That is what I wrote before

Tyrrhenian is a subset of Pelasgian

not the reverse

The sources also indicate that some of the Attic population were
Pelasgian
that became Hellenic and renamed Ionian

I'm not sure what the confusion has been about

It seems very straight forward and clear

Additionally the Hellenic sources never state that Pelasgian
was a native or ancient language of Greece. This appears to come
from a misstranslation of Herodot. This misstranslation I posted
earlier.
