southeastern europeans share large numbers of common ancestors that date roughly to the times of the slavic expansion around 1,500 years ago. the eastern european populations with high rates of (ibd) are highly coincident with the modern distribution of slavic languages including hungary, romania, greece and albania, so it is speculated for slavic expansion, anyway it was concluded that additional work and methods would be needed to verify this hypothesis. this study detects a considerable connection between bulgarians and north slavs that is the result of migrations no earlier than 1500 years ago. a study on genetic admixture filtered to 474,491 autosomal snps and including 18 bulgarians concluded that there is a recent excess of identical by descent sharing in eastern europe, and recent period of exchanged segments speculating that this may correspond to the slavic expansion across this region. a signal at a low frequency among balkan slavs was detected that may have been inherited from the medieval slavic settlers, but it was confirmed that this issue requires further investigation. the short genetic distance of south slavs does not extend to populations throughout the whole balkan peninsula and they are differentiated from all greek sub-populations that are not macedonian greek. the south slavs share significantly fewer identical by descent segments for length classes with greeks than with the group of east-west slavs. most of the east-west slavs share as many such segments with the south slavs as they share with the inter-slavic populations between them. this might suggest slavic gene flow across the wide area and physical boundaries such as the carpathian mountains, including hungarians, romanians and gagauz. notably, the number of common ancestors within the last 1,000 to 2,000 years is particularly high within eastern and slavic-speaking europe. a high number of shared ibd segments among east europeans that can be dated to around 1,000–2,000 ybp was revealed. the highest percentage of the total number of shared pairwise ibd segments is detected between the group of east-west slavs and south slavs (41% from the total number of ibd segments detected); baltic speakers, estonians (40%) and "inter-slavic" hungarians, romanians and gagauz (37%). east-west slavs share these segments with western europeans (32%), volga region populations (30) and north caucasus (21%). south slavs also share 41% with east-west slavs and 37% with inter-slavic populations, they also share 31% with western europeans and 30% with greeks. however, per one pair of individuals east-west slavs share more ibd with balts than with south slavs, but not with the rest and the same amount with inter-slavic as with south slavs. per one pair of individuals south slavs keep sharing most ibd with east-south slavs and the same amount with the inter-slavic, followed by greeks and western europeans.
