Youngest ethnicity in Europe?

[Wulfhere]

probably Albanians and Bosnians because they're people who were born by a recent mixture (XV-XVI centuries) of dinarids and turks.

Yes, any nation that is the cultural offspring of Turks, such as Albanians or Bosnians, is clearly very recent.

Estonians? Their ethnic identity dates to the 18th century, according to Wiki:



Karl is going to shit icy Nordic venom when he sees this.

Interesting.

Serbs are mixed because of their loyality to ottoman empire and familiar relations with them during ottoman occupation period.

Yes, I know. And the Italian ethnicity post-dates those kingdoms by quite some time. To find out when it emerged, you need to find out when the Italians started calling themselves Italians, rather than Romans. The time of Dante has been proposed elsewhere.

I concorde, but i put a back a little.
Carolus Magno and Longobard kings referred to italians yet as "romans/latins", while the first who talk about "italiana gente" in a letter to Emperor of Germany was king Arduino D'Ivrea of Italy (955-1015).
I would put our modern ethnogenesis abput in this time (900-950 A.D. circa).

Uh, what? There were Albanians fighting against the Turks, so the Albanians are obviously older than the Turkish conquest of the Balkans.

Yes, sounds very reasonable.

Estonians?:

Not really. Even our national flag is among the 10% oldest flags in the world. Already in pre-medieval times, the Estonians knew who they are. If any foreign enemy came, then all the different counties united against the enemy.

I would say that the English are a considerably younger ethnicity than us. A subgroup of the Estonians, the Seto people are the oldest ethnicity in Europe.

Back to the topic: My guess would be the Kosovars.
