Where does the Albanian language come from? [VIDEO]

Was it? IIRC there were 3 L283 and 3 V13, I recall having to correct Riverman on this as well, over on Anthro.

That is incorrect. I remember there being at least 8 EV13's, but am not exactly sure, but don't have the spreadsheet on me. I will post it tomorrow.

I do have the link though to the paper stating they represent 47% of sampled individuals from 1-550CE

He was making lightweight jokes, this is very disgusting from your side, you are a complete retard writing this.

I upvoted this. Should have put a disclaimer or something on the end of my answer :LOL: Since he was asking in regards to "bosh" we say thatë/thât which I am assuming you guys in Presheve say too.
 
PS: Albanians in Macedonia outside of Tetovë and Shkup are not that religious. And even there, alcohol is not taboo outside of the more radicalized individuals. I suspect the whole thing like in some regions in Kosovë is a reactionary defense mechanism not to be assimialted.
In fact the Jannisary sect of Bektashism (highly Islamic/Christian syncretic) is or rather was quite popular locally.

For Dibër, Kercovë, Manastir* and Ohër* Albanians(whatever Albanians have not been assimilated or immigrated) religiosity is not the biggest priority in life. But we for sure have faith in God. You will not see us, unlike Macedonians and Serbs, say blasphemy such as "God is a Serb/Macedonian"... can't even tell if its sarcasm with them...

Nonetheless a lot of assimilation has taken place in North Macedonia over the centuries. Just look at some more recent calculator averages for Torbesh being the closest matches to Malësors. Whatever Albanians were living not in mountains/villages, but rather economic centers seem to have mixed culturally/linguistically, probably due to tax/trade/economic benefits over the centuries(or maybe whatever proto population Tobesh came from, by adopting Islam early got limited admixture to non local populations hence the autosomal resemblance to Malësors?). (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31351212/ for a peer reviewed study) (vahaduo for the Torbesh average)
 
Ave swe-slough!

As a Malsor, did you grandma also wear light-jacket (xhubleta, xhup lehta) upside as a dress? Interesting and mysterious Albanian traditions those of putting legs at the sleeves of a jacket, specifically a light one. Heavy jackets were discriminated because they impaired walking.

Matzinger: Albanian is not Daco-Thracian

Johane The Right: So, fascinatingly, a proto-Albanian language seems to have been spoken exactly within this region where this conservative mountain people seems to have been living in the pre-slavic period, thracians supposedly that began moving west in the 100s AD.


Did you read my post upside down due to being in Australia?

We’re talking linguistics and national consciousness here, not genetics. Plus, why would an E-V13 result not be to my liking? I’m loving it so far, thinking to order another one to boost my confidence again. It’s not like I’m R1a and autosomally 10-20% Middle Easterner like some Albanian speaking Kosovans.

10 to 20 % Middle Eastern? Seek help or something.
 
Bulatovic argues that there are suggestions in material culture of Bessi moving west in the 100s AD.


Interestingly, this culture overlaps with the toponyms Nish & Shtip, an area where a proto-Albanian speaking people is argued to have been living for a while prior to the Slavs.

Most fascinatingly, the Dacian king "Burebista" name has an Albanian component in the "bure-" directly related to Albanian. Burrë [man] while the -bista is argued to be cognate to greek. pistos.

Georgiev pretty much nails this etymology shut tight with the Greek name Pistandros (pistos + andros, andros means "man" in greek, so this is a direct correlate of the same name).

Viminacium had overwhelming E-V13 and no L283 from what I see.
I got it mixed with Timacum Minus which had an even 3-3 split.

I wonder if we can deduce anything from this? Not sure about the context of the two settlements but surely this can give insight into where E-V13 was abudnant, and where and when L283 and E-V13 met in even share as a middle ground?

Edit: Even more interestingly Timacum Minus reflects modern Albanian genetics quite well 3-3-2 is roughly similar to todays Albanian YDNA of V13-L283-Z2103...

Yea I should have been more specific. It is usually the ones from Shkup. Haven't met any Tetovar personally but those I've spoken with seemed pretty even keel.

Viminacium was a massive military settlement during the Roman era in which these samples are from so they don't really represent the locals of the region or any continuity. Those E-V13s could be from anywhere in the Balkans
 
Seems you are right.

Yes. They were overwhelmingly E-V13. The pathway of I15548 J2b-L283>Z631+ should be quite interesting. I have not actually really looked into this but can someone enlighten me on their auDNA?

