Let's not forget many families moved in from Northern Albania during 17th-18th century, when the region had already gained a large Albanian population, and like 60k-100k people were expelled from Nish, Leskovac etc in the 19th century who then settled Kosovo.

We do know what a founder effect is but there is nothing that suggests Albanian demographic growth in Western Kosovo happened as a result of immigration from Albania during the Ottoman period. Show me evidence that proves otherwise. Show me evidence in the early Ottoman period that speak of a...

Results would be maybe different if we start targeting people with no tribal affiliations or families who do not trace their origin anywhere else , just the general population, I would suggest especially the 'Rrafshi i Dukagjinit' / Western Kosovo like Opoja, Prizren, Gjakova, Has, Peja region etc.

Berisha is an Albanian tribe that was recorded before the Ottoman period and recorded in Kosovo before the Ottoman period according to some. It's the oldest recorded Albanian tribe. Many of these DNA projects mostly target people who belong to tribes.

I am more interested in the native Albanians that used to live in Kosovo (or still live) . I wonder if one could test some families who have no tribal affiliations or who do not trace their origin to anywhere else. But it's hard considering many families did not live in the same area for more...

lol this dude is claiming me and you are the same person. I will admit I had other accounts here but I never used multiple accounts , 'Gash' was my account and another one was Thraco-Illyrian I have been around this forum since 2015 , but I did not browse this site for many years for example...

He is not even a Kosovar. He is from North-Eastern Albania I think. He is definitely not me . Back it up with evidence ? Dardapara is definitely not my account.

And how exactly do we know that ?

There is no evidence of any significant migration from Northern Albania into Kosovo between 15th century to around 17th/18th century though, Mainly sped up in 18th century - Kosovo: A SHort history There were some in the late 1500's and 1600's, based on this I have counted around 50 families...

Krici can still be Albanian or even Vlach, just because they tested J2b1 doesn't rule out an Albanian origin, Vlachs historically lived close to many Albanians in Albania, Montenegro, Macedonia, Western Kosovo etc . Macure tested I1 and are said to of been Albanian too, they even match...

Yeah you are right , i didn't see the times .

I agree with this. It's also possible Albanian is combination of both ? Weren't like most of the J2b2-L283 found from Late Bronze Age and Iron Age ? What do you think about Vucedol ? Baden culture came from Corded Ware ?

Some more from the Dardani: Dardani were divided into two tribes, Galabri and Thunaki.

Wilkes 1992: From wiki, I see they quoted Wilkes, Palavestra etc https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romajë

Yeah, you really convinced me now lol. Dardanians were Illyrians: Thracian names in Dardania are almost absent except for the Eastern part such as the toponym 'Dardapara' in Eastern Dardania which is clearly Thracian , in modern Leskovac area probably or around Nish. There is also the...

Yeah this is what I am saying too.

The author I quoted , Noel Malcolm, suggests Proto-Albanian is from Dardanian that lived in the mountains of Northern Albania (Especially Kukes / Tropoja area) , Kosovo (Especially Western Kosovo) and Eastern Montenegro, also Macedonia. But like he said, it's just a theory. He claims Mat -...

We are not talking about different groups that were assimilated here but Proto-Albanians would be the ones that carried the Albanian language, irrelevant how many foreigners were assimilated. Where is the evidence it was EV-13 that was proto-Albanian ? Since we are talking about mark on...

What makes you neccessarily think that EV-13 is Proto-Albanian ? What about R1b and J2b2 ? Also that first map is kind of nonsense as there is nothing to suggest Eastern Serbia or Western Bulgaria was any kind of homeland yet it's funny it has left out Western parts of Kosovo 'Rrafshi i...
