Serbia is not exonym.... Srpcka is not correct... in Serbian language: people/tribe: Srbi (Serbs) land: Srbija (serbia) language: srpski jezik (serbian language or language that belongs to Serbs) from "Srbi"to "srpski" is about grammar rule that changes 'b'to 'p' in certain cases... note...

I don't know, I wouldnot exclude possibillity that I2 people (including I2b, I2a1 and I2a2) are originally Celts... Celts are claimed to live in Africa, Asia and there is I2 in north Africa and Asia (e.g. in Kurds)... black strain of R1b of Africa is too far a way in past from Celtic R1b to be...

Iapetoc, It is hard to guess who were original IE speakers... as far as we know genetic and linguistic might have been developing separately.... Zanipolo, why do you need agenda for every post.... point is to compare two languages and cultures... if others do the similar comparison of Celtic...

preached and institutionalized religions are typically turning into some black and white painted ideological forms that tend to lose original essence.... religion raises from our need to have solid basis for our arguments and viewpoints... question is why is acknowledging lack of knowledge and...

I do not know where Serbs came from originally... my guess is that they may origin from Cimmerians/Serians but point is in distant times Cimmerians/Serians lived in both Asia, Asia minor and Europe... we do know that I2a was present in Europe long time ago...

Dragan is typically Serbian name... can occur in Macedonia perhaps, but never heard of other Slavic people with name Dragan.... e.g. it is not used by Croats or Slovenes... there is more to it, Serbs are related to wolf... also Lycia whose several leaders had name Sarpedon (which could mean...

Iapetoc, you are grossly overstating role of christianisation...Slavic people had common language much before they were turned into Christians... turning barbarians into Christians was a way for Romans and Greeks to try put under control people they called barbarians... another dimension is that...

there is not much dacian and thracian words...mostly name places... and Dacian sound ok to you because they end on -dava which is also often the case in Slavic and I suppose in Baltic languages as well due to word for fort "tvrdjava" which is in fact coin word "tvrd" (strong) + dava (?) though...

"ljudi" for people in Slavic languages seems to match Gothic version btw. there is also word "četa" for military unit, which is of same origin I would say...

Dagne, thanks for comparison Zanipolo, this is thread about parallels in two languages, two cultures, two mythologies... if you are bothered with this thread go open thread about Albanian-Celtic parallels... should not be too difficult to recognize words that match in form and meaning in...

great Dagne !! can you keep doing that and also please check proto-Celtic vocabulary for other shared words... I am curious whether Lithuanian has more or less shared words with proto-Celtic than Serbian/Slavic and what are the words that are shared... as they are probably from older times...

it is assumption...how vague is it... well, even a great assumption from a linguist point of view may still be based on coincidence and completely incorrect ... ok, I misunderstood what you are trying to say.... dunno...that area has lot of type of haplogroup E that origins from Balkan...

don't try to sell me someone's very vague assumption as absolute truth... Combrogi and Cymry are clearly different words... don't you think that maybe Strabo knew something you do not know?... he lived at times or close to times when that happened...you live almost 2000 years later... it is...

you took 2 PIE examples from much more non-PIE examples... in total you recognized 4 out of 22 words as PIE... don't you think it is too little to be able to deny cognjates other than PIE? I would say you are extremely biased.... what about words for plow, ant, air (wind), angry....? how can...
