@Aspurg I am not sure about which name you are talking about? About the Meglen Vlachs, these are descendants of the Vlach-Bulgarians that lived in the region of Meglen during the Second Vlach-Bulgarian Empire. Of these people is also Dobromir Chrys. The Eastern Romance speakers were much...

Any reason why I was called upon in this post of yours? Of course I match Macedonians, both Slavic speaking Macedonians but also speakers of Eastern Romance as evidenced by the cousins in Shtip. Whether we call ourselves Македонци or Machedoni doesn't matter, we are basically the same people, a...

Tbh with you, don't give too much attention to these calculators. They are all made by various ordinary forum users like me and you. They are basically relying on G25 made by Davidski and his spreadsheets which there is nothing wrong with that. What's wrong is naming these categories as...

Hello Archetype0ne, You are right, these tests confirm that there is a great relatedness among people of different ethnic groups in the Balkans, especially in Macedonia, a region which has been a home place of people of many different backgrounds. However I am not sure that most people will...

Where is that RafC work? Are you talking about Argonauts of the Balkans? Anyway, I wouldn't be so sure about it. Western Europeans in general are huge Greek larpers because of their 'democracy' fetish. On the other hand, they hugely underestimate the influence of other Balkan people especially...

Quite interesting. No Albanians in this subclade thus far as I can see in their project but there are Bulgarians, Greek Vlachs and Serbs. Possibly mediated by the Balkan Latinophone people in the Slavic countries of the Balkans. Also, one of the Etruscans in the resent study about Rome in...

@Aspurg I remember you advocated Cuman and other Turkic heritage of your line. Someone who is apparently very knowledgeable and enthusiastic like you should have picked up by now that your subclade has nothing to do with any Turkic people apart from the reason that with the Hallstatt expansion...

Agree Agree as well Ok, the Dorians are an enigmatic puzzle. I agree that E-V13 in Greece has much to do with post BA collapse and since those Dorians are only mention after this post BA collapse then probably your observation is correct. One such subclade very diverse and probably the most...

@Riverman I guess you replied to my post although you haven't quoted me. Actually we have lot more DNA of ancient Greeks than we do for any kind of other ancient Balkan people. For example, the territory of modern Albania and North Macedonia is largely unexplored. We have samples from pre-Greek...

So close to a Mycenaean? It looks bogus... If this is real I don't think this is actually a Mycenaean ancestry but probably pre-Greek Pelasgian ancestry that was shared among the Thracians, Illyrians and Greeks. img upload And why there are no Slavic samples here at all? We have enough...

The creek is clearly doing what creeks do all the time. Trying to make Arbereshe something distinct from Albanians, of course is nothing new in his country. He doesn't understand that having less J2b doesn't mean that this population wasn't Albanians but that they probably descended from South...

And what does that have to do with the thread at all?? By the way, how could we know if the Albanians are native to their current habitat instead of Dacia for example?

There is no evidence for what you are saying but there is a lot of evidence that E-V13 and the direct ancestor of all E-V13'S today lived in the Neolithic Cucuteni-Trypillian culture. And these guys were among the first builders of large settlements in Europe, way before the Steppe invaders came...

Yeah, many fanatics don't understand, however the term Macedonia was first applied in the 19th century by the Greek priests and clerics after the abolishment of the Ohrid archbishopric in order to attract and hellenize the Bulgarian population in Macedonia(the historical one of course). Prior to...

Well yeah. there are similarities with the Albanian language as well especially when it comes to the grammar. Check this out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balkan_sprachbund As for CTS9320, it's indeed from a Central European origin... I've been discussing about it since a while that it looks...

You probably mean of a subclade of E-V13 with Poles, Russians, Serbs, Bulgarians etc. on it for a clear Slavic marker? I wasn't thinking about that and we probably won't find many such branches because simply E-V13 was not an important marker in the proto-Slavs. When I say migration with the...

So many bottlenecks with a TMRCA in early Medieval? Strange coincidence... I was referring to this: http://www.open-genomes.org/analysis/E-M35/E-M35_ancient_DNA_on_the_YFull_6.01_tree.html

Thanks for the information about the word 'shkja'. Anyway, to answer some of your questions... Many of the clades under E in the Balkans show a common TMRCA in the early Medieval and also under CTS9320 as well... That is an indicator of a migration in that period. Moreover, the brother clades...

I was thinking about the same for a while and I think your thinking is not far from the truth... This particular subclade(but not only this one) looks like it might have to do a lot of things with the Pontic steppe and the north Black Sea coast. As such, I am tempted to connect it with the...
