What if we deal with 3 populations, one J2b Illyrian / Romanized Illyrian, one Central Balkan Thracian native population and the incomming Dacians / North Danube Thracians?

Lets also not forget abt that archeological culture from Central Balkans during the Roman times that perfectly overlaps with Albanoid toponyms that seemed IIRC to have lasted until the 5th century and that had paralels with other older Eastern and Central Balkans cultures. So we got a...

I find one problem with Riverman's theory that if Albanians would be of Daco-Thracian origin, they'd be of Dacian descend because it wouldn't explain why Proto-Albanians have Doric loanwords. I still think just as you Johane, that Proto-Albanians would be the descendents of a native Central...

I've managed to find the article from Matzinger translated in English on Quora and I've read most of it. It's intresting that in the begining part of it, Matzinger makes a separation between Dacian and Thracian and he only says about the Thracian language not being Albanoid or related to...

Thanks for clarification!

Johane Derite, I saw on the internet that many people argue that Albanian cant derive from Daco-Thracian because it doesnt have a word derived from para/dava that means a settlement or some alike, instead it has vend which some would say is connected to the toponym in Croatia Vendum. What do you...

At this point the theory of Daco-Thracian origin of Albanians seems more plausible than the Illyrian one but I got a couple of questions, if Albanian truly comes from the language of those resettled Dacians how can we collerate this theory with the very early Latin layer of Albanian which is...

I'm not an expert on this subject, so I might ask you, do we know in what places Daco-Thracian/Illyrian toponyms start to dominate in Dardania/Central Balkans? This should help us on determining where the real border between Illyrians and Daco-Thracians could be located. I dont think archeology...

I find one problem with the Daco-Thracian origin of Albanians, the Messapic Albanian conection. Maybe this could be explained if Daco-Thracians were a Yamnaya IE people, what do you think abt this?

As an Aromanian, what is your opinion on the current situation of Aromanian comunities in Greece, Albania etc. Do ppl still speak Aromanian, especially the young generation? Do Romanian tourists help with the maintaining of the language?

AFAIK, there are no Messapian samples, instead, we got Daunian samples.

I I havent done any y-haplogroup test but I would like to take one, could you recommand me a company that does y-dna testing?

In the past I used to belive in the autochtonus theory of Romanians and that Romanians are the descendents of only Romanized Dacians. Now, I am sure that we, Romanians, are the descendents of Vlachs that migrated north of the Danube but also in other places from the Balkans. Genetically, it...

What has his ethnicity to do with his work, if his arguments are wrong then tell me why are they?

Here is an image of Bessi archeological sites during the Roman period and the sites where they were mentioned. The only reson why on wikipedia it is written that the Bessi theory is debunked it is because of Matzinger's arguments, which are wrong as Radu Craciun demonstrated.

The Ev13 samples that were modeled as 50 Thracian and 50 Illyrian dont have a good score at all and many people have criticised the way how those samples were modeled. Those samples would rather represent the native Daco-Mysian population of that region, thats why those are different to the...

You keep repeating nonsense. Modern linguists such as Matzinger dont suport that Proto-Albanians were in whats now Albania, however they support the fact that they migrated there, thats how these toponyms such as Mat appeared. Shkodra, Sharr and other toponyms in Albania dont follow Albanian...

Toponyms from Albania dont have Albanian phonetic evolution, that was stated by many linguists especially Matzinger. As for Lipjan, while no Roman Era document mention any paleo-balkan population living there, it could have been inhabited by Bessi because Scupi, Besiana and Besaiana are all...

Western Dardania cannot be the place where this happened as Sharr doesnt match Albanian phonetic evolution so the area of contact between Albanians and Vlachs was in Eastern Dardania and Western Dacia Mediteranea,as thats where all toponyms that match Albanian phonetic evolution are located.

Aromanian split from Romanian earlier and migrated in Greece and other places in the Balkans in the 9th century, meanwhile Proto-Romanians migrated later in what is now Romania.
