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?

AFAIK, there are no Messapian samples, instead, we got Daunian samples.

I I havent done any y-haplogroup test but I would like to take one, could you recommand me a company that does y-dna testing?

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...

What has his ethnicity to do with his work, if his arguments are wrong then tell me why are they?

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.

The Ev13 samples that were modeled as 50 Thracian and 50 Illyrian dont have a good score at all and many people have criticised the way how those samples were modeled. Those samples would rather represent the native Daco-Mysian population of that region, thats why those are different to the...

You keep repeating nonsense. Modern linguists such as Matzinger dont suport that Proto-Albanians were in whats now Albania, however they support the fact that they migrated there, thats how these toponyms such as Mat appeared. Shkodra, Sharr and other toponyms in Albania dont follow Albanian...

Toponyms from Albania dont have Albanian phonetic evolution, that was stated by many linguists especially Matzinger. As for Lipjan, while no Roman Era document mention any paleo-balkan population living there, it could have been inhabited by Bessi because Scupi, Besiana and Besaiana are all...

Western Dardania cannot be the place where this happened as Sharr doesnt match Albanian phonetic evolution so the area of contact between Albanians and Vlachs was in Eastern Dardania and Western Dacia Mediteranea,as thats where all toponyms that match Albanian phonetic evolution are located.

Aromanian split from Romanian earlier and migrated in Greece and other places in the Balkans in the 9th century, meanwhile Proto-Romanians migrated later in what is now Romania.

Here is what user Hawk wrote about the inscription mentioning Albanopolis : "Also the inscription mentioning Albanopolis "POSIS MESTYLU F[ILIUS] FL[AVIA] DELVS MVCATI F[ILIA] DOM[O] ALBANOP[OLI] IPSA DELVS". It is translated as "Posis Mestylu, son of Flavia, daughter of Delus Mucati, who comes...

Matzinger said that the Illyrians were related to Proto-Albanian before he came to the conclusion that they arent Proto-Albanians. As you said, Vermeer doesnt fully support Illyrian theory neither. Vermeer is correct about the phonetic evolution of Naissus and Astibos but the only weird thing is...

Archeology and Linguistics suggest that the Illyrian Dardani, lived in what is now the western half of Kosovo. The regions east of the Illyrian Dardani were inhabited by Thracians and possibly by a third paleo-balkan group and thus Naissus and Astibos were in a clear Thracian linguistic zone all...

I dont know what arguments does Willem Vermeer present but his works on Albanian are from the 90s and 2000s(thats what chat gpt told me), so I think that Willem's arguments are most likely the same or at least they are included in Matzinger's arguments.

Matzinger denies also Illyrian hypothesis. 2 pages ago, Johanne Derite presented arguments from the linguist Radu Craciun which presents arguments on why Matzinger is wrong about the rejection of Thracian origin of Albanian. The same linguist, in the same work, presented phonetic evolutions of...

We know that the Bessi tribe lived before the Roman Period in North-West of Rhodopes Mountains. I think thats where Proto-Albanians got their Doric loanwords (if Albanians truly descend from those Bessi). The theory about the Doric loanwords comming from western Dardanians is possible if the...

Whats intresing is that there is also the toponym Shtip in N.Macedonia which shows Albanian phonetic evolution aswell. Both cities were inhabited by Thracian people during the Roman Rule.
