I don't think so. Most of the Italian population that was there likely returned to Italy. Croatians are genetically close to Slovaks, Czechs, and Hungarians and not to Italy at all.

I have Montenegrin ancestry.

Montenegro = Duklja = Dioclea founded by Diocletian, populated by the Romans.

Dalmatia as well.

We have 45-47% Greek/Roman DNA just like Romanians for example.

we have some % of Celtic and Thracian Autosomal as well.

We are slavic for the reason we speak slavic languages, but all Dinaric, Pontid people descended from Roman Empire.

Emperor Diocletian was born in Dalmatia in 3rd century.

City of Solin had 60.000 of Romano-Illyrians who spoke predominantly Latin language.

Emperor Diocletian was obsessed with Dalmatia that he moved a large populace of Italy to the province of Dalmatia and Dioclea (modern Montenegro).

When Slavs came by the permission of Emperor Heraclius they mixed with those people which is why we have 50% Roman/Greek ancestry and 50% Slavic ancestry (just like myself).

Well we don't have information for Dalmatia, but Dioclea (ancient city near podgorica) was fully settled by the people from Italy. Rather large amount of people.

Romano-Illyrians are people who lived on Western Balkans before Slavic arrival, Illyrians were primitive tribal Greeks who mixed with Ancient Romans after SPQR conquered Illyricum in Bellum Batonianum (War).

Romano-Illyrians then mixed with Slavs and that's what we are today.

What I found for Dioclea:
According to an account from the Abbreviator of Strabo:

"Nothing was speared. The Slavs after killing whoever had remained in the city, took whatever they could, and destroyed every thing else. From the large library of Dioclea not even a book remained, after everything was burned down, not even one!"

I have Montenegrin ancestry.

Montenegro = Duklja = Dioclea founded by Diocletian, populated by the Romans.

Dalmatia as well.

We have 45-47% Greek/Roman DNA just like Romanians for example.

we have some % of Celtic and Thracian Autosomal as well.

We are slavic for the reason we speak slavic languages, but all Dinaric, Pontid people descended from Roman Empire.

With all due respect, I think you're approaching this a bit too simplistically. Those types were most probably native to the region long before that. Most anthropologists agree that they are of very ancient origin. I don't take that stuff in ancient Greek writings about everyone to the north having red hair at face value. Populations can't change that drastically and be replaced like that.

I also think you're exaggerrating the impact of actual Romans somewhat. They were mainly administrators and even then many in the army and who were sent to colonize were from around the entire empire. I doubt they were a significant factor in the ethnogeneses of these nations.

That being said it might not be absolutely negligible either, and a small amount may have gotten quickly absorbed and assimilated into the larger population around them.


We are just a stone throw away, but apparently none. Wich is curious. I m speaking more over on scientific proved Italian ancestry or exchange of genes from us to them:
https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VQ0HLRv2aO8/WUWKx3SRE-I/AAAAAAAACFI/qhyV50n8dRcfrVrmrdhqmUDVnUhodV6ZgCLcBGAs/s1600/23and_Me_Italian.png

Yeah that is interesting. They on the western part of the Balkans oddly have quite little genetic connection, despite what you'd think. So either the Dalmatians were mainly natives or if not they moved out or were overwhelmed by Croats later. But the present day ones still do seem distinct from Slavonians for example. So it points toward a probable cultural romanization of the area at one point.

I admit I thought it was interesting that many Romanians who I compared genomes with on 23andme actually did have a small (1-5%) amount of Italian listed there, including myself. But there needs to be more research. The field is still in its infancy. It will evolve more over the coming decades I'm sure.

I was looking up some genetic autosomal plots of European and other populations, and interestingly, Romanians aren't actually that far from some of their linguistic relatives on some maps, but I think it depends on the data and how they choose to display it.

Seems they pull much closer to southern or central Europe than far Eastern like Russia/Ukraine for example. Maybe Bosniensis is on to something. But I still think his analysis is overly simplistic and the native element far outshines whatever else. Populations always have at least some continuity with older ones and don't just start with a blank slate after a linguistic shift. Slavs of course were an important later layer too.

Also haplogroups can be misleading too. For instance many Latin American mestizos who have R1b as their paternal one are obviously not genetically the same as their Spanish ancestors.


Those are Vlachs who lived like Albanians, secluded on Mountains and they survived.

But true Vlachs who lived in Cities are completely assimilated into Serbs, Bosnians, Croats etc..

So now Vlach today is a term for Shepherds, but it wasn't like that in 6th century.

Actually I believe it was the cities that were the most depopulated after the tumults of the barbarian invasions around the beginning of the Middle Ages. The Vlachs in general were probably more of a country people to begin with, but at least from that time (as we can see by a loss of much city-life related Latin vocabulary). It was probably easier to survive in more isolated areas. However, many of the cities still show some continuity of name, although heavily altered. This was probably mostly due to the Byzantine imperial administrators.

Some Dalmatian have Venetian roots, it was us for more than 400 years so yeah but in the latest centuries most of Venetian descendants emigrated in Istria and Italy, nowadays there are few Venetian descendants, Croats took it supported by Habsburg and kicked all Italian speakers and Serbian ones :(

It was well deserved. Dalmatia is land of Croats, and all the others are guests.

Not anymore.

Btw, Serbs became majority in Knin after ww1. Should I mention it was Croatian royal capital ?

Well we don't have information for Dalmatia, but Dioclea (ancient city near podgorica) was fully settled by the people from Italy. Rather large amount of people.

Romano-Illyrians are people who lived on Western Balkans before Slavic arrival, Illyrians were primitive tribal Greeks who mixed with Ancient Romans after SPQR conquered Illyricum in Bellum Batonianum (War).

Romano-Illyrians then mixed with Slavs and that's what we are today.

Illyrians tribal primitive Greeks!!! That's really astonishing

I hope I have an R1a slavic haplo group I love slavicness I don't want to be Illyrian or roman

Y-dna it's not the same as DNA. It's only a very tiny portion of our genetic composition. British people and Hindu people are both R1 and still too different in physiognomy or physical appearance.

I think you have an identity crisis...
Once you want to be a Thraco-Illyrian, and than the next day a Slav.
Better your parents start watching on you...

The r1a comment was months ago dont pay attention to it. I am what I am A south slav. A mix of both but more paleo balkanic/thraco illyrian genetically speaking.

Hello! I was wondering where you found those images (not including the Eupedia map)? I tried to reverse search the first one (West_Central_Eurasia.dat) and only found other forums, not the original source. Thanks in advance!
