There is no way to identify the culture at the moment. There is a huge gap in the generations of I2a-L621 between the guy found in Central Europe and Proto-Slavs. I hope the missing links will be found one day.

Proto-Slavs.

Same case as with Britannia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britannia The country got its name from the name of a Roman province.

You should know that the term "lingua Illyrica" and simmilar has nothing to do with the ancient Illyrians. It was a kind of a fashion in the middle ages and later, among the western intellectuals, to name contemporary populations after the ancient ones. The term was, in most cases, used to name...

I can understand that. However, in 7-9th century Dalmatia we can't see other archeological cultures beside Croatian and local Roman ones. It seems that even Serbian archeologists have difficulties to find traces of Serbs in that period as well. I've just used Occam's rasor. That's all.

Take it as a convention to express that some Slavs were part of the Bulgian (non Slavic) society durring early middle ages. The Slavic branch of I2a people is quite young. Durring the formation of protoslavs the number of I2a carriers could have been insignificant in terms of "nations" or...

The simplest explanation would be that R1a and I2a came from medieval Croats and Bulgarian Slavs, E1b from Romans and early Albanians. ;)

These are the 19th century fairtales. :D "Publisher: Realschulbuchh., 1816" :D Austrian Slavists and historians of that time had pretty much distroded view of the ethnicities in the area that they knew very little about. When I'll have time I wil present you the evolution of their...

That was my point. Before the establishment of the modern Serbian language (created by Vuk Karadžić), it wasn't unusual for the Serbs to speak different languages. Could that be the reason why Serbian intelligentsia were sticking so hard to the artificial church language until 19th century? The...

I agree. These never existed as real ethnicities. On the other hand, it is possible that members of any ethnic group become Serbs, even massively, only by falling under the Serbian Church jurisdiction. I have Aromanians (Tsintsars) on my mind.

To make it all that even more clear let me point to an observation of Russin consule Aleksandar Fedorovič Giljferding (Александар Федорович Гиљфердинг) who visited Serbia and neighbouring lands in 19th century: Giljferding records in his travels an observation that for the Serbs nationality...

I already explained what ethnonym Servian meant in Venetian and Italian sources. It had regional meaning. The Church Slavonic term "Srblji" was used in texts produced by Serbian notars and priests. Local Catholics in Cattaro (Kotor) and Ragusa (Dubrovnik) were mostly using the term Rascian...
