What is known is that Chernyakov culture were rather Gothic/Dacians, from a cultural point of view.
The Chernyakov culture people gave most migrants from 600-700 AD migration, called "Slavic".

What I understand is that certain lineages of said culture became germanic (through assimilation) while others finished their ongoing ethnogenesis process and became slavic. Would it be right to call it a Proto-Slavic culture then ?

Well, protoSouthSlavic.
Born from Gothic Tribes and Dacian Tribes and maybe some Celtic tribes, that were there.
But those "Gothic" people were mixture of Goths and West Slavs :) .They were speaking East Germanic (which seems that Dacians spoke also) and had Gothic lifestyle.
East Slavs already existed.
How someone can make a difference between Gothic tribes and West Slavs on DNA and North Dacians, do not ask me.
DNA testing is not advanced enough, for the moment.
Another DNA fact, is that most Poles have some Baltic DNA and most Ukrainians have some East Balkanic DNA :) .
Things were very complicated North of Danube, with Dacian Tribes, Gothic Tribes (between which seems to have existed a strong overlapping, but they were a little different), Scythians, Sarmatians, SE Europe Celts, West Slavic people being present. Is clear that Dacians were in contact with Greeks and Illyrians and Romans :) .
That being till 600-700 AD.
 
I think that R1b (especially Z2103, "Eastern" branch) might be pretty common among ancient Dacians.
U106 (and I1), P312 may be not present or have pretty low frequency due to presence of early Germanic or Celts in the region.

E1b-V13 also might be popular. There also might be relatively large amount of G2a and J2.

I2 (especially I-Y3120) and R1a (at least Z282) should be absent in my opinion, they most probably came with Slavs, some Z93 might be present among Dacians.
 
Well,Slavic countries is about the mother tongue.
From my point of view, the "Slavic migrations" from 600-700 AD were people that were previously Gothic speakers,that moved in ex-Yugo lands, but now, they were speaking some West Slavic derived language.
The Gothic tribes were found till in West Poland and current DNA testing is not so advanced, to make a difference between West Slavic and Gothic and North Dacians people.
What is known is that Chernyakov culture were rather Gothic/Dacians, from a cultural point of view.
The Chernyakov culture people gave most migrants from 600-700 AD migration, called "Slavic".
For a newcomer that kind of stuff i think it's pretty 'heavy'. Also, why people's tend always to not stay in its own dedicated 'yard' and just jump the neighboard fence ? The topic is about PEOPLES OF ANCIENT DACIA, 2000 -3000 years ago, so what's with the 'vlachs', slav migrations of 600-700's, and other far too recent evidences ? Please be consistent with the genetic science and thus with the TMRCA of the specific (sub)clades to be correlated with specific cultures and ages. Is any clear facts to be take into consideration or countless enumerations of 'AZTYUU-9361242 numbers', which means nothing to the main 99,99999% of the readers ? Also, can we be consistent with the phylogeographer.com migrations datas, which in my opinion is the most up-to-date platform for the genetic factor ? Looking there, I saw no specific 'marker' for Dacia/Getia population for E haplogroup, which is really weird (besides a damn low-uploading graphic !). BTW, I consider the E branch, the most important one from all, because it's an established fact that E means GREEK CIVILIZATION, and this means further, our modern day actuality. And IMHO in this area the best thing is to make an analytic approach, just like in a basic computer language, where notions of IF, THEN, ELSE, AND,OR, etc would be the best solutions to see the 'grand picture' for us. Can somebody try to do this ? Unfortunately I'm not so experimented with the 'phylogenetic' part, so can't help. And for my romanian fellows just a (romanian) question: cand in parastasu' masii de treaba vom putea raspunde la intrebarea seculara, daca nu milenara, CINE AU FOST DACO-GETII ?????????????? Mai trebuie 1000 de ani, gen treaba cu autostrazile neterminate de 30 de ani ??
P.S. Also for my romanian speaking pals, what documentation do you suggest for this theme, books, google, etc, to be in-line with the subject (even in archaeological perspective, cultures, authors, researchers, old and new, etc ) ?
 
