Albanian does show in fact Eastern Latin or Romanian / Vlach similarities but it could be Albanian into Romanian. The map he posted of Illyrian names is wrong. Albania was inhabited by various Illyrian tribes. Coastal areas of Albania were Romanized

EV-13 is from Zezaks of Ulqin: https://lefteast.org/only-memories-and-emptiness-remain-the-history-of-ulcinjs-afro-albanian-community-in-montenegro/

Even Albania was overrun by Serbs & Bulgarians. Rrafshi i Dukagjinit (Dukagjin Plataeu) had Vlach and Albanian population. Lek Dukagjini, Kastrioti etc were Northern Albanians. Their states extended close to Prizren. Battle of Kosovo was fought by many Balkan states including Albanian ones...

Michiel De Vaan supports Matzinger and claims it is not native to Albania, I once sent him an email and he argues Illyrian names in Albania developed different.

To me it makes no sense that EV-13 experienced a bottle neck effect in West Balkans while in East where it seems to of been quite common. Maybe it's just a sample bias so far. Also proto-Albanians might not of even developed from one single tribe (i.e Albanoi) . Most linguists just recognize...

What are the most common Albanian EV-13 clades and how do they add up with the Thracian samples found so far and others ? Just asking as I don't know much about EV-13.

Do you have any more information about J2b2 Vlachs ? I am interested.
