Where does the Albanian language come from? [VIDEO]

Sometime 800-900 AD, early Albanians moved west, and mostly settle over the Kruja-Komani habitat, some the southern groups though did not have much encounter with the Kruja-Komani people, and it shows through the low frequency of J2b.

Using formal methods and beginning with the autosomal composition of Albania, the Southern Arc papers argue against any statistically significant population shift in Albania.

Archetype0ne demonstrated with formal methods that Albanians cannot be descended from a group that did not resemble the Çinamak Iron Age population. In actuality, folks from post-medieval northern Albania have the same genetic profile as those from Çinamak.

No Albanian E-V13 has been discovered in the eastern Balkans. E-V13 exhibits comparable diversity to all other important Albanian haplogroups, and its TMRCA among Albanians cannot be less significant than that of J-L283, R-Z2103+, or R-PF755+.

The majority of Albanian J2b-L283 is under PH4679, which formed around 1478 BCE and has a TMRCA of around 1278 BCE. Albanians are present in virtually all major subclades. This is a lineage that has always been part of the Albanian people; it is clearly of Illyrian origin, and its distribution east of Dardania is implausible.

There is absolutely no possibility that anyone could argue that J-PH4679 was "assimilated" by Albanians between 500 and 900 CE, given that Albanians are present in all major subclades of this lineage. A subclade that joins a population at a later time is only partially and never fully represented in this manner. Moreover, as per J-L283, Albanians have a relatively high overall diversity. How exactly can Albanians "assimilate" J-L283 from various major clades that are more than 4,000 years apart by simply going to Albania?

R-M269 in EBA Albania is very likely under R-PF7562, whereas R-Z29758+ individuals with a TMRCA of approximately 2300 BCE have Albanians belonging to all major subclades. Over ninety-five percent of the samples on yfull are Albanian. This haplogroup is completely absent from the eastern Balkans. How exactly could Albanians "from the east" assimilate all R-Z29758+ clades that diverged over 4000 years ago? R-PF7562+ peaks in Apulia in southern Italy, so its presence among Iapygians is not surprising. We already know that Daunians had R-M269+, therefore it's likely that they also have R-PF7562+ and/or R-Z2103+ (CTS1450?)

R-CTS1450+ is found in IA Albania and is closely related phylogenetically to R-Z2705 and R-Y10789*. It is quite evident that this lineage did not originate in the "east." It was already in Albania during the Iron Age and was carried by Illyrians.

https://anthrogenica.com/showthread...n-of-Albanians&p=868609&viewfull=1#post868609 is Trojet's anthrogenica analysis.

Phylogenetically, Albanians did not originate from the east, but have instead inhabited the same territories since the LBA. It is impossible to explain Albanian phylogeny in any other way, and there is solid evidence connecting western Balkan aDNA from Albania to modern Albanian phylogeny; therefore, stop posting opinions that disregard all studies, samples, diversity, and everything else that has been learned through research. This debate is far beyond such "theories."

LOL the mentality, impossible, always there, hater. Don't worry Exine, eventually there will be samples from the tri-border region and you'll end up in a mental institution with a stray jacket on uttering some nonsense about ancient purity, uninterrupted linear continuity.
 
Kruja has an albanian etymology from krua/kroi (eng water spring). Kruja was first attested as a toponym by the byzantines in the 7th century AD as Κροαί (kroai). This means that albanian speakers have been in Kruja at least since the ~600 AD. Being way up in the mountain we can push its settlement even earlier (you need time to get there and settle) witch is confirmed by 5th and 6th century cemeteries with weapons found inside. What probably happened is that during the raids from Goths, Avars, Huns and Slavs starting in the 4th centyry AD, peoples from Albanopolis looking for shelter started moving up in the mountain in Kruja witch is just 4 km away in staight line.

I'd rather trust Johane than some Brumi dough boy wikipedia entry, who is notorious for making up fictional dates and just straight up forgery.

Oldest yet confirmed Albanian word is from 879 AD, the name of Kruja written as "Κροῶν" which has etymology of Albanian. "krua" [spring, source (of water)].

Yeah, better trust an anonymous on twitter than Gjergj Fishta and Robert Elsie. But anyway what johane posted doesn't negate/disprove an earlier attestation.
 
Besides the Iron Age CTS1450 samples we also have a Late Antiquity CTS1450 sample from Timacum Minus. ‘East’ in company of three V13s and three L283s - all six belonging to the same Balkans IA cluster. Just a tad north of Nish. Probably local Dardanians.

Obviously R1b+V13 Albanoids assimilating L283 Illyrians in Albania makes no sense at all considering the current data.

Sorry, but I'm not the Serbian nationalist who asserts that Albanians arrived in Albania after 800 A.D. This is a ridiculous assumption that you're trying to spread. Obviously, it was not unbroken, but the essential component stayed the same; this is the point. Something you can't seem to grasp so instead you draw on a PCA and call yourself Lazaridis.
 
There are puppet accounts out here really arguing that "Zlatan" (interesting name dear "entertain") is a genuine account. Repetitive posts with the same rhetoric from multiple puppet accounts are not helping it. If the word obvious needs some prime example here it is.