Well Dacian tribes and some SE Celtic tribes are the people from Dacia, from 2000-3000 yrs ago.
In regards to I, it is said that Oltenia is most pure Dacian ancestry and they have almost 10% I1,so , is possible that Dacians also had I1.
I2-din - appeared 2200 yrs ago, so it is possible that even I2-din was present 2000 yrs ago,in Dacia.
The Dacians might have been:
According to mr Hasdeu they spoke a Satem language, either related to Albanian, either related to Balto-Slavic.
According to Jordanes Dacians were speaking East Germanic and Goths were some more Northern Dacian tribes.
Either that the Dacians were speaking East Germanic either that the Dacians were speaking Satem, clearly they had R1A.

I2-din - if some Dacians tribes migrated till NW Poland and they actually brought I2-din there?
Since most diverse I2-din is in Carpathians from Moldavia .
So Dacians might have also had I2.
A thing about E is that is present in quite significant percentages till in Ukrainian highlanders, so I suppose the inhabitants of Dacia from 2000-3000 yrs ago also had E paternal lines.
R1B - clearly from Scythians and Celts, that were assimilated as Dacians, clearly present in Dacia,2000-3000 yrs ago.
About R1B-U106 - even 5-6% of paternal lines of Romania. Is not possible to be brought by West Germanics, so that should be of Dacians origin, since I doubt SE Celtic tribes and Scythians had such Y DNA.
Daca s-ar putea gasi limba dacilor, ar fi un inceput.Autostrazi, da,sunt bune, par egzample când se sapa pentru a se construi Autostrada Transilvania s-au facut diverse descoperiri arheologice.
Deci si constructia de autostrazi poate duce la descoperiri referitoare la daci :) .

so there is no knowledge of what the dacians spoke before speaking Latin ?

There might be, but the Romanian state and Romanian historians are not aware of these documents or evidences, of what language the Dacians have spoken.
These documents might be kept in some archives and it would be quite difficult to search for these documents.
Thing is that Dacians had the Firtree as a holy tree and they ate lots of pork and they had a ritual to sacrifice a pork, on winter solstice.
So is quite a small possibility that the Dacians have spoken a language related to Illyrian/protoAlbanian.
The higher probability is that the Dacians have spoken either a language related to Balto-Slavic, either an East Germanic language.
Both the Gothic language and the Balto-Slavic languages have lots of vowels.
Gothic language is a very Southern Germanic language,which had few intelligibility with Old Norse and some intelligibility with some West German languages.
So, as said, either that the Dacians spoke East Germanic either that some or most Dacians spoke some kind of Balto-Slavic (are also plenty of common cultural customs between BaltoSlavs and Romanians) they should have had R1A.
The supposition that Dacians spoke some language close to the Illyrians is not supported, even if Romanian and Albanian are having like 300 common words, that are not of Latin or Greek or Slavic origins.

from what I read......the Dacians spoke an illyrian-thracian language mix before the celts arrived in there area ......while their eastern neighbours the Getae spoke purely a Northern thracian language.
I need to re-find the romanian linguistic paper link somewhere here in eupedia, so you can read it

Yes, please post the link. On the other way, you're right. My opinion is that the dacians were close related to getae, but not similar, as many historians think. They've got different influences and in different 'quantities'.

'it is said that Oltenia is most pure Dacian ancestry'. I have same intuitive opinion, but unfortunately it lacks scientific evidences. That can easily be resolved with only a minor implication from officials; but, off course, no chance for such an individualistic and materialistic people. Sorry, but that's a fact. Nobody real wanted before, and nobody want now, after 'commie era', to start some ample researches in this direction, despite the huge funds EU made available for years...there is no ancient prelevated DNA for this purposes which can solve the question. If you can't siphon/steal some public money why bother for such endeavor ?
'Either that the Dacians were speaking East Germanic either that the Dacians were speaking Satem, clearly they had R1A.' How's that ? I don't see any scientific demonstration till now. From you're perspective dacians were a mix of DNA peoples, ideea that i don't support. Maybe late dacians, from Burebistas to Decebalus, after they mixed with many others (celts, scythians, etc), but the 'old' ones from 500BC were not ! Those 'proto'dacians have to be taking really into account. And from that perspective needs to be compared with the other thracians from south Danube, the 'original' thracians. Again, nobody seems to have any work in this direction.
'About R1B-U106 - even 5-6% of paternal lines of Romania. Is not possible to be brought by West Germanics, so that should be of Dacians origin, since I doubt SE Celtic tribes and Scythians had such Y DNA.' I don't see the logic here.
Si da, ar fi grozav sa stim care a fost limba dacilor, in sfarsit, dupa atatea supozitii. La cata preocupare exista nu vad nicio sansa in viitorul apropiat. Am fost de fata cand s-au facut descoperiri la autostrada, am facut si fotografii (ce inspiratie !), dar cam atat. Nu a existat nicio ulterioara comunicare, prezentare sau continuare a investigatiilor. Tipic romanesc. Adica v-ai s-amar !

