Genetics confirm migration of White Croats to Croatia

The epithets "white" for Croats and their homeland Croatia, as well "great" (megali) for Croatia, is in relation to the symbolism used in ancient times. The epithet "white" is related to the use of colors for cardinal directions among Eurasian people. It meant "Western Croats", in comparison to lands where they lived before. The epithet "great" signified "subsequently populated" land, but also "old, ancient, former"[17] homeland for newly arrived Croats to the Roman province of Dalmatia.[18][19][20]
According to this White Croatia wasn't the original land of Croats at all. Being called White means that they were already on a move to current location, West from original position. Perhaps even in current or very close to current location, West location, White location.

Some think that term White means young because in the Slavic terminology white means young, old Croatia or Great Croatia was in the wider area of Carpathians, Ukraine and Poland and White Croatia is only her young remainder in southern Poland.

However genetics will show migration in that area and
after that we will be smarter because everything else is thinking which may or may not be accurate.

Linguists agree: Croats and Serbs speak the same language - Macedonian!

After their colleagues from other scientific fields published an amazing discovery, and linguists from the Institute "Franjo Arapovic" finally completed extensive research on the languages ​​of the South Slavs. And their findings deny even Miroslav Krleza.

- Croatian and Serbian are two separate languages, they are only dialects of the original language spoken by the South Slavs. Nearest the original South Slav Macedonians language so we can say that the Macedonian language is spoken in Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia, but in these countries only use a slightly different dialects. Just all these nations developed their little fun dialects - explained linguists in the conclusion of scientific work.

In the study by experts from the Institute "Franjo Arapovic" carefully examined the development of words paying special attention to the words that are not the same in Macedonia and one of the later formed dialects. A notable example of the word "ubavo", which, for example, Croats and Serbs took the word "good" in most of the Croatian or "good" in a large part of Serbia and Zagorje. At the same time the Macedonian words "beautiful" have given a new, completely opposite meaning by adding the letter G in front of it.

- Our research has no errors. I used to think that the Serbian and Croatian two separate languages, but I was wrong. This study and its conclusions are irrefutable. Serbs and Croats speak the same language - Macedonian - briefly commented linguist Sanda Ham.

Renowned linguists add an amendment regarding scientific article. They found that the Bulgarian language is not the same as Macedonian. With the help of historians have discovered that, for the dissemination of the old Slavic tribes Macedonians in Bulgaria probably gone and one Macedonian speech impairments so they Slavicized Bulgarians accepted fact Macedonian with a speech impediment, which today mostly in only slightly modified version.

How are the results of this research persuasive, and it shows as numerous universities worldwide, but the day after the publication was renamed the Department of South Slavic languages ​​at the Department of Macedonian language.

Ethnonyms Croat in toponymia..

When it comes to toponyms with a motivated Croatian name outside of Croatia, it is worth mentioning the village Hrvati (Croats) near Tuzla and Kladnja (Bosnia), as well as the Gornji i Donji Hrvati (Upper and Lower Croats) near Zvornik (Bosnia) in Podrinje(border between Bosnia and Serbia) from where the last Catholics left in Srijem and Bačka (Serbia) at the beginning of the 18th century. Under Avala(hill) in Belgrade (capital city of Serbia) until the 19th century there was exist Rvatsko Selo (Croatian village) at the beginning of the 19th century. On the way between Novi Pazar on Sandzak (Serbia) and Leposavic in Kosovo lies village Hrvatska (Croatia), and village Hrvatske Mohve (Croatian Mohve, after 1945 the village was renamed to Vučje Lokve). Near Podgorica ( capital of Montenegro) there was village of Rvatska Stubica (Croatian Stubica). In the area of ​ former Red Croatia (Part of Bosnia and Hecegovina, Montenegro and part of Albania) Croatian name was quite common during the Ottoman rule. Thus Spičani (the inhabitants of the area between Budva and Bar(Montenegro)) called themselves Red Croats, Porta called them Croats and their leader Croat. The Croatian name in the toponym is also confirmed in Ohrid, Prespa and Bitola (Macedonia), near the Marathon Field(Greece) and not far from Mycenae(Greece),

In all these areas there are also I2a types with mutation I-S17250.

