@VShyta@OfficialJovicic They know they wrong. They just trying to make propaganda against Albanians. This are serbs, but you guys in Albania still don't know them well.
@milosma61260957 “Every Balkan nation has nationalist narratives, not just Albanians. Calling all Albanian history ‘fake’ while ignoring international archaeology and academic research is propaganda, not argument. Ulpiana wasn’t excavated by TikTok historians but by archaeologists.
@acedoteth The list is not reliable as evidence that the Etruscan language was Slavic or closely related to Slavic languages. Most of these comparisons come from pseudo-linguistic internet lists rather than accepted historical linguistics.
@acedoteth Bylazora is attested in the 3rd century BCE, nearly 800 years before Slavic migrations into the Balkans.
Turning Βυλάζωρα into “Bila Zora” is folk etymology based on modern similarity, not historical linguistics. Not every ancient Balkan name needs a Greek meaning.
@acedoteth Pope Innocent IV did recognize the tradition in 1248 that St. Jerome invented Glagolitic, but that proves a medieval belief, not a 4th-century fact. Modern scholarship still attributes Glagolitic to Cyril in the 9th century.
@acedoteth Word lists aren’t proof. Many of these “Illyrian = Slavic” matches are uncertain, common Indo-European roots, or false similarities.
Example: Kralj comes from Charlemagne (Karl), not Illyrian. Med/medos exists across Indo-European languages.
Real linguistic proof needs sound laws
@acedoteth If Slavs were recent newcomers, why do Simocatta call them “Getae,” Nestor place their homeland on the Danube, and Kinnamos call Serbs “Dacians”?
Byzantine authors used archaic names—but repeated Balkan ethnonyms suggest continuity, not just a simple 6th-century “migration.”
