Albanian substrate in Slavic Carpathia

@Scythian Hello, paternal cousin! AI of any sort is not really helpful in genetics and can more often than not be misleading.

I should warn you that his thread is pure pseudoscience and mostly got to do with E1b haplotardism, claiming it brought the Albanian language (a clearly Yamnaya>Illyric language). Private messages don't work for me and are buggy on this website so maybe you'd want to connect over on genarchivist.net? Are you Hungarian by chance?
 
Looks like you used chatgpt, it's interesting nonetheless. Do you think albanian has a significant amount of Scythian/Cimmerian influence? I've been wondering the same thing for a while now.

Hey Fshatar,


I completely agree with your initial impression—much of that original thread does veer into pseudoscientific and narrow-minded territory. That kind of haplogroup nationalism or “E1b = language X” logic ignores the complexity and fusion that define our actual genetic histories. My approach is the opposite: I’m not trying to force modern identities onto ancient movements—I’m looking at the deep population flows that shaped Eurasia well before our current ethnic lines were drawn.

Take my own case. I was born in the Middle Volga, but genetically, I’m the product of ancient elite lineages that moved between the Urals, Pontic Steppe, the Danube Basin, and the Caucasus. These included Scythian, Sarmatian, Hun, Avar, and later Hungarian Conqueror elites—culminating in noble dynasties like the Aba and Báthory families. The evidence for this shows up clearly in ancient DNA segment matches.

My Y-DNA is J2b2a1a1a (CTS5368), and its strongest concentrations today are in Albania, Macedonia, Montenegro, and adjacent areas. It’s also found among Avar elites in the Carpathian Basin and appears to have moved into Caucasus Albania by 300–800 CE, likely as part of a noble or priestly class. This line—though “eastern” by geography—was thoroughly involved in the steppe–Danube–Volga gene flow.

On the maternal side, I carry mtDNA J1c, an old lineage that entered Europe with Neolithic LBK farmers (~5500 BCE) and later fused with Yamnaya/Steppe ancestry. This LBK–Steppe fusion reappears in my matches with BR2 (Bronze Age Hungary) and LBK Stuttgart, showing the kind of Central European ancestry that eventually spread into Swiss, German, and Irish lines, and into the Balkans.

In terms of deep matches, here’s what triangulates:
  • PG2004 (Eneolithic Steppe, ~4200 BCE) — 22.06 cM
  • I7848 (Yamnaya, Moldova, ~2800 BCE) — 28.62 cM
  • ZIM001 (Middle Bronze Age Steppe, ~1700 BCE) — 23.5 cM
  • BR2 (Bronze Age Hungary, ~1200 BCE)
  • Tem003 (Sarmatian-Hun, Bashkortostan, 220 CE) — 20.84 cM
  • PTL003 (Hun invader, Hungary, 450 CE) — 13.4 cM
  • RKC014 (Avar elite, Hungary, 650 CE) — 35.6 cM
  • SE-23 (Hungarian Conqueror elite, Sandorfalva, 950 CE) — 66.3 cM
  • HUAS81 (Aba Dynasty, ~1000–1300 CE) — 10.6 cM
  • PER08 (Báthory-era noblewoman, ~1600 CE) — strong matching segment

Interestingly, modern admixture tools often misclassify these elite steppe signatures as “Tatar” or “Volga-Ural.” But historically, it’s the same Sarmatian–Hun–Avar–Magyar complex. The Middle Volga has been home to these layers of elite fusion, and researchers have long connected it to the Huns, Magyars, and Kabars—all part of that Finno-Ugric / Slavic / Turkic interzone. Some even see continuity between the Magyars and Mishars (Mesherya) via the Khazars and Bulgars, which fits both linguistically and genetically.

Now, on the autosomal side, I see triangulated segment clusters from around 1600 CE onward showing up all over: Albania, Macedonia, Croatia, Bosnia, Hungary, Austria, Poland, Courland, the Baltics, Finland, Sweden, France, Spain, Portugal, and even in the Americas. These likely represent cousin lines from noble dispersals or elite assimilations that took place during the collapse of steppe dynasties and the rise of early modern states.

One of the most intriguing signals is my segment match to an Iranian Yazd outlier (RW4117674). This sample falls outside typical Iranian clusters and shows elevated steppe ancestry—possibly a descendant of Saka, Sarmatian, or even Kushan-related lines that moved through eastern Iran and Central Asia. This Yazd match mirrors my Eastern cousin branch, which traces a steppe fusion line through the Altai, Central Asia, and the Caucasus, possibly merging with the line that entered Caucasus Albania.

