A Serbian Journey

Origin of the Serbs

The name "Serb" is non-Slavic in origin - original Serbs were overlords of the Slavs.
The name 'Serb' designates not only the population in the invaders of the Balkan peninsula
but of Lusatia as well. Lusatia, a region in Eastern Germany is inhabited by a nation the Germans
call the Wends from which the Greeks derived the word Venedi, alb. vendi 'homeland, country'
hence an Illyrian not Slavic name.

The name "Serb" is e neologism from the ancient homeland of Serbs, Sarmantia
an ancient district between the Vistula River and the Caspian Sea, occupied by the
Sarmatians [Lat. Sarmatae] from the 3rd century B.C. through the 2d cent. A.D.

The term is vague and is also used to refer to the territory along the Danube and across
the Carpathians where the Sarmatians were later driven by the Huns. The Sarmatians,
who until c. 200 B.C. lived E of the Don River, spoke an Indo-Iranian language and were a
normadic pastoral people related to the Scythians (see Scythia), whom they displaced in
the Don region. The main divisions were the Rhoxolani, the Iazyges, and the Alans or Alani.
They came into conflict with the Romans but later allied themselves with Rome, acting as
buffers against the Germans. They were scattered or assimilated with the Germans by the 3d cent. A.D.

The common Indo European phonetic mutation allowed -m > -mb > -b from Sarmoi > Serboi.
The name of Sarmatians derived from PIE Root / lemma: ker-6 and k̂er- : 'dark colour; dirt, etc'.

Serbs would retain their sumptuous Turkic names in contrast to their Slav mercenaries called Slovenians.
Bosnia was populated by an Illyrian tribe called Besoi which eventually drowned under the Slavic tide.
Montenegro would be called by Serbs as Crna Gora 'black mountain'.
The true Slavs who defeated the Avars in the Balkans were actually Slovenians.


Etymological Dictionary of the Proto-Indo-European Language Pokorny's Indoeuropean etymological Dictionary:
"Serboi earlier Sabar originated in the shores of the Caspian Sea.
The forefathers of Serbs were not Indo European but Caucasian"..


Acoording to the Book: The Native Races of the Russian Empire by Robert Gordon Latham:

(Page 200) : "The stocks that have lost the ground that the Sarmatians have gained
are the seventh and fifth of our list - the Skipitar (or Albanian) and the Ugrian.
A case may be made in favour of the original area of the preserved Albanians being carried
somewhat farther northwards and considerably further eastwards. Whether ancient
Macedonia and ancient Thrace were at the very earliest Sarmatian - they were more or less
Albanian or Skipitar. I do believe that the Slavonians which now lie and at the beginning
of the historical period lay between them are intrusive".

and...


in the Book: An historical geography of Europe: 450 B.C. - A.D. 1330,
Norman John Greville Pounds (1977) the Author says on page 51:

"The Thracians, who lived east of the Illyrians and stretched to the Black and
Aegean Seas, are said to have differed only dialectically from the Illyrians" .
Which means, that the Thracians were a NON-Slavic people.


John Van Antwerp Fine - in his: The early medieval Balkans: a critical survey (1991):

(Page 2): "The Illyrians and Dacians were able to retreat into the mountains
at the time of the Slavic invasions and retain their identities".

Illyrian peninsula (Balkans), year 1861 - "Illyrian or Skipetarian (Albanian) race"

Here we can clearly see that in prehistory before the year 600,
the Balkan Peninsula was a "Serb-free-zone".
