About me
Articles
Balkans and Romania
- Romanians
- Origin of Romanians and Origin of Albanians — still not very complete.
- Balkan linguistic union — the Balkan people have more in common than they think.
Obscure topics
- Isaccea — a small Romanian town, but with a lot of history; some of my ancestors are from there, however I have never visited it.
- Voskopoja — now a small Albanian village, but at one time it was the second-largest city of the Balkans
- Dalmatian language — a now extinct Romance language of the Dalmatian coast.