Are you finished with these bullshit, comrade ?
 
Because they share an identical haplotype indicating low TMRCA.


They are indeed under L23 but they are all L51+ and Z2103-! Also all bar one R-U152 are under Germanic U106. And one of those L2's is my supposed distant cousin from maternal line.






So it is the opposite in this sample as well as in other Romanian samples R-L51 (Western) totally dominates the R-Z2103 (Eastern). On a sample of 60 ethnic Romanian R1b's from this and other studies only 18 can be classified as Z2103 (though one might be PF7562) and 42/60 (70 %) are safely R-L51.


R1b is robust in ethnic Romanians but Z2103 is not. Higher R-L51 is likely due to Roman, Germanic, earlier (pre-Celtic) Urnfield and Celtic influences.


Two from that sample are R-Z2705 dys392=11 and they have Southern origin, there is another of this cluster from another study.


Of others R-Y14300 is present (TMRCA 1950 ybp of two Romanians). R-FGC14590, including in that sample. And also few likely R-Y4364. These might be trail of an ancient proto-Phrygian/Armenian movement before they reached Asia Minor.


If one goes by Baltic connection maybe Z2103 is not originator of Thracian/Dacian language but finding suitable clades is not easy. Not long ago in a Serb one basal R-S24902* appeared with no relatives closer than 4400 ybp, and this clade doesn't seem Slavic at all.




Well it's not too much of a mystery how it got there just how it expanded. In that sample there I got one cousin from Cluj who is among the most distant members of my own cluster and that area looks like my own distant home. Generally Carpathian area is place of great diversity of CTS9320 clades in general. Up to 4 basal clades of Z17107+, Z38456- including my own. Several clades of BY4526. Few Z16988's too. Some S19928's (one BY4518 cluster and one Romanian BY451:cool:, one E-Z17264 Ashkenazi clade from W.Ukraine (but with a match in Spain so not sure where are they from) and also in Romanians from other studies there are two CTS9320* clades (neither is yet on YFull), they both have close matches in Bulgarians. One looks actually Dacian because there is a Szekely and 3 Romanians and only 1 Bulgarian and 1 Macedonian. So CTS9320 with TMRCA of 3000 ybp is almost certainly connected to either Gava or Basarabi (or both) cultures. In Dolj all 6 V13's look likely CTS9320. And one is certainly CTS9320*. That sample includes one Y3183*. One is likely E-Y35953, at least one FGC11450, many are hard to classify on those 19 STR's etc. There is some diversity of Z5018 in Romania too.

Most likely E-V13 ultimately stems from Cetina culture as has been suggested before, interestingly this culture had Corded Ware (so R-Z280) influence and its burial practices included equal amount of cremation and inhumation, unusual in comparison to many contemporary cultures around.




Actually 8 are M458 because one L260+ is identical to one "M17" so that must be a mistake as they are both from Cluj and have a distinct haplotype.
In that sample no less than 6 from Dolj are R-YP611>YP3987 while the two from Cluj are also R-YP611>YP3987 just a different cluster. As you can see on YFull YP3987 is currently entirely populated by Serbs from a numerous cluster from Bosnia and Western Serbia. Also it seems a more distant YP3987 is found in Aromanians and a Greek.

Of M458's 3 seem L260, rest CTS11962+. Generally clades like these are Slavic. For some older "Baltic" connection one has to look at some Z92's or some other Z280's that occur in Lithuanians or Latvians.





There is a Basarabi cluster in that study which is likely of recent Southern origin as it matches Albanians, Greeks etc. Others may have older presence actually.







Whenever you see a cluster dotted with Eastern European flags while being distantly related to various older Middle Eastern clades with a low TMRCA you are likely looking at Jewish cluster. I haven't even checked but I bet it is Jewish.







