The only thread it came up while searching for Arbereshe, was one from 10 years ago.
This study is 2-3 years old and more detailed.Shows very graphically that modern Albanians weren't living in the country before 1500, and have little in common with the Albanians living in the country before 1500.

The Y-DNA of Arbereshe has changed because they are heavily mixed Italians.
Autosomally they cluster close with Albanians but are are more shifted in direction of South Italians.

So genetic dissimilarity between a Balkan population and their supposed relatives in Italy means that population consists of recent migrants. Genius logic! Too bad you did not bother reading the abstract: "The estimated proportions of genetic admixture confirm the tight relationship of Calabrian Arbereshe with modern Albanian populations, in accordance with linguistic hypotheses."

Don't worry though, many of those authors wrote another paper on this exact topic and they did find some dissimilarity: "Patterns of IBD-sharing directly reconnect Albanian-speaking Arbereshe with a recent Balkan-source origin, while Greek-speaking communities of Southern Italy cluster with their Italian-speaking neighbours".

This thread is just another obvious t/rolling attempt.

So the true Albanians left to Italy (among others) before 1500 and were replaced after 1500 ? By whom ? Are you serious ? Have you read the paper before posting ? Isn't it much more rational that the small group of Arbëresh intermixed to some extent with the local populations (or simply absorbed other local minorities) ?
Just for an example, I was in Sicily last year and met a guy in Contessa d'Entellina who presented himself as blood Sicilian. However, his wife was arbëresh and he could speak Albanian remarkably good.

That refers to the partial compatibility of ARbereshe with South Albanians, which of course are now a mixed population of Ghegs Troops settled by the ottomans with the local Greek and Greekoarvanite populations. Their reported numbers are as you would expect them to be. Somewhere between Greek populations and Ghegs.
Ghegs on the other hand are from another planet, although they too must be substantially different from the Ghegs of 1500.
Whether Ghegs were originally Albanian Speaking or even from the general area of west central-Balkans are also valid questions, based on these findings.
Previously linguists and historians suggested the same, but now genetics seem to add validity to those theories.

That they left en mass is a historical fact.
We are speaking about few tens of thousands of refugees. The population of Albania at the time wasn't much bigger than that.
Slaughters and slavery durring and in the aftermath of the Ottoman conquest, added to the depopulation of Albania. Post conquest Albania was pretty much a wasteland. What was left behind, merged with the Gheg Colonists(voluntarily or not). That the Ottomans stationed troops in the region it is also a fact. Ghegs gangs of converts were used by Ottomans during the conquest o Albanian itself. Few thousands of Gheg militia/gangs(and their families and slaves), was all that was needed to repopulate the Region so the modern population to have descended from them. Gheg population of Kosovo at the time wasn't much more than 20 000(if that) either, yet the 2 million modern Kosovars(and Fyromian Albanians) sprung from them. Same occurred to south Albania, although in that case the surrounding population was different than the paleobalkanians of Kosovo/Fyrom/Montenegro so their genetics diversified accordingly. There were intact Greek and arvanite populations in the (remote) mountains around south Albania, and those populations were the genetic pool the ruling military/political Albanian class was drawing genetics from to diversify their own(via slavery / forced marriages / islamizations/ child harvesting/slave soldiers etc).
 
That they left en mass is a historical fact.

Arbereshë also left "en mass" from Morea (Peloponese). They still sing a beautiful song about it in Albanian.
But I guess the scenario was different in Greece for some unknown reason...
As for the rest of your story, could you please provide some historical sources for your other facts ? I have no knowledge of Gheg colonisation to the South after the ottoman conquest. Regarding depopulation, the TMRCA of most of Albanian clades does not fit with a bottleneck in 1500 AD.
What is exactly the "arvanite population" in South Albania ?
And finally about your theory regarding the diversification / genetic pool, isn't it more likely that two (or three if you prefer) populations living next to each other for centuries present some similarity due to intermarriages (which go both ways and do not always need to be forced, etc) ?
 
This has got to be one of the dumbest and most illogical threads I have come across. It seriously doesn't take a genius to realise why they are different to modern day Albanians.

