What is dardanians?

Dardanians were an ancient Indo-European tribe that inhabited the region of the Balkans, specifically modern-day Kosovo, Serbia, and Albania. They were originally a part of the Illyrian tribes but later became a distinct group. The Dardanians were known for their bravery, fierceness, and military skills in battle.

Throughout history, the Dardanians were frequently involved in conflicts with neighboring tribes and were often targeted by larger empires such as the Macedonians, Romans, and Byzantines. The most well-known historical figure from the tribe is probably King Bardylis, who led his people in a series of successful battles against the Macedonian King Philip II in the 4th century BC.

In the 2nd century BC, the Dardanians adopted the Celtic culture and way of life, which influenced their social and economic systems. They also gradually integrated with the Roman Empire and became a part of the Roman province of Moesia in the 1st century BC.

Today, the Dardanians are regarded as an important part of the cultural heritage of the Balkans, and their legacy is celebrated through music, art, and literature. Their ancient language is extinct, and little information about it has survived.