In terms of some cluster having diversity in Dacia while being younger and expansive CTS9320's come to mind. In Ruthenians for example (sample 200 in a study) if one takes away I2a Din's, R1a's, I1's E-V13 rises to 38 % (and more on their FTDNA project). Doing same in Lvov sample from Ukraine makes E-V13 20 %. Ofc few R1a's are not Slavic. For example Albanians have high V13 but also low Slavic influence, once that is taken into account others catch up as Albanians have lowest Slavic Y-DNA influence. Many J2a/J2b's might be local too. R-L23* and likely few older R-L51's who arrived there in LBA/EIA. Possibly few R1a's with Baltic links too but very hard to identify those for now.

Thank you, first time seeing this reply, as I'm not coming often here.
Hopefully in 2020, we will get closer to the Y-DNA of Dacians. Apparently David Reich's lab is working on Roman period samples from the border of Moesia and Dacia, which were likely very similar if not the same people.
Unsurprisingly, leaked data suggests that most of the males fall under E-V13, with a minority of J-L283 and R-Z2103.

So the picture is getting clearer. The next mystery is J2a, as it makes up about 70% of the J2 in Romania. Minoans and Myceneans had J2a in them, and considering that Minoans spoke a non-Indo-European language, perhaps it was carried by a wave of Anatolians during the Copper Age. Ancient J2a samples close to Romania were found in:


  • Hungary (around lake Balaton): I1902, Lengyel, 4800-4500 BCE
  • Croatia (next to the border with Serbia): I5078, Sopot, 4692-4546 calBCE
  • Hungary (central): BR-2, Kyjatice Culture, Hungary BA, 1270-1110 BC
  • Ukraine (central): MJ-16, Western Scythian, 788-413 BC

Well that was expected, Daco-Thracian areas have much higher ratio of E-V13 to J-L283 than Illyrian areas.. And even with less people tested V13 under CTS5856 is more diverse there.

Ossetian CTS9320* strikes the mortal blow to the idea that this hg is anything other than Daco-Mysian in origin, even proto-Dacian. Ossetian CTS9320* will never fit into any Illyrians..
Daco-Thracian language might have been spread by R-Z93 and CTS9320 if it is a later language (post-Mycenean collapse).

J2a is complicated, and I know the most common Romanian haplotype of J2a is not what you might imagine:
12 23 14 10 13-17 11 15 11 14 11 31 17 14 20 9 15 9 21

J-Y18402

This cluster is found in various Roma populations in high percentage. Out of 34 Romanian J2a's from studies this cluster is found in 7. Not some wonder as there are 10 H-M52 from studies in Romanians..

J2a is very diverse in Romania and some haplotypes look definitely local.

To be precise, Linear A and Cretan hieroglyphs have not been deciphered yet so all we can say is that the Minoan language is unclassified.

Yes, but M67 suggest a non-Indian origin in Romas. So they picked it from somewhere else, either along the migration way out of India or in Southeast Europe. I actually just posted this question on M67 on another forum, so if you excuse me, I'll just copy paste to make things easier for me.

"Do we know which cultures spread J-M67 to Europe? I know that at least some of the M67 in Europe was determined as a founder lineage of non-Indian origin in Roma, so they picked it up somewhere. But which culture spread it before them?

"Three non-Indian lineages (I-P259, J-M92, and J-M67) were defined as founders. The founder lineages J-M92 and J-M67 are present in both Roma and hosts, as well as in the populations found in the Roma migration way out-of-India." Source

And by migration way populations, they refer to those primarily in Caucasus and Turkey, quoting this study from below.

"The J-M67*, J-M92, and J-M102 representatives reflect more distinctive origins and dispersal patterns. Whereas J-M67* and J-M92 show higher frequencies and variances in Europe (0.40 and 0.32, respectively) and in Turkey (0.32 and 0.30, respectively than in the Middle East (0.17 and 0.09, respectively), J-M102 shows its maximum frequency in the Balkans.

J-M67* and J-M92 could have arrived in Europe from Anatolia via the Bosphorus isthmus, as well as by seafaring Neolithic populations who reached southern Italy. J-M67* and J-M92 could represent, at least in part, the Y-chromosome component that found to correlate with the distribution, from Anatolia toward Europe, of archaeological painted pottery and anthropomorphic figurines.
On the other hand, J-M67– and J-M102–related lineages have been observed in Pakistan and India; thus, they probably have marked other migratory events." Source


The supplementary data from Finnochio et al., 2018 suggests that J-M67+ is quite popular around Greece, Italy and Turkey.