It's 2020 and we still have people who believe in nationalistic bs from the 19th and 20th centuries (lol at "Greekoarvanites"), shows the level of intelligence of some posters.

Stop obfuscating with snooty remarks, and answer the following questions.
How were the tested Arbereshe (in Calabria)Diluted in the Local population when they live in solid Arbereshe settlements created by arbereshe.
The truth is in the numbers.
Arbereshe report 10% E-m123 Y-DNA lineages.Albanians less than 1%.The Neighboring to Arbereshe Italians;a quarter of the rate of Arbereshe.
Show me a model by which Arbereshe start from North Albania with near zero E-m123 lineages,like in North Albanians, Arrive in Italy ,gain it from the locals via intermixing, and then multiply it by 4 times?
Explain me also the model by which Arbereshe start from North Albania with 20% L51 lineages, and they become zero in Italy.
Or how they started with 25% j2b and they ended up with only 3% in South Italy.
I can go on with the rest of the haplogroups too, but the above are biggest eye openers.The differences arent just big, they are monstrous. Cataclysmic. Incompatible. While we are there, answer this too. Why Arbereshe speak Tosk, and Northern Albanians the Gheg dialect, although the first historically resided in the same geography as the later?Even if we assume they coincided(some how), why are they so monstrously different?
As for the Greekoarvanites of south Albania.. Who is really in Denial?

It's just frustrating to deal with people such as yourself. I mean are you seriously trying to make the claim that the Arbereshe and modern day Albanians are distinct in terms of ethnic origin? Do you not understand that we literally speak the same language?

We know for sure that the Arbereshe received more western European input than the Albanians from the Balkans. This is clear from the results which show an elevated percentage of haplogroups such as R-L2 and I-M223. Sure, they may have had their own settlements but groups still intermix with their neighbours, especially when they have been near each other for centuries. It's very naive and delusional to believe that intermixture never occurred. As for E-M123, this group reaches higher frequencies in Italy than Albania and so also suggests Italian input. You also have a complete disregard for things such as population bottlenecks and founder effects. These effect Y-DNA percentages greatly and have had major effects on the Y-DNA percentages of modern day Albanians. Read more about these things before acting as if you're the authority on a topic.

Honestly what are you on about Tosk and Gheg thing? Form understandable sentences please. Ghegs and Tosks did not live in the same exact region, they were already two distinct dialectal groups prior to the Slavic migrations into the region. As is shown by the fact that Latin loans (especially those of Christian origin) have undergone rhotacism in Tosk dialects and haven't in Gheg dialects. The Arbereshe are primarily descended from Tosk-speaking Albanians, this also explains the fact that they only have 3% J2b, Tosk Albanians for comparison are 6.8% J2b.

The Arvanites were not ethnic Greeks, this is a basic fact. I wonder why the Greeks would even bother calling them "Arvanites" (a distinct exonym) if they were indeed fellow ethnic Greeks, let alone the Ottoman records and census that shows typical Albanian anthroponyms (e.g. Mazarak, Gjika, Bardhi etc) in Arvanite villages....
 
The creek is clearly doing what creeks do all the time.

Trying to make Arbereshe something distinct from Albanians, of course is nothing new in his country.
He doesn't understand that having less J2b doesn't mean that this population wasn't Albanians but that they probably descended from South Albania where even today there is lot less J2b than North Albania but that doesn't make the less Albanian but simply reflects the Tosk-Gheg difference.
It's probably really hard to get over the fact that these people's language wasn't creek but nevertheless we still gonna claim them and pretend they were something different than Albanians.

But instead of looking in Arbereshe's dna the creek should explain how all the ancient Greek dna till now come up to be J2a while in Epirus and Peloponnese today E-V13 is dominant?
 
Ancient Greek DNA is largely an unknown. There is no reason to assume that E-V13 wasn't present among ancient Greeks, even on the contrary. It might have been less numerous in some places or of different clades regionally, but who can say a lot about ancient Greek percentages? How many samples were taken until now? How the population movements were taking place, in which direction at which time? There is not enough data available to conclude anything like that. But yes, the Albanian descended people in Italy showing gene drift and being shifted in an Italian direction rather than being "the Albanian originals". There is no rule to that. There are people which lived side by side mixing within the first generations and others having little to no gene flow after thousands of years. Only genetic testing can make sure what was happening and in which direction the gene flow was going.
 
