Balkan substrate edits

I would like to see your sources or at least, evidence for the words you suggest to be from a Balkan substrate to actually be from a Balkan substrate. Also, the etymologies you added are poorly formatted, with among other errors, capitalization mistakes. mellohi! (僕の乖離) 19:56, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

Hi, claims about a "substrate" needs to be sourced, since any such claims have a burden of proof on the person who presents them, since any claims about a mysterious substrate are unfalsifiable. The sources should also be reliable, as Balkan linguistics is a controversial topic with many fringe theories that should not be trusted. — surjection ⟨?⟩ 19:59, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
