A lot of norids,illyrian-Celtic connection

When i look at some Irish people i automatically think at Ghegs.

Lol what is purpose of posting over exposed photos like this one? You know everyone in that photo is several shades darker xD

These are all very random photos taken from a webpage and the classification is based more in features than skin pigmentation since skin can get easily tanned in southern balkan climate.

Especially during wars.

[Stefan_Dusan]

Norid + Dinaro-Pontid make up 75% of those pictures

Other 25% includes Dinarid, Borreby, Alpine, CM of some variations, pure Pontid

[Kastrioti1443]

I just want classifications in this thread, nothing else that might be off topic.

[Kastrioti1443]

Dinarid is the main element.

[The Illyrian Warrior]

Predominant: Balkan Borrebies, Dinarid also Norid with sharp CM influence, Dinaricized Pontids, Reduced Borrebies hence Alpinized types and few Dinaro-Meds.

Yea I noticed that too
This guy reminds me of a Scot

The guy in the right is my first door neighbor and looks exactly as in that photo, and the guy in the right is also my neighbor and kuma and he went by the name "Murrizi". Search him and you will see how he looks. btw he was married to Dutch girl prior to the war.

Stop bullshitting everyone can see the picture is overexposed.

[Skerdilaid]

Almost all Drenicaks, Borreby-Dinarid, Dinarid, North-Pontid, Norics, Alpine in this order. About six in there are my cousins.

[Herr Abubu]

Dinarids, Dinaro-CMs and a few other types in the minority. They have this very rustic appearance.

[Kastrioti1443]

A lot of norids,illyrian-Celtic connection

Norids have nothing to do with Celts and Celts had contacts and mixed only with the illyrians that were in today's bosnia, not further in south.

[Xanthias]

lots of Norids, balkan borreby, and very good and beautiful example of Dinarids

Didn't some albanian clan(s)origin from there?

Shkrelet are one of the main tribes where the legends of Kreshniks also known as Epos of Kreshniks ( Epos of Brave Men) was based on, the early war in 9 and 10th centuries of Ghegs against slavophonic principalities , but that has nothing to do with Celts.

[Smeagol]

Dinaroid-Norid-Borreby-Pontid-North Pontid-Carpathid-Gorid

Yeah, I agree.

[iNird]

noric, dinarid, borrebies, alpines, cm, northpontids.

pretty typical common faces.

[ChocolateFace]

Dinaric,Noric,CM,Alpine,Pontid are all common. DInaro-Pontid,Noric-CM,Dinaricized CM are the most common mixed types.

[Kastrioti1443]

Dinaroid-Norid-Borreby-Pontid-North Pontid-Carpathid-Gorid

No Gorid here.

[Cleitus]

No Gorid here.

Of course there is Gorid is very common among Albanians.

[Kastrioti1443]

There is no gorid here. gorid might be a bit common at females, in males is almost absent.

nuk eshte shum common per Shqiptar por ma shum neper femnat Tosk.

[kuqezi]

Dinaric is overwhelming dominant in most of these warriors.

[Kastrioti1443]

Mendoj se edhe versioni i depigmentuar i Dinarid dhe CM jane goxha te shumte ne numer ketu.

[RedLight]

Look as strong like me when I was 5 years.

[Shaljani]

Avni Elezaj was 17 years old when he killed Vidomir Shalipur(a serbian paramilitary ) in an ambush in Peja.

This thread is just for classifications, but this guy looks very Malsor.

[Kastrioti1443]

bump

[cally]

Typical Gheg faces. Many resemble the male members of my family. Pred Dinarid-CM with Norids present too.

[Scholarios]

One type doesn't seem to dominate- but that Celtic, Noric look does seem much more common than people recognize. Kosovars have a lot of paternal line homogeneity- but I also saw more Dinaro-Med and Alpine types ( mostly just in documentaries - check the Vice documentary on Yugoslav nostalgia)

If the issue wasn't so political the history of this place could be a damned interesting book.

[safinator]

Dinaroid-Norid-Borreby-Pontid-North Pontid-Carpathid-Gorid

This except the gorids.

[dralos]

dinarid or norid mixed with cm is most common

I just watched all five parts, and in Kosova they only stayed at Gypsy camps, and then moved towards Sarajevo. So in which part did you see the Kosova Albanians that looked majority Dinaro-Med and Alpines? They do exist but are not majority of our phenotypes. I would say the dipigmented Dinarid dominates, especially in the region where most of these fighters come.

[McCauley]

Yea I noticed that too

Sometimes there is a thin line between Keltic-Nordid and Dinarid. Often in threads where British people are classified, people will say either Keltic or Dinaric, because they have trouble distinguishing between the two.

This guy maybe verges on looking like a Keltic type, I don't know if it's just because of the pigmentation or what.

Keltic types are more on the Nordic side, and the Dinarid is more of an influence in most cases. This guy in other hand is clearly a Dinarid, but dipigmented and I would never mistake him for a Kelt or Brit.

Yeah it's usually just an influence, but you can find people that look like him in Britain.

This was like the template of a pure KN, imagine what he looks like when he was younger. Not too different from that Albanian holding the mortar:

Yeah, there are cases like this plate, but I think that they are not that common.

[McCauley]

Not common anymore at least. It seems like all British people now all have this Atlantid influence or something, and it softens their faces and makes them look less fierce. It may be because there aren't any isolated groups left in Britain, and all the rural people have mixed with city-dwelling types.

But somehow looking at these Ghegs it seems like they've managed to resist mixing with "lowland" populations like Pontids and stuff. They retained all those ancient features. They lack the softened appearance of city-dwellers that is so common in other places.

The guy on the plate is like a pure Bell-Beaker survivor.

Totally agree! These guys come from my region, and we have been traditional until very recently, so not much mixing happened with city folk. Cities like Prishtina are more on the Pontid side, still there is Dinarid but they have soften up quite a bit.
