top metallic nose of spear)
Ξιφος = (κσιφος) = sword to south greeks (dorian-achaic-ionian) (the top metallic nose of spear)

as you see the skiphos and ksiphos also both named in hommer

now σκηπτος is almost corect cause you also find it in crete ksipharia of uranus
and ksipharia means the lighting the light that metal does when crushed, like 2 swords,
ks and sk is due to dialect
example athenean fagame (eat)
makedonian Vagame(eat)
proto greek vrosame,
the exact meaning in σκηπτος is light, in greek strapt
α-στραπ-η noun a-strap-e (i) lighting
ε-στραπτ-ε virb 3 person past e-strapt-e
thunder in Greeks is the phainomenon of 2 smaller phainomena
1 the lightning the a-strap-i (the spark light of of skifei or ksifei)
2 the sound the Vront-i (vront-os bront-os) the vrrr sound
keras is the horn but also the knife and also the potery and keramos (tile)
keraynos -keravnos is the sound of falling tiles also
or an expression we use (bull in a glass store)
but keravno-bol-o (κεραυνο-βολ-ω βολω=βαλω is shoot(vallistic)) means throw a tile, or a horn, hmm i guess knives??

but the approach can be bigger if we reach the Danaus legend
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danaus

meaning that the first E-V13 inhabited Argos peloponese, etc
besides there are many Greek Gods and words in GreeK that comes from Africa

now about fustanella is the Greek of Pus (πους = foot) which in aeolic is fus
πους
ποδος τ,δ,θ -> ποδα

λυ-ω set free
past λελληκα lellika watch double ll
simple past ελυα -> elia -elja -ella

fus=fotos +elja -> fostanella-> fustanella
lefts feet free ->free feets
podea = a quilt that bounds or protect feet
also today as fodea or fodra
that protects feet
what is this???

Alexander wears Fustanella????

OH MY GOD????

You gave a good example for the Egyptian roots, and the custom of wearing fustanella (kilt) can be explained as the kilt worn in Ancient Egypt thousands of years BC.

“The ancient Egyptians made their own clothes from what their environment and nature gave them. Egypt has mostly a hot climate thus the use of clothes reflect material that is lightweight to suit this type of climate. The ancient Egyptians thus used clothes made of linen. The ancient Egyptians both men and women wore linen clothes all throughout the hot weather. The men wore short skirts around their waists called kilts, while the women wore straight fitting dresses with straps on their shoulders. The wealthy men wore pleated kilts, and the older men wore a longer kilt. When doing hard work, men wore a loin cloth, and women wore a short skirt. Children usually ran around nude during the summer months. Linen is a fabric made from plant fibers. The plant fiber comes from flax plants that grow abundantly along the banks of the Nile. “

Kilts were of various sizes and shapes depending on the position in society, era, etc..

Keep in mind that not all E carriers in the Balkans the Illyrians, but the Illyrians are E carriers, so that it is not surprising if some practices are unchanged, ie. that both Albanians and may be some Greeks have similar costume which pulling long origin of the land of ancestors.

I undestood very well your intention to write about the albanians.
The albanians who claim to originate from Egypt are a minority of Roms.

I am researcher, I have no front or rear intentions.

In my opinion, the Albanians are the descendants of the Illyrians and Illyrians are the bearers of haplogroup E, but not all E carriers in the Balkans are the Illyrians, part of Greeks also are the holders of the E haplogroup. And it was proved that haplogroup E-V78, the E-V13 is subclade, comes from Egypt.

It is good to get involved in the discussion because it will thus be better. You can see that for this whole group of languages from Somalia to Egypt and the Berbers, once used the name of the Hamitic languages. A Hamitic languages are consistent with the E haplogroup. For example in Russia, some authors call Illyrians Hamitic, but Russian sources I do not use because of the Russian has “jat”, it makes learning more difficult and I have no times to study.

There are Albanian sources and authors who link Albanians and Egypt, but they are not Roma.

If you are interested in the Internet there are the sources about of the Albanians, Egypt and Somalia as you like. For example you can see on Internet a lot people of Somalia and Egypt are excited to have relatives still in Europe. And some of these sources we can use, and detailed analysis on these sites and blogs that may be of interest. For analitic Iapetoc has more and more material.

And so on, on this issue we can discuss till tomorrow morning, because there are countless sources. But you will be able to see, with Iapetoc I will comment on the idea of an Albanian author who claims same as Iapetoc about Illyrians, El and Ill.

Cruciani et al 2007, based on rigorous scientific studies, found that E carriers in the Balkans appeared 2000 to 2700 BC. Assumptions that E carriers in the Balkans have come much earlier were previosly and they are dropped. Iapetoc thought it was a little earlier, ok, it can be discussed, whether and how much earlier or later, but 2000 to 2700 BC, and a little earlier or later period can be considered.

So, under such paragraph, the part of E holders have become Greeks, somewhat assimilated into other tribes and nations and the Illyrians were the ones who preserve their characteristics originating from the ancient land upper Egypt.

language of Berbers might have been heavily influenced by I2a1 that might have been same ancient old proto-Serb related tribes who settled Sardinia..

I2a1 does correlate with Berbers fairly well....

Ancient old proto-Serb related tribes who settled Sardinia ???? WTF Are you saying that I M26 in western Europe (including the British island) is proto Serb ?


I2a1 does correlate with the Berbers ?? the Berbers of Sahara and atlas or the Coastal people of North Africa that suffered numerous invasion for centuries?

You clearly have an Haplogroup I2a obssession. Stop seeing haplogroup I and Serbian related tribes everywhere

Thanks on this clarification. In general, Slavic languages are not connected with Berber. I think that how yes no had something else in mind but I could discuss about it with him on another subject, not here, because this topic is already quite complex and we must keep the focus.
