That's complete nonsense, dude. Khwarezmians were Iranic. Please stop claiming everything as Turkic. This is the first time I've heard them being called Turks. What's next, Sogdians were a Turkic dynasty?

Speak like a men with me. I am the last person in who denies the existence of Iranics in Central Asia, there were a Turkic dynasty with this name there. So i didnt deny that there were an east Iranic language which was spoken there which also called so, but actually Khwarezmians are well known Turkic dynasty too. If you never heard of them its not my fault...

Kyp asked about the existence of a Khwarezmian people (not polity). And your immediate response was mentioning a Turkic dynasty in the region. This gave me the implication you considered the Khwarezmian people to be Turks. So if I misunderstood you, you should have been clearer. I probably shouldn't the tone, but I've seen lots of people on TA claiming too many things as Turkic, so that has grown to become my reaction.

Most powerful Illyrian tribes were actually the Dardanians, Autariate and the Ardiaei. They held large parts of Illyria under their rule and they also expanded into Macedonian and Epirotan lands such as the Dardanians. Both the Ardiaei and Dardanians held lands as South as Southern Albania.

All Illyrians that had access to the sea were building ships.

If we look at Strabo's geography he describes the Illyrian lands from Croatia to Southern Albania and even distinguishes them from their neighbors. So the term Illyrian must of meant a similar group of people in costumes, language and various other things, how else would someone be able to make such a distinction. Also they mingled with each other. Of course, there might of been regional differences.
