Are these distances based on G25 coordinates? Even if so, what do these prove? Admixture and pca based distances are totally different aspects that aren't necessarily correlated and most of the time they aren't. You can mix a Cypriot and an English and get an offspring that plots like North...

I'm not sure why you are bringing this but Macedonia(Greek part) was indeed heavily settled by Slavic population ever since from the 6th century. It never stopped having a Slavic population. On the other hand, Greeks from Macedonia do have a lot of Slavic ancestry one way or another. It's...

Why is being a Paleobalkan descended so important if that kind has been so obscure and marginalised to the point modern linguists and others struggle to identify any trace of their primitive homeland in the Balkans? I don't think I would take that as a pride myself.

Don't want to interrupt your discussion but having read the accounts of 17th century Ottoman travelers such as Evliya Çelebi and having in possession Ottoman registers from 1560 of Salonika sanjak I can't recall I have encountered any Macedonians! Of course there are today but I don't think you...

That might be true but still yDna is only around 1% of the total DNA. All Vlachs in the Southern Balkans have common ancestors in the last thousand years. And that can be easily observed with IBD matching. As for yDna, here is one example where Yetos is very wrong...

You totally misunderstood what I wrote. I have no interest about the 'Slavic' admixture of the Greeks. I've mentioned the Slavs who live in Greece though. BTW, who are the scientists saying there is nothing common in genetics between the Vlachs from Greece and Albania?

Sure, I'm not denying that, it's expected to find variation on such a wide area. Nevertheless, the Vlachs from Serbia are Romanians basically, while those from Greece, Albania and North Macedonia are Aromanians mostly and my reaction previously was on the comment that the Aromanians from these...

No, it doesn't look that way. If they were that, they wouldn't have called themselves Romans btw. If they were just romanised why haven't they kept their 'Balkan' ethnonym? It's really simple, I don't know why would you strip them off their Roman legacy? Some of the very first accounts of the...

The Romans and the Latin speaking populations lived in the cities. All the rest who weren't latinised nor called themselves Romans were rural and became ancestors to people such as the Albanians. Why would a fully Latinised population call8ng themselves Romans live in the mountains far from the...

My post wasn't really directed to the modern Greeks. It has to do more with the negative sentiment overall and nationalistic views and spirits that start appearing from the 18th century on. From this stems the views that the Vlachs from Albania or other countries have nothing to do with the...

Yeah, yeah, it's the same with the Slavophone Greeks that were Greeks since time began but the evil Slavs slavicised them. Propaganda par excellence from the the time of Cosma the 'Saint' who was proclaiming for the 'barbarian' Vlachs, Albanians and Slavs to change their barbarous tongue to...

I think you are underestimating the human ability for adaptation. You will find that a perfectly citizen population in very difficult times can go miles and beyond in order to survive. Remember, the city life as was known prior to the Avars and Slavs stopped existing afterwards, except for the...

What does the Illyrians have in common with the idea of a south-east Balkan homeland and expansion point for E-V13? Based on language and other things among the rest, the Thracians and the Illyrians were totally unrelated people. Plus, they weren't even neighbours for the most part and the only...

Any info about this I26702? Where did you get the info about it being E-Y16729?

One other point that goes against the continuous presence of the Eastern Romance people on the territory of modern Romania is their Christian vocabulary. According to their Christian related vocabulary, the Eastern Romance people were baptised quite early, long before the South Slavic people for...

We can only speculate what these 'Cumans' looked like. Look at the modern Bulgarians, their name is derived from the Turkic Bulgars and yet, they don't have much Turkic dna too. It could be that these 'Cumans' might have had Turkic elite but the common people might have been mostly of...

Also as I was reading Capidan lately, he seems to find more old calque's and isogloses between Romanian and Albanian than between Aromanian/Meglen-Vlach and Albanian like for example the rotacism r -> n which is more prevalent in Romanian and Istro-Romanian than in the other two eastern Romance...

Although this is true, some people's interpretation is wrong regarding this. Even though Meglen Vlach is closer to Romanian than Aromanian is to Romanian, it's still closer to Aromanian than Romanian. Theodor Capidan has made extensive analysis regarding these languages and found more isogloses...

Well thx for showing your true colors, proper Balkan chav, in 21st century denying the right of some nations to exist. Maybe you should try find some more appropriate site where you can heal your megalomaniac frustrations. Anyway, your nation had the chance to be the leader that will unite the...

I don't know how did this ended up with the Serbian medieval kingdom from just an ordinary question if the person is a descendant of colonists or native. No I am not an Albanian I am Slavic Macedonian, my mother tongue is Slavic Macedonian, I don't know what you're on about. The country's name...
