Southern Albanians assimilated one significant number of Slavs in the middle ages, northern very little.
Arbareshe colonists descend from southernmost parts of Albanian people, according to the Arbareshe dialect
We lack Albanian STR haplotypes on 37 or more markers in order to compare them the with similiar South Slav haplotypes especialy those E-V13
According to the newest genetic researches in Serbia, so far, it seems that Muslims in Sanjak region in Serbia have around half Albanian ancestry, but the speciment is so far to small to draw definitive conclusions.
