It's easy to locate where Albanian originated. You just follow where linguists claim it was in Late Antiquity on this map (though they forgot Lipjan in Kosovo): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proto-Albanian_language Y-DNA are also bottleneck / founder effects and many lineages might of been...

E-V13 from the Timacum Slog, Viminacium and Himera

It's pretty obvious that E-V13 did not originate on the Adriatic coast. But there are some lineages in Albanians that did come from there possibly such as J-PH4679 which even by rrenjet is considered to of been a lineage from the Mat region in North-Central Albania, possibly related to the...

Who exactly is arguing that E-V13 was on the adriatic coast ? The argument is that E-V13 was more inland of the Balkans where the profiles range from Illyrian-like to Thracian-like, Anatolian-like to somewhere inbetween.

Toplica-Presheva and Nish from where the Serbs expelled over 60k Albanians in 1877, and which turned Kosovo entirely into an Albanian enclave, it is obvious by the toponyms that it was originally inhabited by Albanian speakers which is where most linguists claim was the contact between...

Dardapara in Dardania or Dardani related to Albanian Dardhe ''Albanian typical toponyms formed with the same root as dardhë have been attested: Dardhan-i (in 1467 CE), Dardhanesh-i (1431), Dardhasi (1431), Dardas (1467), Dardhë-a (1417), Darda, Dardhicë-a (1431). Several modern toponyms are...

The guy you're quoting is a Romanian btw and none of his arguments are convincing and have been addressed. And claiming that I supposedly repeat nonsense just because it does not suit your own agenda..... I mean anyone who doesn't have the brain of a squirrel obviously knows that Lissos > Lesh...

If you had read my post nowhere did I say Albanian placenames in Albania follow Albanian phonetic evolution (Which is something that is rather open for debate and objective as some arguments have been brought up by other posters how many of these placenames show the same developments Lissos and...

The E-V13 samples we have so far aren't only South-Thracian but some plot somewhere between South-Thracians and Illyrians which matches Albanian autosomal DNA better rather than just Illyrian or Thracian. From Matzinger: The (older) opinion that serbokroat. Nîš comes from the Albanian...

Most linguists agree Albanian was even in Albania in Late Antiquity. Mat is considered an Albanian toponym. If you see the proto-Albanian wikipage. Lissos in Albania and Naissos in Dardania show the same developments btw. Nish and Shtip in Late Antiquity represent the easternmost expansion...

The toponyms that match Albanian phonetic evolution in that area are Nish and Shtip and possibly Lipjan. Anyway, toponyms provide evidence that Albanian was spoken both in Dardania and Albania in Late Antiquity.

Yes, Aromanians split from Romanian earlier. It is exactly Dardania that these linguists claim happened the contact between Albanian-Romanian.

So basically they expanded into Albanian land and took these lands from Albanian speakers, Nish was literally Albanian land... The Torlak dialect has Albanian-Romanian influence. Expansion of Slavs into these territories is also what lead to the spread of the Romanian and Aromanian language to...

Ok but lets get back to the toponym Nish here, the medieval Albanian population there was established that they picked up the placename from Albanian speakers and you can even see medieval Albanian toponyms there en. wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbana%C5%A1ka_Mountain (Albanian mountain) en...

Since you mentioned it, Shkupi and Shtip is also where the Albanoi were recorded. Stobi was right next to Shtip, and in Shkupi was recorded the name Dardanus in inscriptions and the name Dardania was recorded in Lipjan or Ulpiana. Thracians were also recorded there. ''In the archaeological...

The Thracian theory is rejected by experts including Vermeer and Matzinger. Shkupi follows Albanian phonetic laws from the Latin just like Sharr, Shkodra, Drisht, Lezha, Shtip and possibly Nish and Lipjan because they have continiously been inhabited by Albanians since the Roman era and were...

Prizren, just like Ohrid, is not of Slavic origin and definitely was not founded by Slavs, especially not Serbs. The Serbs raided and pillaged it. It is actually believed it was occupied originally by Albanians. Shkupi/Skopje was picked up from Albanian speakers too en wikipedia ...

You should read Willem Vermeer and Matzinger. Both of them reject the Bessi theori or a Thracian origin from Bulgaria.

Prizren in Kosovo is another toponym they picked up from Albanian speakers en . wikipedia.org/wiki/ Prizren ''Nine Albanian stock-breeding villages within the vicinity of Prizren are mentioned explicitly - these villages are known with the names Gjinovci (Gjinajt), Magjerci, Bjellogllavci...
