    Arbëresh (arbërisht) is the Albanian language spoken by the Arbëreshë people in Italy.
    We had a 2nd Greek speaker for this video, but something came up last minute and they were unable to join us, that's why we decided to continue this way with two Arbëresh speakers (Martin and Lidia) and 1 Greek speaker (George).
    Greek (ελληνικά) is an independent branch of the Indo-European family of languages with a written record of over 3,000 years, easily making it the oldest documented Indo-European language. The Greek alphabet, originating from the Phoenician script, was the basis of numerous other scripts, such as Latin, Cyrillic, Coptic, Gothic, and Armenian. The Greek language has virtually impacted other languages in every corner of the world, being an important component of Western civilization, the Christian religion, and the language of some of the fundamental texts of science, astronomy, and mathematics. The Greek language today holds official status in Greece and Cyprus, and is recognized as a minority language in Albania, Armenia, Hungary, Italy, Romania, and Ukraine.
    Arberesh is a polynomic language with multiple dialects and is part of the "Albanian language family".

      What are you talking about? Preveza was Albanian until 100 years ago. People in Preveza are mostly Albanians who speak Greek that’s why these are Tosk Albanian words. I bet the teacher’s grandfather spoke Albanian but now they identify as Greek. Also, Arber-esh music and literature is full of lament and songs about Arberia (Albania proper which obviously included Preveza, Arta, Parga, Crete, Thessalonik etc.) The song “O e bukura More-a” is about the Arberesh leaving their homeland of Pelonnesus in Arberia.

      @@Usera2324dfre The notion of Greeks being ethnically homogenous and direct descendants of the Hellenes has been a persistent narrative, often used to foster a sense of unity and historical continuity. However, a closer examination reveals the complexity and diversity within the Greek population, challenging the simplistic portrayal of ethnic homogeneity and direct lineage from the ancient Hellenes.
      To begin with, Greece has been a crossroads of various civilizations throughout history, including interactions with Albanians, Romans, Byzantines, Ottomans, and others. This rich history of cultural exchanges has inevitably left an imprint on the ethnic composition of the region. Genetic studies indicate a diversity of influences, reflecting the historical interactions and migrations that have shaped the genetic makeup of the Greek people. This diversity challenges the notion of a singular, homogeneous ethnic origin.
      Moreover, the concept of ethnicity itself is complex and dynamic. It is not solely determined by genetic factors but is also influenced by cultural, linguistic, and historical elements. While the Hellenes were indeed one of the ancient tribes in the region, claiming a direct ethnic lineage from them oversimplifies the intricate processes of cultural assimilation, intermixing, and acculturation that have occurred over centuries.
      Language, often considered a key marker of ethnic identity, also presents complexities. The modern Greeks language belongs to the Indo-European family but is distinct within this linguistic group. While it has roots in the Hellenic language, linguistic evolution and influences from Latin, Slavic, and other languages have contributed to its unique character. This linguistic complexity challenges the notion of a straightforward, unbroken linguistic continuity between ancient Hellenic and modern Greek.
      Historical records further complicate the narrative of ethnic homogeneity. The region has witnessed migrations, invasions, and changes in political control, all of which have contributed to the diversity within the Greek population. The medieval period, for example, saw the influx of various groups, including Slavs and Normans, leaving lasting cultural and genetic impacts.
      In conclusion, the idea of Greeks being ethnically homogenous and direct descendants of the Hellenes is a simplistic narrative that does not fully capture the complexity of Greece's history and the diversity within its population. Genetic, linguistic, and historical evidence points to a more nuanced and multifaceted reality, highlighting the need to approach the question of Greek identity with a recognition of the intricate processes of cultural evolution and interaction that have shaped the region over millennia.

    As an Albanian from Northern-Kosovo:
    I expected Dhrom to be "room" as it is "Dhomë" in Albanian.
    My parents have used Gjitoni as in "E bajm per gjitoni or " meaning we´ll do it for a larger group of people. Gjinja or Gjin means people in general. Most use the Turkish loan words "Mahalle/Kujshi" for neighbourhood and Fqin for your nearest neighbour.
    While we use the word "prifti" for priest, we usually refer to people who adheres to the church as people going "te papa/popi".
    E stolisa/dekorova for decorating.
    Parkales is a false friend as we´d understand it as "parakaloj", or "a muj me parakalu" as in, may I go before you.
    Louloudia is Lule (flower).
    It is thought that the word "gheg" is related to the understanding of words which fits with the colloquial meaning of gjegje. Just as some believe Shqipetar is explained through the word "Shqipetoj" and the word for Serbs/Greeks in dialects where related to "non-speakers" through Shkja/Shkije.

