thracian

Different versions of Galicia exist in most of Europe, from Cornwall to Galatia in Turkey (named after Thracian Gauls).

Also, there is very little evidence, perhaps none, that the Thracian language and the Dacian were closely related languages.

When Egyptian grain stopped, Thracian regions supported Rome so the roads in northern Greece improved.

It comes down to a common origin that Romanians and Albanians share in Thracian tribes.

Byzantium It's a Thracian settlement, and it had probably once been called Lygos too.

Can you say where you have heard about the Thracian wine thing?

These countries managed to save the vast majority of their Jewish populations (though in the case of Bulgaria, Macedonian and Thracian Jews were murdered).

Israel could do Greece a favor send some IDF forces to play as the Turks and war game a land invasion on the Thracian border.

That is what, in the last 30 years or so of scholarship, has excluded Illyrian and Thracian from playing any role in the Albanian–Romanian lexical isoglosses.

> Thracian has been conclusively shown to represent a different branch of Indo-European than Albanian, Has it?

There is the story of Thracian wine that required dilution with water of 20 parts to 1 — and in Roman times,still required dilution of 8 to 1.

> Without proofs of what an extinct language actually sounded like The respective phoneme inventories of Proto-Albanian, Vulgar Latin, and Thracian and Illyrian are well established.

The same has been shown for Thracian with regard to Albanian and so “Daco-Thracian” is not a substantiated relative.

As I said elsewhere in this thread, Thracian has been conclusively shown to represent a different branch of Indo-European than Albanian, so the idea of “Thracian/Dacian” playing a role in similarities between Albanian and Romanian is very out of date.

“Route 53 Route 53, the fleet-footed messenger of the gods, delivers your DNS traffic across the Internet with the speed of a Thracian chariot, and at a fraction of the cost.” Never underestimate the bandwidth of a Thracian chariot loaded with parchment barreling down the road.

While Albanian does show signs of belonging to a Balkan Indo-European subgroup deep in prehistory, it is not closely related to Thracian – Matzinger’s 2012 paper “Zur herkunft des Albanischen: Argumente gegen die thrakische Hypothese” in the Ismajli Festschrift conveniently sets out why.

Granted, that similarity between how Romanian and Albanian sound is most likely caused by our common Thracian/Dacian substrate.

Most authorities reject the concepts of aboriginal (or Thracian) in Slavonic, for Tatar and Finno-Ugric origin of the Bulgars.

Whether your genes have traces from the Illyrian, Thracian, Dalmatian, Greek, Slavic or proto-Bulgarian tribes, is a major force in international relations on that peninsula.
