Ancient Albanian alphabet

[Trilecce]

yes I am


For example, Niketas Choniates (or Acominatus, 1155–1215 or-16) in his history about Emperor Ioannes Komnenos: "... Shortly after this, he campaigned against the nation of Triballians (whom someone may call Serbians as well)

the much later Demetrios Chalkondyles (1423–1511), referring to an Islamized Christian noble: "... This Mahmud, son of Michael, is Triballian (from Mother side)

Older than you Afro Greeks

Geographical reference, not ethnic reference.

[Wrong]

Dude, your not triballians... Triballi actually means something in albanian. It means three tribal leaders, or three chiefs.

True.

[Bosniensis]

Triballi of course... NEVER CALLED THEMSELVES TRIBALLI...

Triballians never heard for that Term.

It's HOW GREEKS called Triballians.


"Means something in Albanian" ROFL.....

Greeks said Triballians (OR HOW THEY CALL THEMSELVES - SERBIANS)

The Todhri alphabet is an 18th century Albanian alphabet invented for writing the Albanian language by Dhaskal Todhri (born Theodor Todhri Haxhifilipi).
It is a complex writing system of fifty-two characters which was used sporadically for written communication in and around Elbasan from the late eighteenth century on.

The Todhri alphabet was discovered in Elbasan by Johann Georg von Hahn (1811-1869) who published it in 1854 his work Albanesische Studien in Jena.
He considered it to be 'the original' Albanian alphabet and a derivative of ancient Phoenician script.

Leopold Geitler (1847-1885) and Slovenian scholar Rajko Nahtigal (1877-1958) subsequently studied the alphabet, concluding that it was derived primarily from the Roman cursive.

What Alphabet did Albanians use before the 18th century?

Byzantines said that we Triballians (Thracians) inhabited Balkans well before arrival of Ionian Greeks.

Poles came to Serbia not Serbs myfrend.

Not me, it's at least 12 Greek historians you bigoted motherfucker.

You spit your own historians just so you can discredit us.

one and the same people

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

Could it be that South Slavs and Gheg Albanians descend from Pontian Greeks?
