No. You call yourselves Albanians to emulate the continuity between medieval Albanains and yourselves. Ok for the 5th time - where is the EVIDENCE of that continuity? Return to post #435!

These are Albanians: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albanian_principalities#/media/File:Coat_of_arms_of_the_Despotate_of_Arta.jpg Shqiptars are not Albanians. As, I've already asked you - do you have any evidence that they spoke the same language? Do you really believe these bull**p sentences...

If Albanians had always lived there, then why would they call the region Krajina? Etc... I know couple of theories why you call yourself Shqiptars, but they're not important now. It is you who impose that Albanians are not the same as medieval Albanian. I've asked you to present the connection...

You're mixing Albanians and Shqiptars again.

I don't know, ask them. Anyway, what does it have to do with my question, and Croats?

Ok, so why Croatia of today doesn't unite with Bosnian Croats and Montenegrins under the name of West Serbia?

I'm not talking about substrate, but about pronunciation.

Nowhere does it say what's the extent of Boika. :facepalm: Ok, whatever :)

Nowhere does it say that Serbs came from Lusatia. The original story is that they came from beyond Turkey, from a region called Boika. That may as well be somewhere here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Serbia#/media/File:Migration_of_serbs03_01.png And you already have a people there, who...

So, you're starting with insults? Ok, for the 3rd time. Give me something that was written at least 500 years ago. Do you understand that? Not a Serbian book from 5 years ago, but a letter written by Skanderbeg 500 years ago. This is the last time I'm asking for it. No, I'm not from Serbia.

I am using correct ethnic denomination. Do you suggest another one? Why are you telling me about books written 5 years ago?! Give me the evidence I asked in the previous comment? Single word? Single tombstone?

You are free to prove that medieval Albanians were in fact of Shqiptar ethnic origin and that they spoke Shiptar language. One simple word, or script, or stone carving, or something? From Dimitri Progon? Or anyone else? Surely Scanderbeg would at least give credits to Shiptar language with one...

@Laberia The problem is that medieval Albanian is not the same as Shqiptar.

Indeed, that would be very eloquent and scientific terminology from medieval highlanders :) Please you. Wake up from your national-romantic dream, because it is totally plausible. There are many indications that parts of population of Albania are from the East. Where do you think they've got...

As, I recall, the whole idea (some 10 years ago) was that I2a was a part of autochthon Balkan population which resided in most isolated and mountainous parts of Dinaric Alps. Now that we know it is very young subclade, and that it most probably came to Balkan during the migration of 6th century...

Whose propaganda? What?

But now we know TMRCA and age of that I2, and we can assume that Byzantines were right and that Balkan was really empty before Slavic migration in the 6th century?

This could have some sense. Progonat literally means 'a place for the outcasts', which should be an inhabited place. There was later also a Progon family, probably from the same region? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progon_family

Take this subject back to where it belongs: http://www.eupedia.com/forum/threads/26201-Who-were-and-are-the-Albanians-and-their-DNA/page9

http://www.balkaninsight.com/en/article/austrian-scholars-leave-albania-lost-for-words Matzinger points put that when the few surviving fragments of Illyrian and Albanian are compared, they have almost nothing in common. “The two are opposites and cannot fit together,” he says. “Albanian is...
