Pronunciation of the alphabet

Origin and history of Montenegrin and Serbian languages


The image shows Danube writings that are 7-6 thousand years old. These are Balkan writings, the oldest on earth. Based on these characters, the Cyrillic alphabet was developed, based on the Greek language of the Byzantine Empire. The Latin alphabet was influenced by later Phoenician and Greek writing.


V and X are the most common signs in inscriptions.


βρα Ἰλλυρίων

βρα - ὑπὸ - ancient Illyrian - Balkan words at the beginning of our era look almost the same as Roman and Greek



The Roman Empire at its height, 117AD



Extent of the Byzantine Empire in 3 Different periods




Illyricum /ɪˈlɪrɪkəm/ was a Roman province that existed from 27 BC








Slavic tribes after the 6th century were immediately beyond the borders of the Roman Empire. The area of the Byzantine roots in their languages is comparable to the spread of Western European languages with Romance roots. The border of the Roman Empire did not mark the living area of the same people since ancient times, but it represented a temporary administrative division from the Roman perspective. It is known that some Illyrians left the Roman Empire's borders, refusing to be under Roman rule in the 3rd century AD. Since they lived in the Danube region, crossing the border meant either swimming across the river or traveling a bit further along it. This makes it clear why Slavs are found along rivers connected with the Danube, as well as along rivers linking the Mediterranean, Black, and Baltic Seas.


The map below shows the region of the Vinča culture, which is considered the cradle of European civilization, being the earliest peaceful, highly developed urban culture, dating back around 7,000 years. Archaeological sites in the same cities have revealed layers up to 10 meters deep, where cultures continuously succeeded one another until Byzantine times and beyond. It is evident that the borders of the Roman Empire and Illyria divided the unified living space of the local tribes into two parts, approximately in the middle from top to bottom. The southernmost point of the culture’s spread is the city of Thessaloniki. This supports the idea that Illyrians and Slavs are the same people, having lived in the Balkans for around 7,000 years. This also explains the striking similarity in the grammar of Serbian, Montenegrin, and Greek languages. The Vinča culture had a market with goods arriving from the Adriatic and surrounding regions via the Danube. This indicates that they had no difficulty spreading further along the rivers when the Romans began exerting pressure in the first two centuries AD.



Roman military charter - permission


Teuta (Illyrian: Teutana, 'mistress of the people, queen'; Ancient Greek: Τεύτα; Latin: Teuta)


The Balkan communication system consisted of several elements, with writing being just one of them. Many symbols can be found on artifacts buried in tells (burial mounds), widely known in Bulgaria as Thracian tombs. The name is not coincidental, as tells are found throughout Bulgaria, in areas historically inhabited by Thracian tribes along the Danube. The Illyrians lived west of the Danube (Illyria), and the Thracians lived to the east, but ancient artifacts indicate that this was the same culture. Thracians also lived in territories as far as the Black Sea. In those parts of southern Romania inhabited by the Thracian tribe of the Getae, who migrated as far north as present-day Belarus, there is a high concentration of tells. The "Getae" became known in later chronicles as the "Antes"; together with the Dacians/Venedi, they were grouped under the common name Sclavini (Slavs). The highest concentration of tells is in the Thracian Plain, in the territory of the Odrysian Kingdom (from the Thracian tribe of the Odrysians). Such tells (burial mounds) are also found in Anatolia and the steppes north of the Black Sea; the latter are concentrated in areas once inhabited by the Bulgars - there is a village named Bulgar on the Volga River.
