Why do Slavs in the Balkans claim they are the original inhabitants ?

[Scarface F]

Croat name coming from mountains is not widely accepted thesis.

Lechitic =/= Polish.

Outside of the fact that actually correctly speaking Lechitic = Polish, because it's the medieval Greek name for the Poles, which stems from the name Lechia/Lechici which is another name for Poland and Poles used in many different variants in various languages, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_Poland#Lechia
and likely stems originally from the name of Lędzianie (Lendians) which underwent several shifts, giving rise to for example, Lakh (Polish Lech, East Slavic Lyakh) etc., you're now alluding to how modern linguists tend to differentiate between Polish and other Lechitic languages/dialects, thus reflecting a much later diversification of the single language and the subsequent political developments which have nothing to do with times we're talking about (9th-11th century).

They basically invaded the indigenous Balkan people. Why do you think linguists claim Albanian, Romanian, Aromanian are related to some extent ? Aromanian is scattered into the Southern Balkans, probably triggered by Bulgar invasions or later Serb invasion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aromanians , there was also a demographic decline in the Balkans due to plaques etc , I don't know if I posted this but here it is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plague_of_Justinian , this weakened the empires defense. For example they did not find E-V13 in modern Albania which shows probably many people from other areas of the Balkans went into the mountains there at one point. J-L283 and R1b was present among Illyrians. Some of this E-V13 migrated later back into the inland Balkans. Some of the R1b and J-L283 probably originated more inland too or in other areas of the Balkans rather than among Illyrians on the adriatic coast, some of it was possibly however from some of the tribes there indeed which is why some names survive.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gora_(region) (Gora region in the South-West of Kosova , they are definitely Bulgarian speakers , as is or used to be Gollobordo in Eastern-Albania and the Luma region , these areas used to be bilingual. They invaded these areas in the 9th century or so.


I2a1b and R1a haplogroups in the Balkans are very well linked to these invasions and migrations . So it would be like me invading Germany then claiming I am the original inhabitant lol. And I am not talking about Croats here or Bosniaks, they mainly lived in their areas where they migrated and stayed in their lane, but these people definitely didn't stay in their lane. They kept invading and invading and invading.

We came here, we mixed with locals, and we are here to stay in Balkans forever.
Now cry and go "invade" Germany.

You will only stay if you have enough children, and Albanians are much better at that than you.

Nekad bilo, sad se spominjalo.
Its a long past.


These are nowadays trends:

Newborn population:

Albania

2012: 35,473
2022: 24,688

-30.4%



Serbian province Kosovo

2012: 27,743
2022: 22,632

-18.4%



Croatia

2012: 41,771
2022: 33,883

-18.9%



Muslim-Croat Federation in Bosnia

2012: 21,472
2022: 16,538

-23%





Republika Srpska

2012: 9,978
2022: 9,118

-8.6%



Serbia

2012: 67,257
2022: 62,700

Albanians, Croats and Bosnian Muslims have much higher decline among newborn population than Serbs.

You all are closer to extinction from Balkans than we are.

Fairy tales.
Among the Western Balkans and Türkiye, the highest shares of young people were in Kosovo (24.0*%; 2020 data) and Türkiye (22.8*%; 2021), while the lowest share was in Serbia (14.3*%; 2022).

These are official data of vital statistics, idiot.

Beside high decline among newborn population, Albanians are moving out in mass numbers.



28 percent of Kosovo's citizens over the age of 18 plan to emigrate in the first half of 2024. The age group under 24 is the most likely category to emigrate. However, from 2012 to 2022, over 338 thousand citizens have emigrated from Kosovo.

Based on a survey carried out in December of last year, the GAP Institute has estimated that 28 percent of Kosovo's citizens will emigrate in the first part of 2024, after the liberalization of visas, and that most of them are destined for Germany.

Nevermind. Nepalese are much better, more peaceful and civilized people than Serbs and Russians.
