>yeah i'm sorry but we are talking about Mediterranean people. Slavs aren't, or most aren't at least. Albanians and Mediterranean south slavs ain't done shit.
south slavs belong to slavic civilization, greeks as you know accomplished more than berbers, so you're left with just the albanians
>they were ethnically berber and part of the berber ""civilization"". whether they lacked some of the components western berbers did is irrelevant
no proof their language was berber and genetically they were likely not similar to western berbers just like the modern berbers in egypt >>17915698
>Byzantines identified as Romans, even the Ottomans identified as Romans. What does any of it change?
yet you're claiming "libu" (a misnomer) as some sort of turboberbers because there's a hypothesis they could have spoken something similar to proto berber even tho they were genetically likely very different, by this logic the fatmid were arabs
also the fatmid didn't just speak an arab language, they were from the middle east

>According to his official biography, he was born in Askar Mukram, in the Persian province of Khuzistan, on 31 July 874 (12 Shawwal 260 AH), or exactly one year earlier according to a different tradition.[1][2] Other traditions report that he was born in Baghdad or Kufa in Iraq, or the town of Salamiya, on the western edge of the Syrian Desert.[3] His original name most likely was Sa'id ibn al-Husayn, although in later life he insisted that is real name was Ali, and Sa'id was just a cover name
>His father died in 881/2, and Sa'id was sent to be fostered by his uncle, Abu Ali Muhammad, also known as Abu'l-Shalaghlagh, at Salamiya.