Have not read the paper in a long time, much less the auAnalysis, which for the paper was trash tier.
But the more robust part of the analysis, IIRC, equivalated L283 and V13 with the paleo-Balkanic local complex. And also identified around the 9th century in Kuline Slavic autosomal introgresion with I2a1-Dinaric, and earlier than that during Impeprial Rome, Eastern Ancestry (Whether of Anatolian or ME autosomal was not obvious since the sample they used as proxy was a yet unpublished Marathon sample). There was even a West Afrian in there somewher :D, quite the adventurer the fella.

I mean the Roman Empire was quite big so does not really surprise me. What a bummer. Papers like these make me angry just like the low resolution of the J2b-L283s in the Daunian paper. I kind of have developed a slightly irrational fear that low resolution samples might also be present in the Southern Arc paper :LOL:

Also, I2a1-Slavic*
 
As a side note wanted to chime in on the eastern ancestry that was being debated upthread.
For the most part Ottomans did not resettle Albanian speaking regions, and as such not only do Albanian have very limited Ottoman ancestry if any, but also people that have Ottoman traditions and legends about their origin often times get disproven by genetics in the region.
The fact remains though that an Eastern admixture event happened much earlier during Imperial times, which signature can be noticed using modern amateur calculators.

As an example I plot quite Northern, which is surprising given my maternal line is fully south Albanian going 4-5 generations. The weird part is that on some calculators I can have as much as 15-20% PPNB* ancestry! While also having up to 20% Baltic! That is quite a paradox. I have given my opinion over my admixture in various threads here and over at anthrogenica. One way to look at it is that is a simplification/artifact of the calculator and an overfitting model. Another way to look at it is that if these are not just placeholders facilitating an overfit, then logically a 20% Northern Pull and a 20% Southern Pull would leave me in place :D

*So the real issue is about having exact definitions without which any argument is in vain. What we consider Eastern or even Middle Eastern Admixture? Anatolian Neolithic or Pre Pottery Neolithic? If so that admixture has very little to do with modern populations in the East/Middle east.

That troll quite clearly meant it in a derogatory way so modern Middle Eastern DNA that entered via the Ottomans.

This is quite interesting my father gets only 14.87% Baltic on calculators I am on the low 15% site. There was this post on anthrogenica recently where supposedly some Mirditor had only 9% scratching on that 10 percentile. We also get more North Atlantic than the reference population for Kosovo. We are from Ulpiana by the way so Rrrafshi Prishtines but the South of it.

I mean the admixture calculators are not always legit.

Edit: the slightly North West pull in some Gegs is quite interesting given the ancient Illyrian auDNA we know of. I also get more IA West Balkans in calculators.

Yes it might be a calculator relic. Think I also posted in that thread.
But also on such calculators that might lack the appropriate pops to be more accurate (which in itself is quite a subjective matter) 15-22% Baltic is quite common form Albanians from Malesi / Male te Zi. So normally 9% is bound to happen as an outlier given a normal distribution.

Seems alot of Albanians claimed Ottoman origin because it brought benefits within the empire. Nice privilege and opportunity etc. But the problem to also consider is that much of what was Ottoman was actually native Balkan.

The Ottomans like the Bulgars were a minority of actual asiatic origin that gave their name and rule to wider local tribes. Only difference is Ottomans imposed their language and Bulgars took Slavic.

In regards to the area of Koxhaxhik in Macedonia, we have a guy who is a typical Albanian YDNA despite the region largely identifying as Turk/Torbesh. No one really left there though as I understand it.
 
Pretty obvious Ottoman or Middle Eastern family legends are just (a pathetic tbh) way to elevate the status of a family, in order to make it more special, unique, and exotic. I don't think Aspurg was completely serious in everything he wrote, he was obviously trolling a lot, but the problem is that he wasn't even funny so he just came across as stupid.

Perhaps some geographic or cultural constructs favored some genetic isolates. I have actually also seen 11% of Baltic in another Gheg but don't recall what area he was from.

Yes. It gets quite confusing especially with Torbesh / Sherli / Muslim Macedonians who claim Ottoman/ Turkish descent. If one can not find meaningful Ottoman / Turkish ancestry in them, finding such in Albanophone population is a very long shot. Leaving this paper here again, as it really paints it in quite black and white terms https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31351212/

I like how these yugo "scientists" just spit out macro haplogroups instead of subclades in the opening letter or completely ignore the ethnic affiliation component. Saying just I2 instead of I2a-Slav gives of the wishful impression that it does not have anything to do with the R1a Slavic subclades. Major cringe vibes here.

Are you referring to K13?

Alot of these calculators produce wonky results. Also, the Torbesh sample group are only 4 individuals who are likely of Albanian extraction as they plot closer to Albanians than many Albanians do. Someone also posted a Mirditor sample on anthro and he comes up as North Italian mostly with most Albanians having large distances.

My guess is he's just an outlier.
