Recently I found that some of them had the same R1a-L260 like me (data from Bosnjački DNK Projekat). This guy surname is Ibrahimovic.

They have the same haplogroups i.e. I2a1 and R1a like all South Slavs, probably a bit more E1b than ordinary South Slavs.
They are South Slavs, mostly Bulgarians who heavily mixed with Albanians.
Linguistically Gorani are most related (almost identical) with Serbs from Sredačka and Sirinićka župa.

Unfortunately. Only absent part is they.
Some are between Bulgarians and Albanians, some are closer to Albanians, even Greeks. Goranis should have a different composition.
I don't have an explanation for the language but there is a cultural link between Goranis and Pomaks. Traditions, costume, etc.
That's all within Albanian range. Gheg Albanians usually get Bulgarian or Greek_Thessaly as their closest match.
look at Kosovo Albanians and Torbeshi on this PCA

Ghegs predominantly get Tuscan and Greek Thessaly where there is no Albanian reference. From what I have seen in our project anyways. We get Bulgarian too and Romanian. But they're usually third and 4th if not 5th and 6th in nearest runs. I would show mine as example but I took my Gedmatch down when they started using DNA results for investigations.
Yes that is true, cause Gorani's are between 2 fires, Serbian and Albanian.
They used to be more Pro-Serbian, but after 90's war they shift more towards Albanians.
Because of those Pro-Serbian ones Albanians hate them (Albanian hate of Serbs is old as Egypt)
It's very sad how those people are teared apart by both Serbian and Albanian agenda.
Gora region - homeland of Gorani.

Albanians don't hate then. They just don't trust them. They're typically pro Serbian or both anti Albanian and anti Serbian. ironically they're Male custom dress is straight Albanian down to the hat. Genetically though I don't think theh will show Albanian like genetics. Probably Bulgarian and Serbian affinities.
this one could be a Goranac based on his surname.

Don't listen to Bosniensis. He speaks out of his ass. As far as I know we have no results of Gorani in our project, and certainly I have not seen any.
I doubt they would have a significant shift to Albanians. Gorani typically keep to themselves. They also typically dislike both Albanians and Serbs. I am sure some mixed, but this phenomenon is more typical of Torbesh/Pomak in Albania.
In actuallity many(or what's left) Pomak in Albania were absorbed into the Torbesh community. Pomak Muslims typically became a part of the Torbesh muslims. They mostly claim Albanian identity. Some times Turkish. The orthodox Christian Slavs of the region still refer to themselves as simply Bulgarian. Even though most are from Macedonia. Many left with the passport proposition from Bulgaria. However the Muslim ones stayed more often than not. They have similar customs with Gorani. Like the one with the geisha looking bride that's jeweled up lol.
I think we technically already do. Though like I mentioned it's complicated since most are counted as Torbesh and identify as Albanian. The ones from mixed bulgarian and albanian villages have typical ydna shared with other Bulgarians and Albanians. Of course no autosomal on them. Usually from Stebleva and Trebisht. They have become like Albanian montenegrins in a sense. Cross assimilation happened on the easternmost borders.
I can ask in the project if anyone has any results.
My family is in the westernmost region bordering the bilingual regions. Okshtun/Martanesh. Sadly some Albanians are even being assimilated due to the local schools being minority schools as Hoxha did little to build Albanian schools in the area. So they go to the minority slavic schools in the region and now some young gen Albanian kids speak Bulgarian. I would say from identity perspective ots very fluid like that of the Vlachs who usually identity and support the nation they are raised under.
