The same question can be asked why you ignored the other posts?
Pigmentation has no relevance, blond people existed across the Balkans before the Slavs and Germanic movements. There's no difference in the South Slavs and Albanians when it comes to pigmentation really. No offense, it just seems you haven't paid attention to all this.
I'm blond, blue eyed and pale-skinned myself(and very tall at 198cm) & typical Gheg in autosomal plots/admixture with slight northwestern shift.
I dont see the relevance of your post as I agree with everything you said. So, did you understand my point?
Anyway, my point is that these I2a predominant areas and tribes tend to have darker/Mediterranid features than Albanians or other Montenegrins. So why would the I2a-Din Slavs specifically the ones who are darker in eye and hair pigmentation?
Vlachs are similar to the host population of their country so you can't use that as an argument and they do have quite a handful of different haplogroups.
They did infact mingle with Slavs due to common religion of Orthodoxy and so did the Tosks to a lesser extent.
Vlachs R1a frequency is 21.5% in FYROM alone.
Again, I don't know what you're arguing about as I agree with everything you're saying. My point is that those Montenegrin/Slav tribes I mentioned are also known to be Vlachs or simply called "indigenous/Illyrians" originally before becoming fully Slavicized in the 15-16th century.
Ghegs, especially from the northern tribes are infact the population one should always look at and we see a strong continuity between three main haplogroups since the Classic times; J2b2, R1b-L23 and EV13 with virtually non-existing I2a-Slavic. J2b2-L283 and R1b-L23 frequencies increases the more deeper you get into Gheg tribal territory.
Yes, I'm aware of that, although I'm not sure about E-V13 decreasing in the Gheg tribal territory. Perhaps we need more testing done.
I2a-Slavic and R1a along with some mtDNA are the markers that carried significant North-Eastern admixture into the Balkans.
I've seen many South Slavs, particularily Bosnians and Croats get more than 50% North Slavic on DNA.land and that tells you something.
Can you provide some links where we can see that particularly Herzegovinian Bosniak and Croats belonging to I2a-Din get more than 50% North Slavic?
I'm sure there are many Bosnians and Croats that have a bigger Slavic admixture as even the appearance is less Balkanic in general, so we gotta be sure we're separating those ones from the I2a-Din highlanders of Dalmatia, Herzegovina, Montenegro, South-Western Serbia, etc.
My DNA.land results are almost purely Balkan, seen some Ghegs get 100%
I believe its the modern genetists that decided who to call pure Balkan and who to call Slavic (in case they actually do, but I doubt it.
My point is that even the Illyrians themselves were different from each other, the Northern ones being more North-Eastern while the Southern ones being more "indigenous" or Mediterranean.
Same goes to Albanians. North Albanians have more North-Eastern admixture than South Albanians, yet we know that historically North has been affected less by the Slavs due to its terrain and culture, whereas the South was more prone to sudden changes as even the Slavic toponymy proves it.
