R1a diversity in Balkans

[Dick]

Recent you mean 2.000 years ago?

Tha prepei na pame gia mpyra kapoia stigmí.

[Pribislav]

How can Bosnians be part of R1a when 60% in average are I2,
R1a are predominantly Slovenians, and people from North-Eastern Serbia, and reason
for that are Slavic Migrations obviously.

On the other hand:

People from Southern Serbia are E-V13 predominantly just like Kosovars.

Wrong.

The strongest haplogroup among both southern and northern Serbs is I2a1b, not E-V13 neither R1a.

[Carpatz]

Thracian was close to balto-slavic languages.

I'm inclined to agree, judging from the vocabulary we know.

balios (Thracian), baltus (Luthuanian), belo (Serbian), white (English)
zilma (Thracian), zelme (Latvian), zelen (Serbian), greens (English)
udra (Thracian), ūdra (Lithanian), vidra (Serbian), otter (English)
gin (Thracian), gnins (Latvian), gnjiti (Serbian), spoil, decay (English)
brink (Thracian), brinkti (Lithuanian), breknuti (Serbian), swell (English)
kiri (Thracian), giria, gire (Lithuanian), gora (Serbian), mountain forest (English)
saltas, zaldas (Thracian), zelt (Latvian), zlato (Serbian), gold (English)
zum, zuml (Thracian), zmaj, zmija (Serbian), dragon, snake (English)

Wrong.

The strongest haplogroup among both southern and northern Serbs is I2a1b, not E-V13 neither R1a.

For Bosniensis, I2a is nationality and ethnicity. He calls I2a Ukrainians and Russians as Southern Slavs.

[Jana]

So the conclusion is, in the Balkans I2-din is more reliable marker of Slavic expansion compared to R1a ?

[Vlatko Vukovic]

Yes, there are cognates, and Baltic nationalists already proclaimed Thracian as Baltic language.

Some Swedes claim that Swedes are descendants of Thracians! www.osterholm.net/thracian.html

[Ülev]

Thracians descended from Trakai

Yes. Many science-fiction hypothesis we can see today.
