In what scientific discoveries is this map based on ?
I saw it on Lazaridis' twitter.

Is it incorrect?

The title of the book Epirotes -the Albanians of antiquity is borrowed from the Theodor Mommsen’s definition of Epirotes
in Römische Geschichte.

there is a spanish presentation paper on the ydna markers of the illyrian tribes

There seems to be too many different references to who the illyrians are ........there is clearly no mention of the term illyrians by the tribes themselves ..........even the Great Illyrian revolt only had tribes .
from Dalmatia and Pannonia
.
.
IMO, since I recently presented the census of Rome on the numbers of different Illyrian tribes , of which the Dalmatians had over 55% , then to me , these Dalmatians are the "first illyrians" ......and as we know they came to dalmatia from modern southern Austria
From what I can see through google translating this blog, its not an official opinion but that of a blogger. He seems to have devoted an entire blog post about how Delmetae (Dalmatians) etymology doesn't come
from Albanian "Delme" (Sheep) and he uses Vladimir Orels opinion on the etymology to argue that. I will say that his opinion on the etymology of Delme is extremely speculative and so can hardly be used as an argument
to say something so sure. Especially since the archeological record of Dalmatia shows lots of sheep rearing.
From translating his responses to comments he just seems to evade or not adress the Albanian question, despite 4 different threads posted on the Illyrian question.
So i would take this map with a grain of salt about how accurate or reflective of reality it is.
Here we go again.
That paper supposedly on "Illyrian ydna" first of all is from an Italian group, not a Spanish one, and second, is of modern dna, and third and for good measure is only 12 strs:

I can't believe how in the XXI century we are discussing about Anonymous authors. We have various Anonymous, the Anonymous of Wikipedia, this infinite number of anonymous bloggers, etc. We have various Medieval chronicles that for different reasons are called Anonymous. For example the cover was torn apart and we don't know who are the authors of those chronicles, etc. But in the XXI century? For what reason someone have to hide his identity in our days? Because there is an agenda behind his "scientific work". Unfortunately some people consider all this as SCIEEENCE.
BTW, we have different priorities here in Balkans.
I do not see English translations from this,however is a good thread to discuss.I saw it on Lazaridis' twitter.

I think this map is largely based on previous linguists in the field,for example the division of "Illyrian" into two groups from Radoslav Katicic Dalmatian-Pannonian and Illyrian proper.Paeonian seem very much close to Thracian.Moesian or Daco-Moesian was Georgiev dialect grouping i guess who arguess that Dacian and Thracian were different languages.
So i really do not see anything bad in this map,since is mostly based on other linguists opinions.
Dienekes was mentioned by me in this thread, but not as a scientist, but as the symbol of a category of people who have chosen anonymity. The reasons why these people have opted to remain anonymous can be different. For example, some things that can not be said by people with names and surnames because in this case the risk is too big, are said through these anonymous bloogers, and then come "the real scholars" that attract the public's attention on the theories of these individuals or organizations hidden behind these pseudonyms. Let's make an agreement, let's leave this category of these illustrious anonymous people out of the talk. Let's concentrate on the work of the people who put their name taking all the consequences, first of all in respect to the second category.I can't believe people are discussing Dienekes and other bloggers as scientists (and not amateur but perhaps knowledgeable people who comment on scientific works), whereas they just ignore or dismiss (of course, only the others must have agendas) the papers written by actual scientists. Maybe it's comforting to believe that all the evidences that do not confirm their expectations are only the product of agenda-driven anonymous amateurs...
You are totally wrong and this due to the fact that you are from "New World" and you do not really know the reality in this part of the world. Exactly because due to our much more recent and thus much more well known convoluted history, we can`t find much of it very petty and kind of ludicrous from an internal perspective. Some of these so-called scholars remind us of the Nazi "scholars" who traveled the world by measuring the skulls to find the perfect race. And i am sure that you know the reasons of their interest about this kind of things.P.S.: I have no horse in this Balkanic horse race, I actually find much of it very petty and kind of ludicrous from an external, "New World" perspective (perhaps more cynical due to our much more recent and thus much more well known convoluted history), since people seem to claim a direct, pure, totally unmixed and untainted connection between specific modern nations and very specific aspects of people who lived in the same area (or, preferably, in even broader areas, that sounds grander, doesn't it?) millennia ago.
