Winnifrith: "The lack of interest among Slavs for the barren mountains of Northern Albania would explain the survival of Albanian as a language"

So, why are there Slavs in the Carpathians, Alps, Montenegro or Bulgaria? Bebe Mușat (talk) 11:35, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Restructuring the article: Y/N?

Looking at the way this article is structured, I can't help but notice somewhat of a difference to how the one on the Origin of the Romanians is structured, in particular how that article's section "Theories on the Romanians' ethnogenesis" goes about explaining the theories by first going through the historiography, and then naming theories as "continuity", &c.

Meanwhile, this article lets linguistic considerations take up a lot of space without (from what I've seen) structuring it as "pro-continuity"/"pro-immigrationist" (or something along those lines), which I for once deem not as, uh... "überschaubar" is really the word I'm looking for here (though it might just be me, who knows).

Is there a consensus on whether the above might be taken into consideration, so that the article would then be restructured in a more easily legible way, e.g.

Theories on the Albanians' ethnogenesis

>Historiography: origin of the theories

>Theories of Illyrian/Western Paleo-Balkan continuity

>Immigrationist theories

>Obsolete theories

Anyways, thank you to anyone reading this for taking the time to do so. Lephilologueserbe (talk) 14:30, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