Ethnonym Croatian at Azov
Among the names on the tablets are those of three men: Horoúathos, Horoáthos, and Horóathos (Χορούαθ[ος], Χοροάθος, Χορόαθος). Those names scholars interpret as anthroponyms of the Croatian ethnonym Hrvat.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanais_Tablets

For now around Azov there are this branches of I2a.

: I2a2 'Dinaric-S' (I-CTS10228>S20602/YP196 probably S17250+ and PH908+

I2a2 'Dinaric-Unassigned' (I-CTS10228>S20602/YP196

I2a2 'Dinaric' ..L621>CTS10228>S20602/YP196>S17250>Y4882 (I-Y4882)

I2a2 'Dinaric-N' (I-CTS10228>S20602/YP196)

https://www.familytreedna.com/public/I2aHapGroup/default.aspx?section=ymap

The Tablet A is the larger and older inscription, dated to 175-211 AD

If it is established that mentioned subclades come to the area of Azov before (175-211 AD) it would in fact mean that these subclades brought Croatian ethnonym to Azov and that Croatian ethnonym exist in southeastern Poland and southwestern Ukraine before two thousand years.

The personal names on the Tanais Tablets are considered as a proto-type of a certain ethnonym of a Sarmatian tribe those persons did descend from,] and as well today is generally accepted that the Croatian name is of Iranian origin and that can be traced to the Tanains Tablets.



If it turns out that these I2a subclades came before (175-211 AD) to Azov and that there was no return migration(Croatian name) to White Croatia it would in fact mean that .. The origin hypotheses of the Croats, Iranian theory is not true.

In 1861, in the statistical data about population in Volhynia governorship released by Mikhail Lebedkin, were counted Horvati with 17,228 people.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Croats

Volýn) is a historic region in Central and Eastern Europe straddling Poland, Ukraine and Belarus

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volhynia

We have one person with I2a I-S17250 in this area, Ukraine (id:YF01658)

https://yfull.com/tree/I-Y12911/

https://yfull.com/tree/I-S17250/

Common male ancestor with today Croatians that person has in subclade I-S17250 ( (White Croatia) which in fact means that migration of White Croatians to Volhynia probably starts parallel with beginning of Slavic migration to Balkans or possible in a later period.

It is also interesting to find Sungir 6 male in the same branch with Volhynia mutation.

https://yfull.com/tree/I-Z16971/

DNA analysis shows that the medieval individual Sungir 6 (730-850 cal BP) belong to mtDNA Haplogroup W3a1 and Y-DNA Haplogroup I2a1b2.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sungir

The calls show that Sungir 6 belonged to Y haplogroup I2a1b2a1a1a1a3-A16681.

https://genetiker.wordpress.com/y-snp-calls-for-sungir-6/

That person (Sungir 6) also has male ancestor(I-S17250) in White Croatia.

In the first group quoted we have a common ancestor R-L260 (4500 ybp) https://www.yfull.com/tree/R-L260/ Horvat from Hungary has sub-branch YP256 and Horvat from Slovenia and Czech Republic has sub-branch YP1337 since these two mutations are same age(2400 ybp) they probably have same source somewhere in Poland.

In the sub-branch YP1337 where iz Horvat from Czech Republic and Horvat from Slovenia there are two subclades in Croatia in Zadar County https://www.yfull.com/tree/R-Y132940/

What are the options?

Possible Croatian migration in the Turkish period.

But there is also a possibility of White Croatian migration in the later period when R1a M458 is mixed with remaining White Croats in South Poland and then they migrate to the surrounding countries. Why?? Because Croats in Croatia have less R1a M458, and it is strange that in such wide area persons with surname Horvat has this R1a M458. Normally there is a possibility that in northwestern Croatia R1a M458 prevails before arrival of the Turks.

In any case in the future we will know more.

These people are in the branch https://www.yfull.com/tree/R-YP235/

It is interesting that in this branch there is a mutation R-Y17488 with the person in the Lviv province, southwestern Ukraine .

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lviv_Oblast

And person in southern Poland in Svetokriška.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Świętokrzyskie_Voivodeship

While in sub-branche R-YP295 there is a person in southwestern Ukraine, Ivano-Frankivskaya oblast.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivano-Frankivsk_Oblast

Probably that these persons are related(we'll see in the future), ie Croatian and Herzegovinian mutations probably have a source in this area of southeastern Poland and southwestern Ukraine.
 