@Riverman
I guess you replied to my post although you haven't quoted me.
Actually we have lot more DNA of ancient Greeks than we do for any kind of other ancient Balkan people. For example, the territory of modern Albania and North Macedonia is largely unexplored.
We have samples from pre-Greek Minoans. They are mostly J2a and G.
We have Mycenaean BA Greek samples as well as Classical Greek samples from the Iberian colony of Empuries and they all turned out J2a.
If I am going to assume instead of simply relying on the facts than I would assume that there was some R1b among the proto Greeks as well.
But I prefer to keep to the facts and the facts say that the only confirmed ancient sample downstream of E-V13 today is from Scythian context burial located very close the mouth of Danube.
The paper:https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/4/10/eaat4457
In the paper there were some terrible mistakes like the one where the sample in question was predicted as R1b. However after a close look in the sample's BAM file it was clear that the sample belonged to: https://www.yfull.com/tree/E-FGC44169/
The Scythians weren't homogeneous people but a confederation that followed some similar cultural practices. Thus the autosomal DNA of the sample in question (scy197) confirms that he was of a local origin and most probably a Getae sample, people who were of Thracian stock.
Another mistake in the paper is that they couldn't predict the age of the sample correctly. There was a confusion because the sample was identified as a Scythian however the sample's age was estimated to around 2100 BC, way too old for it to be a Scythian.
But not only that, we have another sample from Bulgaria, low quality however and because of that it was predicted only as E-Z1919 but it might very well be E-V13 if we had a better quality sample: https://www.eupedia.com/forum/threads/31540-Thracian-E-V13
Furthermore, from the paper: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4757772/
The paper was funded by the British academy.
The genetic contribution of a given source within a defined historical scenario has often been estimated using the number of chromosomes assigned to given haplogroups assumed to have a specific geographic/ethnic origin. In relation to the GC of the Mediterranean, the lineage defined by the E-V13 marker has been used to estimate the Hellenic contribution to the Sicilian gene pool.14 By assuming that all E-V13 chromosomes have a Hellenic origin, authors estimated a contribution of ~37% to the population in Sicily. The reconstruction of a STR-based network linking the Sicilian modal haplotype and its one-step neighbouring haplotypes provided a TMRCA of about 2380 years before present, with a 95% confidence ranging between 675 and 6940 years ago. More recent contributions and differential origins are expected to affect such estimates, but attempts to mitigate the impact of these phenomena were not implemented.
In this study we highlighted that, when alternative sources were taken in consideration, E-V13 did not show any specificity as a marker of the Hellenic contribution. The signal that we found using the full set of haplotypes within a limited range of mutational distance disappeared when only E-V13 unbounded haplotypes are considered, becoming even significant for other non-Greek sources when a filter for recent gene flow was applied. The contribution of E-V13 from Corinthia and Euboea, in fact, reaches its peak well before the 8–12 mutational steps range (Figure 4), while in this range and samples it showed minor relative frequency.
These findings suggest a poor association between the Y haplogroup E-V13 and the East-to-West GC migratory waves. The effects of more recent gene flow or sampling bias, may have masked the original E-V13 signal from Greece. At any rate, our results caution against the use of specific lineage-based approaches to test for hypothesised population contributions and underline the need for a more targeted approach to explain the occurrence of given haplotypes within a population, providing tests of alternative hypotheses, a wide spectrum of reference samples and mutation-limited inference methodology.
In other words, the haplotypes of E-V13 around the world and the former Greek colonies don't show founder effect and specific correlation with the ancient Greeks. Most of the haplotypes are very old, dating to EBA and MBA and predate the Greek colonization or show a preference for a more recent gene flow of non Greek origin.
First it was wrongly assumed that E-V13 is a marker if the ancient Greeks by some earlier papers because this haplogroup can be found in Cyprus as well as West Anatolia.
However, as is the case with the islands most often and Cyprus being no exception, many times were depopulated and repopulated again.
West Anatolia and the Greek islands are no exception.
The source population was a Roman population not a Greek one.
Everyone with a little knowledge in history knows what's the difference between the two and what kind of implications could have had for the so called 'modern Greeks' whose roots can be traced to the Roman Empire and it's later offshoot, the Eastern part called simply Romania!
 