One can make a point without the use of uncivilized manners or the opening of what 7,8,9 fake accounts? This is embarrassing.

Perhaps he is a fan of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. :p

Probably now is only V13 assimilating R1b and L283. Looks very remote as a scenario.

No you're just a bad example of Albanians, the dumb prole that has always held us back, the dead weight, there is a reason why the country remains the most backward in Europe. Truth is not an UnAlbanian value, it is to the defects that got subsidized by the Ottomans and Communists and now liter the internet the same way they do the streets of Tirana.

It's not but it is. You're so special. The Greeks lost their continuity, but the special you kept it. Maybe there's 1% Slavic but that's it.

This is supposed to be a "reply"? Thank you for showing once more that you have nothing at all to contribute to this discussion.

A quick note about Paleo-Revenge's blatant lie that there are no toponyms linked to Albanian in Albania before 700-900 CE.

Even Matzinger in Die Illyrer connects the name of the Taulantii with Albanian dallëndyshe etymologically:

Neben den Encheleern, deren Bezeichnung vom Aal stammt, tragen etwa die Taulantier ein Ethnonym, welches mit einer Bezeichnung für ‚Schwalbe' verbunden werden kann, wie sie z. B. in alban. dallëndyshe vorliegt. (page 120)

The Taulantii are attested for the first time in the 7th century BCE! It's very interesting that the earliest king of the Taulantii is Galauros in ancient Greek sources which is pronounced as Galavros and may have the same etymology as the Dardanian Galabri and Calabria of the Iapygians.

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

For the Roman era, both phonologically and etymologically the name of the river Mat attested as Mathis since the the 4th or 5th century AD in Vibis Sequester is Albanian.

So thank you once more Paleo-Revenge for copy/pasting such bad arguments that you give us again the chance to show how ludicrous these "theories" were even when no DNA studies existed.

Nonetheless, the linguistic discussion could never provide any definite answers because there's so little material and now it's become clear to everyone that linguistic speculations must follow DNA studies, hence Matzinger and many others are changing their theories. They didn't expect at all these results and so they are quickly trying to make up theories that can be reconciled with the DNA data.

PS Troll accounts have to work overtime but they can't convince anyone. It's over for you guys 🙂

No, they don't and stop playing around with fake G25 models to prove a point that makes no sense now that we know how southeast Thracians are like. I'm not even sure that you realize how big the difference is between Albanians and these southeast Thracians and how you can't replicate via qpADM any sort of feasible model which makes them related. The paper itself using formal methods argues against any non-Illyrian regional ancestry:

View attachment 13569

These are the "facts" that you keep ignoring written by Lazaridis and Reich themselves:

Didn't Lazaridis conclude that Mainland Greeks are 70% Mycenaean descendants? How much of that 70% is standing today? How did Albanians shift south after the Slavic migration? With magic?

Dude enough of this nonsense. You can't just pick any random ******* sample you want and mix match as you please. That's not these calculators work.

Wtf has gotten into you lately?

Come on man, you can do better than that. Still, my point here is proven: Kapitan Andreevo won't be picked by Albanians as a main source.

Anyway, you shouldn't use sources which are older than the immediately preceding period to model Albanians. You should just see for what we're discussing if Albanians have ancestry from late Roman/early medieval Albania or Bulgaria or Anatolia or wherever or combine IA+Roman/early medieval samples from each area and see which sources Albanians pick up:

They definitely don't pick Bulgaria. Dalmatia might have been replaced by Dardania if we had sources from that area, but the main point is that Albania-Dalmatia-Dardania were probably very similar.

PS I didn't even use a Slavic source in the model and I got the same fit as when you used a Slavic source. This is how low Slavic admixture is in Albanians that we don't even need to add one.

Yeah, he's the dead weight, not you that makes up fake theories/migrations and can't bother to do 5 minutes of research and see that Geg/Tosk split in happened in antiquity.

It's not but it is. You're so special. The Greeks lost their continuity, but the special you kept it.

Greeks have some continuity. The issue is that Fushe-Kruje didn't become the capital of the Byzantine Empire where people from all around the world came to live.

The Dinaric Alps have isolated Albania for thousands of years, and the autosomal DNA in the Lazaridis study shows just that, mentioned by the authors themselves.
 
Why don't you model Albanians without a Thracian source and see how it works?

Are you that dense? Did you skip the whole "Roman Imperial" era?

Add Slavic admixture to Roman Imperial Illyrians and you get modern Albanians. The Iron Age Illyrians are pre-Roman.

In September alone, we had a major linguistic book putting Albanian under Illyrian, and a major genetic paper saying Albanians come from Illyrian stock.

But some of these deranged posters are accusing us of "nationalism" and "bias" while the authors of the paper are all western academics :LOL::LOL::LOL:

The Greek admixture is eating the Thracian one you used in one model. And around ~27% Mycenaean admixture could mean around 35% Thracian.
Try using averages instead of using just one (of the most distant samples). And Slavic admixture is essential, but you wont use it in the first model probably you get higher Thracian.

Roman Dalmatia has Eastern Mediterranean admixture and is closer to Thracians than to Mainstream Illyrians. In Roman Dalmatia sample you get very high Anatolian and/or Levantine which is not historically plausible for Albanians.
