Illyrians (an interesting find)

[Bosniensis]

I the book of Greek Historian Chalkondyles, Tome III Book named "De Rebus Turcicis" Page: CCXXXVIII it says:

"Sarmatarum lingua similis est Illyriorum, Jonium ad Venetos usque accolentium..."

Which means: The language of Sarmatians is the same that one used by the Illyrians from Ionian sea up to Venice" and then he continues that some Illyrians take great pride in that how old is their language unlike their
neighbors who take pride in territories they hold. Then he said that same those Illyrians lived in Poland and Sarmatia.

Then on the same page he continues:

"..aus Sarmatas ab Illyricis, aut Illyricos a Sarmatis deducamus"

He actually isn't sure have Sarmatians descended from Illyrians or Illyrians from Sarmatians.

Later he is citing Strabon: "Bria Thracico sermone civitas, Selyos oppidum appellatur" which means: "Bria on Thracian means City, Selyios means Stronghold (village)"

And we all know that on Serbian "Selo means Village and Bria doesn't mean a city, but we use term "Briati" when we go to city"

I've got a tons of this content written by Byzantine Historians, still to decipher from Latin it's amazing really when you have 13th century Historian actually confirming that so called Slavic language is native language on Western Balkans since ever.

Thankfully old Serbian writers have this all translated already.

Yup. We are the true Illyrians. Albanians are just Hellenes with a different dialect.

Alright but what I said is obvious even from an airplane. Albanians and Greeks are practically identical autosmally and share the same ydna.

I agree, Albanians are Epirotes to me... and due their identical DNA with Greeks they are obviously NOT Illyrians for Illyrians are a separate people from Greeks.

Albanians just speak some hillbilly language of the past that has mutated into modern albanian.

In a nutshell, yes, like Dinaric Serbs that speak a hillbilly language that Croats call "Croatian" and Bosniaks "Bosnjacki"

Bosniaks are speaking Proper Serbian language (ask anyone) in fact people in Serbia are speaking inproper "Southern Serbian" language.

Nemanjić spoke like Bosniaks (excluding people from Sarajevo), ijekavica is older and more correct way of expression than ekavica.
