What if we deal with 3 populations, one J2b Illyrian / Romanized Illyrian, one Central Balkan Thracian native population and the incomming Dacians / North Danube Thracians?
Lets also not forget abt that archeological culture from Central Balkans during the Roman times that perfectly overlaps with Albanoid toponyms that seemed IIRC to have lasted until the 5th century and that had paralels with other older Eastern and Central Balkans cultures. So we got a...
I find one problem with Riverman's theory that if Albanians would be of Daco-Thracian origin, they'd be of Dacian descend because it wouldn't explain why Proto-Albanians have Doric loanwords. I still think just as you Johane, that Proto-Albanians would be the descendents of a native Central...
I've managed to find the article from Matzinger translated in English on Quora and I've read most of it. It's intresting that in the begining part of it, Matzinger makes a separation between Dacian and Thracian and he only says about the Thracian language not being Albanoid or related to...
Johane Derite, I saw on the internet that many people argue that Albanian cant derive from Daco-Thracian because it doesnt have a word derived from para/dava that means a settlement or some alike, instead it has vend which some would say is connected to the toponym in Croatia Vendum. What do you...
At this point the theory of Daco-Thracian origin of Albanians seems more plausible than the Illyrian one but I got a couple of questions, if Albanian truly comes from the language of those resettled Dacians how can we collerate this theory with the very early Latin layer of Albanian which is...
I'm not an expert on this subject, so I might ask you, do we know in what places Daco-Thracian/Illyrian toponyms start to dominate in Dardania/Central Balkans? This should help us on determining where the real border between Illyrians and Daco-Thracians could be located. I dont think archeology...
I find one problem with the Daco-Thracian origin of Albanians, the Messapic Albanian conection. Maybe this could be explained if Daco-Thracians were a Yamnaya IE people, what do you think abt this?
As an Aromanian, what is your opinion on the current situation of Aromanian comunities in Greece, Albania etc. Do ppl still speak Aromanian, especially the young generation? Do Romanian tourists help with the maintaining of the language?
In the past I used to belive in the autochtonus theory of Romanians and that Romanians are the descendents of only Romanized Dacians. Now, I am sure that we, Romanians, are the descendents of Vlachs that migrated north of the Danube but also in other places from the Balkans. Genetically, it...
Here is an image of Bessi archeological sites during the Roman period and the sites where they were mentioned. The only reson why on wikipedia it is written that the Bessi theory is debunked it is because of Matzinger's arguments, which are wrong as Radu Craciun demonstrated.
