Serbs had alphabet before Cyril And Methodius

[Lemon Kush]

No, Illyrians are Indo-Europeans who arrived here from Eastern Europe millenia later. Their culture totally replaced the ones who existed before. The symbols from Vinča are pretty rudimentary markings, so it's nothing spectacular that a few are going to resemble modern letters at least superficially. You can find similarities to Germanic runes as well, who are completely different from cyrillic. So, it doesn't mean a thing. And cyrillic wasn't even the first recorded Slavic script, glagolithic came before it.

Here's how those symbols look like outside of a cherrypicked chart made by complete charlatanes like Radivoje Pešić:

So Balkans had 2 waves of Indo-European migrations, first the Illyrians and then the Slavs. What about the Thracians?

The Thracians arrived in the same era as the Illyrians, but their ethnogenesis can't be discerned due to a lack of sources. Before the Slavs there was another migration/expantion though, I'm talking about the Celts who expanded from Central Europe and settled around the Danube, Sava and Morava valleys. One of their settlements was Singidun(um), present-day Belgrade.

Would you say us Balkan Slavs are more related to Celts or germanics overall?

The Vičansko pismo looks very similar to the Cyrillic alphabet bulgarians like to claim as their own, except it predates it by a few thousand years!

+1 mate!

Illryians lived there back in those times. Serbs have Illyrian blood as well.

Illyrians, Thracians and Dacians are all Serbs. They are just different names.

Those are pre-Indoeuropean populations predating Yamnaya culture and their migrations.

Cyrillic alphabet was literally made by Romans for Bulgarians and it was adopted by their subject peoples during the first Pax Bulgarica.

Balkans had dozens of migration waves of Indo-European and Altayic populations.

Proto-Illyrians were Indo-European Steppe Invaders bearing Haplogroup R1b and J2b-L283. Vinca culture was Neolithic, Illyrians were a mixture of Indo-European Invaders and the Neolithic population of the Balkans.

For everyone here, remember one! Cyril and Methodius created a graphic system of signs / letters /, which today is known as the Glagolitic alphabet.
This alphabet was conceived as a sacred writing system because it was intended to spread divine truths. The basis is the Thessaloniki Bulgarian dialect / which belongs to the Eastern Bulgarian Rupian dialects. /, which they mastered, subjecting it to a very careful analysis and separated these sounds, which had to be marked with letters - the alphabet as a concept for recording the Slavic speech
The Cyrillic alphabet, in which some Slavic peoples write today, was created later in the Preslav Literary School in Bulgaria in the first half of the 10th century.
The language of the translations in the works of the Preslav and Ohrid schools is the Old Bulgarian literary language.
The Serbs had nothing. As is well known, the Slavs wrote with dashes and dashes. "So before the Slavs had no books, but being pagans, they read and foretold with dashes and cutting «О письменах» (Прѣжде ѹбо словѣне не имѣхѫ писменъ. нѫ чрътами и рѣзами чьтѣхѫ и гатаахѫ погани сѫще. кръстивше же сѧ. римьсками и гръчьскыми писмены. нѫждаахѫ сѧ словѣнскы рѣчь безъ устроениа When they were baptized, they were forced to write the Slavic language in Roman and Greek letters without structure. But how can it be written well in Greek letters: БОГЪ или ЖИВОТЪ, или ДЗѢЛО, или ЦРЬКꙐ, или ЧАꙖНЬѤ, или ШИРОТА, или ꙖДЪ, или ѪДОУ или ЮНОСТЬ, или ѨЗꙐКЪ and the like. And so it was for many years. "
