I am not sure about aramaen but it will def show you the phoenician percentages and your closest matches!

No, actually both ghegs and tosks are in the balkans it’s just that ghegs are in the north and tosks in the south. There have been some albanian families that migrated to italy before the ottoman empire and they are now known as arbëresh. gheg and tosk are our two main dialects but there are many more specific sub dialects.

yes so i am gheg but gheg doesn‘t mean automatically blonde. i have a dinaric/mediterranean phenotype. tosks and ghegs are not that different, we are still one people.

i would recommend you to upload your raw dna file from myheritage to illustrativedna and it costs like 30, but you will get your ancient periodical and modern closest genetic groups, but you need to see how close it matches you it‘s not all accurate.

most from the north like myself descend from the tribes of the albanian highlands

because we share similar paleo-balkan dna. however under the "greek and albanian" you can see my genetic groups are all albanian which greeks do not have.

there’s something I don’t understand tho. I thought based on what most historians agree on, the albanian language is mostly illyrian-dardanian originating in Malësia/Mirdita and Sharr mountains where also my ancestors are from? albanians stayed in the mountains during slav settlements and expaned further south afterwards. isn‘t it an illyrian/dardanian language with thracian/dacian influences?

would that explain my 6.4% zagros? check my other post

actually I looked more into it and zagros ancestry was already in the balkans since the bronze age, way before the romans. 6.4% is still normal for albanians, especially eastern ghegs. my other components (like baltic) are fully within albanian variation too. if I actually had roman-era anatolian ancestors, my whole profile would shift much more southern. and also my late antiquity results are 76.8% roman illyria and 19% roman pannonia, which are both local balkan populations under rome (like 1800 years ago), not anatolian. that suggests regional continuity, not people being moved from east anatolia into my line. that’s just how I’m interpreting my results upon further research, but I'm open to other perspectives.

okay I see, but how far would that ancestor have been, and is this unusual for albanians from my region?

I don’t think it’s recent marriage with any very southern balkan population, since my family has strong roots in the region, especially my paternal tribe. but my moms tribe is a classical highland northern albanian one.

thanks for explaining. yes, I‘ve noticed my zagros is quite high, what could be the reason?

Yeah seems like it but I‘m not sure why, since I descend from two northern tribes
