The evidence also shows people who bore Slavic names in these territories weren't neccessarily all Slavs

These 16th century registers show Serbs as a minority in Kosova in many areas . Especially taking into consideration majority of the Muslim converts were Albanians . Serbs appear as a minority in the town of Peja (with only pockets of the region still having majority Slavic but significant...

These are some of the villages in the Plains of Dukagjin (an area roughly between Peja and Prizren) that I have identified that were Albanian in the 1400's-1500's register or that we know were Albanian The registers indicates this area was inhabited by Albanians. There are more. But I am...

Some really interesting stuff is when Albanians used names like Gjon, Gjin etc then in the 16th century they would switch over to other type of Albanian names and this happened in villages with Slavic names too. Doesn't say that anyone can came into the village. The people who lived there...

I made a mistake in the title , it's meant 1485. Modern Vraniq https://mapcarta.com/13914152 or possibly Vranoc, https://mapcarta.com/13914120 in 1485, Albanian names bolded: Nikolla Gjin, son of Nikolla Gjin, son of Andrija Nenko, son of Progon Gogo, his son Nenko, son of Gjin Lusha, son of...

E-V13 was proto-Albanian and some J-L283 and R1b most likely came with it is my theory

Genetic evidence supports they were Vlachs

Those J-L283 Albanians that are supposedly close are not ''Vlachs'' but another proof of a common origin and more proof the Albanian language didn't originate in modern Albania but literally migrated there dude from the Central Balkans.

And here that further confirms the people in Peja were Albanians from 1485 register some of the names: Some of the Christians: Stepan Zeqanini Gjura, son of Gega Petrit Pavel Arbansi Marku son of Radic Kozohari Cvetko Prishlic Todor Spica Jovan Branko Stepan Vlada, Nikolla Boshko Nikolla...

''The Muslim population of the towns seems to have been mainly Albanian: Pjeter Mazrreku's reference to the Albanian Muslims of Prizren has already been noted, and a similar impression is given by Evliya Qelebi's account of the administrative town of Vucitern, where, he said, the population...

Doing this to focus on the Albanian population of Dardania. People who have arrived to the area would be marked as 'doshlac' or 'prishlac' in these registers from the 15th and 16th centuries and which meant immigrant Register from 1582 for the town of Peja. https://mapcarta.com/Peja . It was...

I will PM you my Y-DNA. Anyway, Vokshiq had one Albanian name which I did not post. A village just having one single Albanian name and the rest non-Albanian names and most of the people might in fact still be Albanians is my theory.

'Vokshiq' above is possibly modern village Voksh https://mapcarta.com/13932128 , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voksh

Just to show you an example such as the village 'Vokshiq' from 1480 which was somewhere in the Western Kosovo / Peja region, might possibly be modern Voksh or more north, these were Albanians going by their name 'Voksh' but all bore Serbian names or Christian names except for one: Nikolla son...