It is important to point out opinion of the Russian historian about the relationship between Croats and Serbs.

Denis Jevgenjevic Alimov, 38-year-old associate professor of Slavic and Balkan universities in St. Petersburg, author of the recently published an intriguing book "Croat Etnogenesis"-......Question.. Can it be said that Croats and Serbs in those ancient times were one tribe, that they arrived together in these lands?........Answer...With great certainty we can argue that even in those ancient times Croats and Serbs were not one tribe. They are bordered with each other, permeated for centuries, but there is no evidence that they ever were a common tribe or clan.

Croatian newspapers,


https://www.jutarnji.hr/life/znanos...radavna-vremena-nisu-bili-isto-pleme/6175906/


This is important to say from a historical point of view because genetics show that to Roman Dalmatia one tribe comes from one direction(Croats from White Croatia), Serbs are neighbors of White Croats who do not come to Roman Dalmatia, they come to Greece, they stay there for some time and from Greece they come to Roman Dalmatia, such genetic paths do not have inhabitants of today's Roman Dalmatia or Serbs, Montenegrins, Bosniaks etc.

De Administrando Imperio ("On the Governance of the Empire") is the Latin title of a Greek work written by the 10th-century Eastern Roman Emperor Constantine VII.

It should be known that the Serbs are descended from the unbaptized Serbs, also called 'white', who live beyond Turkey, in a region called by Boïki, where their neighbor is Francia

Now, after the two brothers succeeded their father in the rule of Serbia, one of them, taking one half of the folk, came as the refugee to Heraclius, the emperor of the Romaioi, and the same Emperor Heraclius received him and gave him a region in the theme of Thessalonica to settle in,

Then, after some time these same Serbs decided to depart totheir own homes

And since what is now Serbia and Pagania and the so-called country of the Zachlumians and Terbounia and the country of the Kanalites were under the dominion of the emperor of the Romaioi, and since these countries had been made desolate by the Avars (for theyhad expelled from those parts of the Romans who now live in Dalmatia and Dyrrachium), the emperor settled these same Serbs in these countries,

It is interesting that in Sanskrit exist and Croatian Slavic words, only candidate (for now) who brought those words to Sanskrit is haplotype R1a, Z93 branch.

https://cache.eupedia.com/images/content/R1a_migration_map.jpg

http://www.sutrajournal.com/sanskrit-in-croatia-from-sarasvati-to-hrvati-by-james-cooper



Sanskrit (/ˈsænskrɪt/; Sanskrit: संस्कृतम्, translit. saṃskṛtam, pronounced [sə̃skr̩t̪əm] (listen)) is a language of ancient India with a history going back about 3,500 years.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanskrit

This in fact means that archaic Croatian Slavic language was spoken before circa 4000 years ago and that part of words has remained unchanged to this day. It would be in time of Yamnaya culture.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamnaya_culture

YFull tree speaks that branch Z93 is formed 5000 ybp.

https://www.yfull.com/tree/R-Z93/

Branch L657 that came to India is formed 4200 ybp

https://www.yfull.com/tree/R-L657/

Why is not possible that it was "always" in Slavic and Balto-Slavic vocabulary? It is not secret that there was perhaps in ancient times Balto-Slavic-Indo-Iranian stage. And it's possible that both of them (Sanskrit and Slavic) picked up this words from ancient times, and no one "brought" it to Slavic. If anyone can prove that vulgar Slavic word "jebati" is derived from Sanskrit, then we should give him nobel prize. Since it's not derivation, but common inherited word from Proto-Indo-European language.

The striking similarities in Sanskrit and Russian indicate that during some period of history, the speakers of the two languages lived close together.

The linguistically proven facts show the amazing affinity of Russian and Sanskritlanguages, obviously pointing out that these two languages must have lived closed together in some periods of antiquity.

Only haplotype who could come from that common place to India is R1a Z93. Sanskrit is 3500 years old. There are many words which are similar in these languages and from time period when vocabulary was much smaller.

Sanskrit is an Old Indo-Aryan language. As one of the oldest documented members of the Indo-European family of languages, Sanskrit holds a prominent position in Indo-European studies. It is related to Greek and Latin

We see that migration of R1a Z93-Z94 is coming to Anatolia and Mitanni.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitanni

Mitanni is not far away from Greece. In Bulgaria we have ancient DNA
Kairyaka Necropolis
R1a1a1b2-F992
1750-1625 BC

The Y-SNP branch R1a-Z93 is defined by F992,

https://yhrd.org/tools/branch/R1a-Z93

In today Anatolia and Greece exist Z93, Z94 branches. So connection of Greek language with Sanskrit is probably through this connection or peoples which are coming from a common place.