Granted I can only go by what happened to the Arvanites villages in Eastern Thrace but there was not a lot of intermixing between them and the Greek speakers around them. I grew up in a village that was a 90% Arvanites. After the 60's and 70s there has been a lot more intermixing.
 
Aspar: Greeks seem to have been organised into different tribes early on. Minoans are not Greeks, there is not too much of Mycenaeans, especially yDNA, the colony might be in no way representative and from classical Greeks the sampling is poor too. That sampling for other historical people is even worse doesn't make it any better.

If I am going to assume instead of simply relying on the facts than I would assume that there was some R1b among the proto Greeks as well.

That's extremely likely.

E-V13 today is from Scythian context burial

With possible Thraco-Cimmerian relations, I read about that. Obviously E-V13 re-expanded from Late Bronze Age on, but also in the Hallstatt Iron Age and especially within Eastern Hallstatt. Among Greeks the most likely closer relationship is with Dorians. The relationship to Illyrians/Proto-Albanians is old and not just the result of more recent immigration. Of course only more ancient and modern samples can solve this.

In Italy and especially Southern Italy it is very unlikely that E-V13 had just one source, but multiple ones coming from different directions like Iberia, Central Europe and South Eastern Europe mainly but not exclusively. Some came with (especially Dorian) Greeks with very high probability. Empúries was a Phocaean (Ionian) colony by the way.

Concerning Greeks, if talking about Proto-Greeks I think we will see an influx of R1b, E-V13 and even R1a among others from the North eventually. Its just that there was no population replacement, so no complete change with surviving local lineages (related to Neolithics, Balkan CA and Minoans).

Bigsnake: There are also neighbouring people which mix for some generations and then stop it. You can't conclude from one stage to another. Good neighbours with bride exchange might become bitter enemies in the future. Like if some male bands take local women, they mix obviously, but that doesn't mean that their mixed offspring allows its daughters to mix or proceed like that. They might just form a new community on their own which constitute a people apart.
 
Parapolitikos, your topic is idiotic. Obviously Arberesh are mixed a bit with the Italians. Even Arberesh E-V13 is bit rare in Albanians. Most common is E-Y172393, might be E-A18844 of Montenegrin Mataruga clan (related to Mataranga) or Albanian E-FT146201.

About Greek E-V13, well nobody knows them better than me. there are some obvious Arvanite ancestry Greeks of clades such as Z38456 and FGC11450 but also there are few Albanian E-V13's of Greek ancestry. The former is more common ofc. But no way huge percentage of Greek V13 is Arvanite. You can see that through R-Z2705 percent in Greeks, 2-3 %, so Arvanite might be 5 % tops, likely less as Arvanites seem packed with R-Z2705 thus far. Still a significant percentage.

If Greeks have 2-3% R-Z2705 and Arvanites are 5% of those Greeks, you are claiming Arvanites have 50% R-Z2705, which is impossible.

It is more likely that Arvanite R-Z2705 is similar to Albainans ~15%. So if Greeks have 2-3% R-Z2705 and we assume it all comes from Arvanites, then Arvanites are ~15-20% of Greeks.

No, I meant 5 % (speaking of E-V13), that still might be 1/4 of Greek E-V13! Likely less but some are hard to identify. Arvanites seem very low on J-L283, expected as Tosks have low J2b2, and Arvanites were Tosk. Personally I think 6-7 % of Greeks might be of Arvanite ancestry. Yes I think in Arvanites R-Z2705 was very strong, stronger than in Albanians. Certainly when you deduct abit from the J-L283 it will strengthen the R-Z2705. There are no clear rules, Arvanites were likely a portion of Albanians from some not all regions, it's not that you can claim Arvanites were descended of all subgroups of Tosks.

You see in Arberesh E-Y172393 dominates and this cluster is not common in Albanians.
