New regional division of Europa map (Feiichy 2022 verison)

Yeah, I definitely find Greeks and to a lesser extent Albanians to be noticeably darker and quite distinct from South Slavs, even though Sikeliot in particular used to have a go at me for saying as much.

Does Sikeliot think that a country directly to the North of another country can be darker?

Depends. North Macedonians etc are genetically close to northern Greeks and some Albanians. Difference between Slovenians and them is very large. Both are south Slavs.

No, but he increasingly insisted that Greeks were heavily Slavic-admixed and 'much more European' than Southern Italians.

Yeah, but I find even Serbs and to some extent Bulgarians are noticeably lighter and more Central Euro-shifted than are Greeks.

They are heavily Slavic admixed compared to southern Italians indeed.

They are heavily Slavic admixed compared to southern Italians indeed.

They look more Eastern (in a Balkan sense) than do Southern Italians, but not really more Northern.

IIRC it's only the Northern tip of Greece, ironically also called Macedonia.

Because of splitting Czechoslovakia in two different zones and splitting Baltic States into different zones all I want to say is...

Spoiler!

THIS MAP IS MORE CREDIBLE THAN YOURS

on a serious note not so bad attempt, but maybe it would be easier to make clusters like in genetics for countries or fancy language distances graph but I have no idea how it could be done

It's whole of mainland Greece and even some islands like Crete (due to mainlanders migrations). Ofc more north you go stronger it is.

Genetics >>> pseudo science like antropology
