I tried to see to which modern population are closer some of those individuals. For example, you cluster: I10391 as Basarabi Proper. This individuals appears closer to Italian_Marche, Veneto, Corsica. I10384 as Bryges. This individual appears closer to Italian_Bergamo, Piedmont, Veneto and...

It's pretty easy to say things that you don't know. "Sea" in Albania is "deti" pretty obvious related to the Greek Mythology "tetis", with the standard conversion of 't' to 'd' observed in many cases in Albanian. The amount of 'flora and fauna' Albanian words is quite large and I don't know...

Any comment in a more neutral mode about this?

There is no proto-greek zone 2000 BC. It starts 1500-1000 BCE, while Kamenice is much older.

The green area is possibly the origin of a part of Messapian population too (Devoll pottery).

If the DNA results of King Philip were convenient to Greeks, those would be published since ages. There are two options left, one is to publish results of other remains and of course the miniscule chance of publishing the real results.

I would say a bit more northerly, the Dardanian type E-v13.

Let see. All three main paternal lines are possible.

Noel Malcolm did a great job to collect these facts.

Yes, and similarly there are many villages/areas of Northern Greece which had majority of Slavic names in the same period. Can you say they are Slavic areas now?

Dino is doing a great job in explaining the population of many villages in Thessaly and Macedonia (in Greece). It appears that the Slavs and Albanians were a great part of that region, and it was probably one of the most diverse regions in the South Balkans. Basically the Greeks were probably...

This is not what you think! The core of Albanians is the area Mat-Nish-Shtip, and the center of course is Kosova. Albanians moved to the South reaching Athens and Peloponnesus. There was never a moment in which Kosova was emptied, nevertheless the whole mountainous areas of Albanian Alps and...

The interesting thing is that there are so many same Albanian names being present in Thessaly and Kosova at the same time. I used Dino's names to go on both samples and to see the names that are the core of all-Albanian names of the 15-16th centuries.

This is obvious for many reasons! All those policies of assimilations of Albanians would have had some result. On the other side, Albanians of Kosova remain the most Paleo-Balkan population, and the very representation of what the population in early Roman times was present in Balkans.

I read a little bit about this Leo III and its iconoclast campaigns. I don't think that fighting some own church traditions could make feasible these administrative changes that you mention.

Yes, but still Dacian is not very good. Too close to Illyrians for some folks. Albanians "need to be" Thracians.

I would not put such a clear cut date as per 732. The Great Schism was on 1054, and Albanian territories at that time were in the borderline area between west and east. I still want to stress the fact that not only the language, but also the naming of the churches was overwhelming in Latin in...

It's not just the latin vocabulary for church and liturgy. It's basically the names of churches which followed latin words till modern times, although there is huge pressure NOW by the Greek Orthodox Church, to change the centuries-old names of churches into greek ones. So, no year 732...

Taking in consideration that an accumulated Greek sample would have a score of more than 0.02, it would be very interesting if we had some regional score from Albania too, as some of those regions would have a really tiny distance from this individual.

Ro. drac - Ar. drac, meaning "devil", from Latin 'draco' (which actually meant "dragon", and was the sense taken by all the other Romance) Alb – dreq, for “devil”, and later on Albanian got even “djall”, so same word used from two different waves of Latin in Albanian. Ro. cutremura(re) /...
