Thracian vs South Slavic (many words comparison)

[Bosniensis]

Ancient Thracian words in comparison to modern South Slavic group.

Is this enough to conclude the possibility of "slavic origins" on Balkans?


From the 30 additional words extracted from the Thracian toponyms and hydronyms 30 have very good matches in Bulgarian and the other Slavic languages. Lithuanian offers 16 matches, Greek 13, Latin 5 and English 4. We can see that again the Slavic languages offer the most and the best matches.

The resemblance of many names is so strikingly close that it can’t be called coincidence. And if we consider the fact that Thracian words were documented about 2000 years ago, it will not be an exaggeration to say that in fact they are identical with the Slavic ones. The comparision presented in the Tables 1, 2 and 3 has never been made by any scientist, who studied the ancient Thracian culture. That is why now we have the wrong impression that Thracians have disappeared into thin air and the Slavs came to the lands south of the Danube as invaders


Nobody has brought to attention the similarity of the Thracian and Old Slavic pantheon. In my opinion, Thracian Perkun corresponds to Slavic Perun, Thracian Seitovins to Slavic Sventovit, Thracian Ares to Slavic Jarovit, Thracian Balenos to Slavic Belen, Thracian Kerilos to Slavic Černobog, Thracian Zemi – Zemela to Slavic Zemina – Mati

Sira Zemlja. Even the common Slavic word for God – BOG is in fact the same as the Thracian one - BAGO – God. It

Shows that both languages are Satem, The pantheon is similar as both are IE pantheons

[Thracian]

We can not say Thracian is more related with Slavic because of just 30 words. For example Turkish and Sumerian have much more common words, also grammar is similar. But, we can not say Sumerian is one of Turkic languages. We do not have enough proof.

First, we need to figure out the Thracian grammar. However, we do not have good examples.

Ok but who are Thracians if not Slavs, only Slavs have similarities with them.

There are many IE pantheons and IE languages, but only Slavic one is aligned with Thracian one.

Thracians were more numerous than Greeks, they couldn't have disappeared into "Thin Air".

The Albanian language also has similarities if not more than Slavic but this is due to the fact that both are Satem. The Slavic pantheon is linked to every other IE pantheon that was in Europe.

Thracians were described as extremely red-headed by virtually every ancient author, I extremely doubt they were related to Slavs

Their Gods were described as extremely red-headed and since they were located in modern Bulgaria they could NOT have red hair like some other people.

You misunderstand.

I know what you're referring to - but there are a gazillion other references calling them red-haired.

The world used to be a very different place racially, why do you assume such continuity? The original Illyrians were of the Hallstatt type for example, yet today they are filthy Dinarids (joking!)

How do you explain virtually all their paintings showing them as brown-haired Meds then?

They may have been described as red-haired cause they had a higher frequency of it relative to their region. They also could have gotten it from mixing with Scythians.