By the way, 11 H-M52 in 1100 samples is not a lot, at least not by my metric.
 
Yes, but M67 suggest a non-Indian origin in Romas. So they picked it from somewhere else, either along the migration way out of India or in Southeast Europe. I actually just posted this question on M67 on another forum, so if you excuse me, I'll just copy paste to make things easier for me.

Well this cluster was likely picked up somewhere along the way, possibly Caucasus as closest relatives of this subbranch are Caucasian.

Well it is generally a minor element, not a surprise considering high Roma population there and absent from many areas.

J-M92 on the other hand seems rare in Romania, only a handful of haplotypes from the studies.
 
Btw I was just going through some haplotypes in ethnic Romanians. Of Romanian non-Slavic/non-Germanic hg's I can easily identify at least about 25 subclades/genetic clusters where ethnic Romanians have recent medieval ties with Bulgarians, Greeks, Aromanians, Albanians, and vast majority of those cannot possibly be of Dacian origin due to basal diversity of these hg's. Dacians were not largely romanised, many were killed in war, some were resettled around the Balkans and elsewhere, Free Dacians eventually were assimilated by Slavic, Germanic, Turkic waves..

What is interesting is that Romanian clusters of Balkan origin form the significant portion of their Paleo-Balkanic Y-DNA. Where you find Y-DNA lineages of Dacian or Getic origin usually they are isolates, and usually they cluster with some Hungarians, Ruthenians, Western Ukrainians, while proto-Romanians who brought the Romance language from the Central-Eastern Balkan area cluster with the Balkanites.

It makes sense that these Balkan Romanian clusters are more numerous as the people who were bringing the language with them are of course the nucleus of a nascent ethnicity.

And only about 120 ethnic Romanians/Moldovans have STR's at FTDNA, I had to use 740 haplotypes from about 6 studies to get a better picture.

Likely Basarab dynasty belonged to J-L283>Z1043* , because it was the most common Basarab haplotype (9) and the only Basarab genetics found in more than one region, Gorj and Sibiu. They have relation to Albanian Thaci-Korbi cluster, some Greeks etc. So this cluster (among few others) signifies some of those shared Romanian-Albanian words.
 
But the proto-romanians were in fact the old north Danube (original Dacia area before conquest) latinized dacians who retreated alongside the romans south Danube (Dacia Aureliana, Moesia Superior, Serdica, Bulgaria), which in medieval times formed the so-called vlachs. So, even south of Danube they have north Danube ancestry. Dacia Aurelie was afterward divided into two: Dacia Mediterranea and Dacia Ripensis.


And what's your opinion on the romanian Transylvania ancestors related to dacians (that area was also inhabited by dacian tribes) ?


I'l respond to you here. There should have been romanized Dacians who retreated from Dacia. Ofc some romanized Dacians staying in Dacia and keeping their Roman language in spite of Huns, Gepids, Slavs etc is very unlikely. And ofc Roman occupation lasted only 170 years.. There were Daco-Getae who still spoke their language up until 5th century, and really there is no evidence romanized Dacians outnumbered Carpi and the likes. Plus many Dacians were killed by the Romans. Carpi and the likes had bigger chances of keeping Dacian than romanized Dacians keeping their Roman language. And ofc regarding Albanian. Albanian has heavy Latin influence, not something Carpi or Costoboci should have had.


I think there might be some earlier Romance speaking presence in Transylvania, they argue often about Menumorut, his identity etc. Also Sermesianoi might have played some role if its about some early Romance speakers. Genetically it seems Transylvania has more of "indigenous" people. Romanians have high R-L51 percentage, around 9.5 % (sample 865 FTDNA + studies with STRs including Moldovans here), while their R-Z2103 is 3.7 %. Romanians have much higher L51 than neighboring populations (there are few PF7563 but minor). There are some U106 there, not the majority it seems. Some are Urnfield people who migrated 3000 years ago (So these should be Dacian). Many should be Celtic, and also Romans proper.


Bulgarians have only 4.3 % R-L51 ,1.2 % U106 (Karachanak et al), which is higher than in Serbs, and especially Albanians. Hungarians have pretty high R-L51 as well.


Many Romanian E-V13s seem migrants from the South but also many seem like locals and most cannot be classified (likely more locals as they have no matches). And it seems CTS1273 started spreading from Romanian territory so there might be some old clades there.