Anatolians were Indo-European peoples of the Near East identified by their use of the Anatolian languages.[1] These peoples were among the oldest Indo-European ethnolinguistic groups, one of the most archaic, because Anatolians were the first or among the first branches of Indo-European peoples to separate from the initial Proto-Indo-European community that gave origin to the individual Indo-European peoples

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatolian_peoples

The Anatolian languages are an extinct family of Indo-European languages that were spoken in Asia Minor (ancient Anatolia), the best attested of them being the Hittite language.

Hittite (nešili) was the language of the Hittite Empire, dated approximately 1650–1200 BC,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatolian_languages

Luwian was among the languages spoken during the 2nd and 1st millennia BC by groups in central and western Anatolia and northern Syria

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luwian_language

I do not know when people with R1a Z93, Z94 exactly come to Anatolia (whether with Turks or earlier) but very likely part of them coming in time of beginning of these oldest Indo-European language in that area.

First of all, Lithuanian is a very old language. It is related to Sanskrit (a classical language of India) Latin and Ancient Greek.

http://www.lsk.flf.vu.lt/en/department/courses-for-foreigners/lithuanian-language/

There is no direct migration from areas where they speak Sanskrit to Anatolia or elsewhere (Greek, Latin language) so their common bond is somewhere else. Possible is in the area of origin Z94 branch (Andronovo_culture).
But original, first connection must be in Yamnaya culture because every quoted language is on its side of the world, only genetic link for all these languages is Yamnaya.

  • Pre-Greek (2500 BCE)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-European_migrations#Proto-Indo-Europeans

This is evolutionary tree of Indo-European branches from wikipedia.

However if we follow YFull tree subclade R-Z94 is formed 4700 ybp, R-Z93 is formed 5000 ybp, R-Z645 is formed 5500 ybp and R-M417 is formed 8600 ybp.

This means that common ancestor of Balto-Slavs and people who spoke original Sanskrit lived around 5500 ybp (R-Z645). It is evident that these Slavic words which exist in Sanskrit were spoken at least 5500 years ago. Because no one could bring these Slavic words to Sanskrit except people with mutation R-Z93,R-Z94.

Normally there are also R1b subclades, their migraton and languages but I specifically talk about Slavic language and migration of R1a people.

If YFull tree gives accurate information then Slavic words and language(among them and Croatian) exist in the time of the first Indo-European language (by wikipedia) "Pre-Anatolian" while on that scale Pre-Balto-Slavic is younger.

It's interesting and Pre-Tocharian language.

Tocharian, also spelled Tokharian(/təˈkɛəriən/ or /təˈkɑːriən/), is an extinct branch of the Indo-European language family. It is known from manuscripts dating from the 6th to the 8th century AD

In that direction also migrate people with R-Z94 but according to Eupedia it is in time period around 2000 BC, but according to wikipedia and David Anthony Tocharian is old 3700 BCE. I do not know direction of R1b migration to that area so I can not say wich people and from where bring that language if is really true that is old 3700 BCE.

Most likely, there was in ancient times Balto-Slavic-Indo-Iranian stage of language. Then why is weird if some languages are common for Sanskrit and Slavic? (*jebati , sansk. "yabhati", *ljubiti , sansk. "lyubhati")... etc...)

Where is that common stage, in which area?

5000 ybp one tribe is divided and part of tribe goes to the east (Z93, Indo-Iran). This mean that Balto-Slavs bring their Slavic language from Yamnaya because there last time see "Indo-Iranians" ie. when they were in the same house and when lived their common ancestor (R-Z645 5500 ybp). Therefore from that time (5500 ybp) they have no more contacts, so they could not exchange words in that "later contact" or stage as you claim.

Sanskrit is old 3500 years, this means that this stage (if it exists) of Lithuanian and Sanskrit language is somewhere in the time 4000 years ago in Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Kazakhstan? And from there Lithuanian language comes to Lithuania? For now I not seen R1a branches that come from Kazakhstan or that area to Lithuania.