As for the Albanian connection—I don’t see it as recent or surface-level. It’s prehistoric, embedded in the ancient Illyrian and steppe Indo-European substrate that moved into the Balkans during and after the Yamnaya expansion (~3300–2500 BCE). The line that ended up in Albania is cousin to mine, not divergent. In fact, you could argue that the modern Balkans—Albania, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia—preserve more of this original steppe elite ancestry than much of the rest of Europe.

So while I share some of the thread’s targets (tracing ancient lineages), I reject the framework. It’s not about modern labels—it’s about steppe mobility, elite fusion, and linguistic-cultural continuity across Eurasia. I’d love to continue the conversation, especially over on genarchivist.net if that’s easier. What’s the best way to connect there?

@Scythian That's cool man! I mean this in the nicest possible way but you should chill a little bit with the use of Chatgpt or other flawed AI tools. It's better you use google translate if you're not fluent enough in English. I see you put Russian as your mother tongue so I assume you're not Hungarian but Russian or Russian Tatar maybe?

Edit: lmao I see you said CTS5368 if this is not an error from Chatgpt then that is under J1a not J2b-L283. With which company did you test?

Well, there’s some confusion regarding its attribution. In some sources it is J1a and in others it’s J2b. I originally tested with 23andme, but I’m also in the process of getting a more comprehensive yDNA test done to clear things up.

CTS5368 is definitely not a J2b-L283 SNP. It is a SNP for J1a-Z2215. This is why Chatgpt and AI are completely useless for genetics man.

I really want to get to the bottom of this. There is apparently some confusion going on. Can you please let me know what is incorrect in the following tree?

Regarding AI, I use a custom trained model to find triangulated DNA segments with my confirmed GEDmatch matches, and my segment overlaps are autosomal, not uniparental. My yDNA is secondary to this discussion.

J (M304)

A few things:
  • Albanian rroba is likely a borrowing from Norman(see English robes), probably it is listed as such in paid etymological dictionaries. So likely no real connection with the Hutusl version.
  • Rohy - which means horn in Slavic, I think the expression to whip someone is not engulfed in the word itself but part of the phrase, I'll correct it later. However the expression likely has it's origin in Albanian rreh - to beat. As people do not have horns and to beat the horns out of someone is a non-sense term. The Hutsul phrase/expression has it's legacy from a time they were Dacian speakers.
  • Riza might be better explained through Romanian word for radius, same as Albanian reze which is Latin derived.
  • ryzy is suppose to have Germanic origin form medieval German, however I could not an actual testimony, the explanation might be a speculation and not traceable in historical records as German loan words usually are.
  • rozsiš is likely Slavic but I left it in the list.

Another interesting section, there are some words that are available in goroh, where the etymology is clearly guess work.

To refresh memories the word "straktuvaty" can be broken as follows strakt-uvaty, with uvaty being a Slavic(Ukranian) suffix. Strakt is likely partially deformed as many substrate Hutsul words often are after undergoing Slavicisation. Yet still visibly related to Albanian. Skipanyci on the other hand has not been deformed other than having a Slavic suffix at the end, and it's relation to Albanian shkopinj is clear as day.
Sporovatyj can be broken as sporo-vatyj, with vatyj being a Slavic suffic. Other examples: Sokotyty = sokot-ty, visokotyty = vi-sokot-ty, zasokotytysy = za-sokoty-tysy. This demonstrates how words of non-Slavic origin are often wrapped with Slavic action verbs(vi, za) and a Slavic suffix making them visually appear Slavic.

Most interesting is the word Sumar, Sumatar and Nesumennyj. Without a doubt it is clearly relate to Albanian shumë, which in term is assumed to be related to Latin summum, which has a different meaning and it has no Albanain equivalent among modern Latin languages.

The Hutsul word even has a Albanian suffix, suma-tar = shumëtar. The suffix "-tar" is primarily used to form agent nouns, indicating a person who performs a specific action or profession. Even NESUMENNYJ is fully Albanoid, as ne in Slavic would equato to no/not, nesumennyj would equate to në shumicë/me shumicë.

hušma has a more pan-Ukranian useage, it is assumed to be from Tartar "xuš"(together, in one row"). The connection seems weak, and it might be a devolved varian of Hutsul prior examples. In either case, the connection between Hutsul substrate and Albanian is not dependent on the weaker singletons.
