Do Albanians have Slavic ancestry? If yes, than how much?

[Roy]

I think they do as it is common for diffusion to occur even between groups speaking in very different languages, but it is clearly not much. I remember reading that it is around 10%, but how correct is that? The Slavic people with which they were in touch themselves are genetically only partially Slavs for a thousand years or more.

Nope, no slav

and that's all?

Most of genetic tests Albanians take, they score almost none Slavic, which is surprising to their geopolitical situation.
Marrying with other ethnics is in Albanian culture pretty rare.

Albanians as a whole are the least Slavic admixed people in the Balkans iirc.

So pretty much like Ashkenazi Jews then. Interesting. The core Albanian lands though have been very homogeneous though ethnically speaking.

Yeah , they are have "slavic" like rest of the Balkans , 20-30%.

This, they cluster with/are near to Northern Greeks after all and just like them they also have some outliers? clustering with regular Bulgarians and Romanians

They cluster close to Southern Slavs, but not because their slavic admixture but because of Southern Slav having Paleo-Balkan admixture....

all this after ancient Crna Gora collapse
