R1a diversity in Balkans

Yes, there are cognates, and Baltic nationalists already proclaimed Thracian as Baltic language.

The cognates imo are just from the fact that they are both Satem languages, Albanian shares cognates with Baltic languages as well and for the same reason. I highly doubt Thracian and Dacian would have stemmed from the Balto-Slavic language. But I can't argue that they may have had a common ancestor

I said it ironically, since you can found today on many portals by letto-lithuanian nationalists that Thrachian, Dacian, Slavic... all of them are Baltic languages (or "descend" from them) according to some latvians and lithuanians.

Tha fact that Balts preserved the most archaic language doesn't mean that proto-language is exclusively for them, but also for Slavs, and (perhaps?) also for Thrachians, Dachians... etc )

Yh I know, I was just trying to debunk it for those who actually believe it. Agreed
