More lies as usual from you. Your horseshiit book from 2014 is an outright misrepresentation of her "viewpoint" as you put it. Must have taken you a couple of days fuming to try come up with this pathetic attempt at a response. Here is Papazoglu's actual map from her book which you...

Fascinating, i wonder if we could tezt these somehow linguistically/culturally (i.e. eastern macedonia)

Could you refresh me on your iron age model? I'm really rusty with autosomal stuff, so would appreciate a dumbed down version

In 2016 Matzinger discards Noel Malcolm's arguments regarding compound names in Albanian (i.e. in toponyms like "Bessapara") and demonstrates that this was the original form in Albanian too, and the change to how it is now could have happened relatively late.

Hahah the shameless liar Bruzmi is already attempting to spin his webs yet again, now trying to claim the Triballi were not one of the main people mentioned in Moesia. He even tries to use Appian, who didn't know the difference between the Paeonians and Pannonians, as a credible source. He...

This is from 1927 so its pretty old, but I thought it was interesting as few know it. Well, yeah, there is a camp that argues that Albanian is Daco-Moesian pure and simple. I agree that dna will help, but I thnk all the disciplines complement each other. Obviously there is something going on...

Phillipide argued that the proto-Albanian homeland was a narrow strip between the Vrbas and Drina rivers in Bosnia. He argued the proto-Albanians were neither Illyrians nor Thracians, but Pannonians, who he considered related but distinct to the Illyrians. Among the tribes he listed...

Hm, strange, the image shows up for me on both the phone and conputer. I also think Dardani are most probable. Currently Matzinger has argued that Albanian cannot descend from Thracian, but he does not talk about dacian/daco-moesian as its called. If there was a central IE stratum that was...

To test Matzinger's hypothesis that the Proto-Albanian homeland was in the Moesia Superior/Dacia Ripensis/Mediterranea region, we can begin with first trying to list all the recorded peoples/tribes in this region.This is a rough attempt, please contribute if I missed any.

Silver & gold artefacts from ~500BC, almost entirely found in the region of the Triballi, known as "Mramorac type belts" despite lacking buckles or fastening devices. They appear in elite graves, and in pairs, and mainly carry symbols of swastikas and palmettes. Because they appear in pairs...

These are the territories of the Triballi according to Papazoglu

We only know of two Triballian names, that of King Syrmus and King Hales (χάλησ).Hales is interesting, could there be a possible relation to:Albanian. Halë [awn, beard; nettle-leaf, fish-bone]

In Alexander the Great's battle against the Triballians, Arrian mentions a river called "Lyginon". Given that Triballians were one of the peoples of Moesia (where Matzinger argues Proto-Albanians hail from), could this be related to: Albanian. Lug [trough, water-channel] Albanian. Lug is...

"Ancient DNA reveals the origins of the Albanians" Big new paper. Think it should have a dedicated thread. LINK: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.06.05.543790v1 Conclusions: "However, in agreement with linguistic studies, we find that Albanians likely descend from a surviving...

One of the reasons that Matzinger argues Albanian does not continue Illyrian in his latest 2022 book is also because of the mismatch in the development of IE sonorants in Albanian vs Illyrian. Likewise he also argues that Messapic doesn't match Illyrian also.

"In Kosovo, south Metohija, the south Morava valley and the upper Vardar valley, there began to grow numerous settlements in which pottery decorated with a dented tool was produced (Map 2; gs. 4–7). In Kosovo-Metohija, to the settlements and hoards of the 8th –7th century BC correspond the...

Is the dented ware in Kosova the same thing as stamped ware? Lazic believes these to be the true Dardani, if they were stamped ware that is interesting to take note of in mapping the spread of the Dard- term I can't tell as I am translating from Serbian source with google translate...

Likewise, another problem is the appearance of a related form, "derd-" appearing particularly frequently in Macedonia and Epirus. (3 of the appearances in Macedonia are of the kings of elimiotis). We know that in this region there was an influx of Brnjica and also channelled ware, so which is...

Yes, its not feasible that bryges come from that north
