Here is what user Hawk wrote about the inscription mentioning Albanopolis : "Also the inscription mentioning Albanopolis "POSIS MESTYLU F[ILIUS] FL[AVIA] DELVS MVCATI F[ILIA] DOM[O] ALBANOP[OLI] IPSA DELVS". It is translated as "Posis Mestylu, son of Flavia, daughter of Delus Mucati, who comes...

Matzinger said that the Illyrians were related to Proto-Albanian before he came to the conclusion that they arent Proto-Albanians. As you said, Vermeer doesnt fully support Illyrian theory neither. Vermeer is correct about the phonetic evolution of Naissus and Astibos but the only weird thing is...

Archeology and Linguistics suggest that the Illyrian Dardani, lived in what is now the western half of Kosovo. The regions east of the Illyrian Dardani were inhabited by Thracians and possibly by a third paleo-balkan group and thus Naissus and Astibos were in a clear Thracian linguistic zone all...

I dont know what arguments does Willem Vermeer present but his works on Albanian are from the 90s and 2000s(thats what chat gpt told me), so I think that Willem's arguments are most likely the same or at least they are included in Matzinger's arguments.

Matzinger denies also Illyrian hypothesis. 2 pages ago, Johanne Derite presented arguments from the linguist Radu Craciun which presents arguments on why Matzinger is wrong about the rejection of Thracian origin of Albanian. The same linguist, in the same work, presented phonetic evolutions of...

We know that the Bessi tribe lived before the Roman Period in North-West of Rhodopes Mountains. I think thats where Proto-Albanians got their Doric loanwords (if Albanians truly descend from those Bessi). The theory about the Doric loanwords comming from western Dardanians is possible if the...

Whats intresing is that there is also the toponym Shtip in N.Macedonia which shows Albanian phonetic evolution aswell. Both cities were inhabited by Thracian people during the Roman Rule.

They definetly had some slavic admixture aswell as some other influences from turkic and other steppe people.

Albanians definetly cant be modeled with 75% illyrian and 25% mena. Albanians have also slavic admixture that ranges 15 - 25% and on top of that they must have atleast some thracian admixture aswell because their most common haplogroup is ev13.

I have never said proto-Albanians were 90% Ev13. The medieval founder effect does not affect only ev13 but all haplogroups in different regions and lastly the Gheg-Tosk split could have taken place all the way to 900 AD.

Until now there arent any y dna results of Messapians, archeology and linguists say that Messapians were or at least had some differences compared to Dauni and Peucetian tribes. Again, linguists suggest that Albanian migrated to modern day Albania and must have been close to where...

What makes you think that?

On top of that, if there really was a Dardanian population that survived romanization then why it wasnt documented by anyone from ancient times, especially if the Dardanians neighboured the Bessi to the east.

Really cool stuff however if there was really an Albanian migration into France, I dont think those individuals left a lingustic trace in those regions where they settled and just got assimilated into the Latinophone population.

Continental Greeks and Islanders

Is there any study which analyzed Pontian Greek Y-dna? Some of these ev-13 that are present in Anatolian Greeks and Islanders might have been brought by Mainlander Greeks.

As you said, y dna is very useful for finding out migration pattern, then how can you explain the ev13 in greeks, while mycenean greeks didnt have ev13. Ofc some ev13 might have been introduced in greeks by thracians during iron age and later periods but most of it seems to come from vlachs and...

Albanians dont have a lot of greek dna, this could be easly said by looking into their y-dna so the moment when Arvanites recived greek admixture was when they came in Greece and mixed with the native Greek population, in the same time, the native Greek population also recived Albanian admixture...

Greeks from Deep Mani dont also have minor slavic admixture?

And from what populations do Roman Era Greeks descend from?
