There were čakavian muslims in pockets on north Bosnia until two generations ago, I had that confirmed by person from there and I had no idea about it.
His grandfather was from Novi Grad across Dvor na Uni.

The point is that the is always a cline with neighbours, if there is lack of it it is usually due to lack of samples.
There was no hard wall between south Serbia and north of Macedonia historically and linguistically they are similar.
So between them I except few % difference and nothing drastic, than Baltic going to lower values as you say moving south towards Greece or west towards Albania.
But good job, keep up your work :)
That person probably don't know what is chakavian. He probably confused šćakavian isogloss with chakavian. Linguists never recorder any chakavian speech in BiH.
He is probably like one Serb from Vrlika are who claim that his ancestors spoke chakavian. He confused adriatisms which existed in whole Dalmatia with chakavian. Village of his ancestors (Maovice) was neoshtokavian ikavian, it's well known. Chakavian speech is not recorded in any corner of Dalmatian hinterland same as in BiH.
But i would say again that you are wrong, any similarities with Serbs is because we lived under their occupation, so my town Kumanovo yeah , there is for sure 10% Serbian population which is assimilated with Macedonians because is close to Serbo-Macedonian border,but even that North gedmatch results from Macedonia are not similar to SouthSerbs, even Kumanovo reference from Eurogenes K13 (Macedonian_North) Full Macedonian, have nothing with Serbs in closest populations.
But again i think results saying something different ,but again thats just your opinion, everyone have their own opinion.Cheers ! :thumb001:

No need to get upset, I tought Croats had nothing to do with Serbs also when we tought old Eurogenes averages and some academic papers were fully reliable, turns out I was wrong.
Always opened to learning new things and adjusting opinion to new facts. So I trust what you say, ofcourse.
Let's keep collecting samples and improving our knowledge! :)
Lelas. From Kosore (Vrlika), Dalmatia.
There's a gedcom assigned to the kit so i was able to check out the surnames. This woman seems to have a Croatian father and a Serbian mother (the village was mixed):
Spoiler!
Croatian father for sure https://actacroatica.com/en/surname/Lelas/
Serbian surnames from Kosore are Bodrožić, Arnaut, Ivančić, Knez, Medić, Mišina and Utržen.
In Kosore in 1991 Croatians were 67% and Serbs 33%.
Another kit with a gedcom.
Đorđević - three grandparents from Šumadija and one from the Moravica district (in western Serbia):
