were early Slavs just mongrel/watered down Balts?

Hello Berkan

Torlakian sounds softer and more Russian shifted neo-shtokavian.

and neo-shtokavian sounds like Slovak

[Pribislav]

and neo-shtokavian sounds like Slovak

Because of that Slovak is most familiar Slavic language outside of Balkan to me.

Speech in "Zona Zamfirova" (Torlakian) have more Old Slavic/Russian/Church Slavonic vibe than speech in "Orlovi rano lete" or "Prosjaci i sinovi" (Neo Shtokavian).

the r1a and i2a "tribes" were probably competely merged, by genetics and language, back in the proto-Slavic homeland. the clearer and stronger pronunciation comes from the "e-v13 Vlachs"

It dosnt sound that clear to me, more like East Slavic trying to speak a Romance language. Also Aromuns are more R1b, J2 and I2a2 from a 2005 study

i meant the pre-Slavic population of Western Balkans who were mostly e-v13. anyway a Portuguese can learn Serbian pronounciation easily, and we can learn Portuguese, but a Russian can study Serbian for 10 years and still speak with a strong accent.

I highly doubt that

Kriči were Latin speaking Vlachs who are slavized/serbified probably in 14th century, they were J2b-M205 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kriči

Early Slavs were just Balts basicly impregnated with some Greek sperm"in particular their YDNA", thats why some
Slavs score Peloponnesian or even Minoan Greek and how the Pontid and Dinaric phenotype came into Slavs

yes. but e-v13 is the 3rd most common haplogroup among south Slavs after i2a and r1a.