      Dhomë is IE, cognate with the Greek δώμα /ˈðο̞ma/ (n.) = room and the Slavic Rus./Bul. дом, Cz. dům, Pol. dom.
      Dhrom on the other hand is clearly of Greek origin, δρόμος /ˈðɾο̞mo̞s̠/ (m.) = street, cognate with Russian дрёма = dormancy.
      Gjitoni is also of Greek origin, as neighbour is γείτων /ˈgeːt̠ɔːn/ (m. or f.) in Ancient Greek, γείτονας /ˈʝit̠o̞nas̠/ (m.) γειτόνισσα /ʝiˈt̠o̞nis̠a/ (f.) in Modern Greek, with no cognates outside Greek as it's probably a substrate word (ie from the unknown language spoken by the Pre-Greek people(s) that lived in the area before the arrival of the IE speaking people).
      Stolisa is also Greek, from the feminine noun στολή /s̠t̠o̞ˈli/ = distinctive clothing, but in Medieval Greek meant decorative garment, equipment.
      Λουλούδι-λουλούδια /luˈluði/ (n. sing.)-/luˈluðʝa/ (n. pl.) is definitely Albanian.
      As is γκέγκε /ˈɟe̞ɟe̞/ used only in interrogative sentences as a colloquial way to ask if our interlocutor understands what we're saying. It's a bit rude.

      @@ENDANGERED-LANGUAGES I´ve been to several Arberesh villages in Puglia, Calabria and Sicily. I met the mayor of San Marzano di San Giuseppe who explained to me that the individual background and isolation means all villages speak Arberesh in a different matter. They claimed to be of mix background (both northern and southern), while in Falconara Albanese, they all claimed to be from Shkoder.
      You also mentioned that inhabitants of Santa Cristina Gela and Hora are from Morea. Most people I spoke to claimed heritage from Himarë however. Is there a reason for this?
      Also; In Kosovo I´ve noticed how vastly each village differs from each other in terms of vocabulary. In order to seem more "civilised" and speak like the city dwellers, most people will try to implement Turkish words used in Standard Albanian, thinking it is more correct.
      In my experience, the words Albanians from Kosovo use, especially for foods and food related items are much more in common with Greek than Turkish, while Albanians from Albania tend to use the Turkish equivalent. I didn´t realise this until I dated a Christian tosk girl who´s family lives in Greece. They kept commenting on why I kept calling asking for everything in Greek, while I wondered why they were using Turkish words in Albanian. This doesn´t really make sense to due to the geographical proximity to Greece.

Papa is also understood, although people might think of the Pope first. Dhaskal and jatro are archaisms, and the older generations in southern Albania probably still recognize these words.

    There are similarities because they are essentially the same people that diverged into different cultures. Even in Albania itself they speak unique dialects per city that some native albanians have a hard time understanding. Communication was difficult in ancient times so translation would get slightly skewed by different interpretations so teaching the ancient language diversified many different nearby towns and villages as the interpretation was slightly different because there were no means for accurate information like today where we can use the internet or mass publish books. You had to teach the language in-person and interpret it yourself as a teacher. Your students would teach the language in their own interpretations and so the language would fork into many similar ones.

    Nothing strange here. The vast majority of Arbëreshes of Sicilia came from Peloponnese, Greece. Yes, they were Albanians and a small part of them still speak Albanian, but at the time they moved (centuries 16-18th) from today Greece to Italy, their Hellenization process had already started.
    Additionally to that, is that some similar words in Greek and Albanian language are of Proto-Balkan origin.
    ....
    "Parkales" mentioned here is the bridge between "parakalo" in Greek and "perkul/ perkulesh" in Albanian (bow, incline, kneel).
    Similar discussion for the word "gjitone" - neighbor, used identically in Greek and in Albanian Tosk dialect, a word of Proto-Balkan origjin.
    English "neighbor" = Albanian "ngjitur" (shtepia ngjitur)., which itself comes from the root "breast". " n' gji-tone" = "close to our breast"

IM talking specifically about words from both languages that have a common origin.
      Such as Albanian "Flet "(Speak) and Ancient Greek "Apeilḗ" (threat) both coming from PIE "*h₂pelH" (to speak publicly)
      Albanian Yll (star) and Ancient Greek hḗlios (sun) coming from PIE "*sóh₂wl̥" (sun).
      Albanian "Zot" (god/sky god) and Ancient Greek "Zeús" (Sky god) coming from PIE "*dyḗws" (sky god/heaven)
      Albanian "Me" (with) and Ancient Greek "meta" (with) coming from PIE "*meth₂" (with/in between)
      I'll include another cool one I noticed such as Albanian "Dhe" (earth/soil) and Ancient Greek "De" (earth/soil) which is said to be from a Balkan source most likely Albanian.
      All of these can be looked up on wiktionary that explain the evolution of words. You should check it out instead of claiming this is ridiculous.

      The today's Greek language derives from the Phoenician Roots of Liban. Dating back to an outsider Origins and does not originate from the ancient Pelasgian language. Only Albania and ancient Graika scriptures are Pelasgian. Ancient Graika (graikoi) language is that what they call Old Greek. Why there is a new pseudo-Greek. Because Russian Empire and post-Empire decided to divide the real-ancient-Graikas with the so called Albanian-language in order to orphanage the Albanian' (see below the explanation) out of antiquity and as a non-Pelasgians-one by spreading the "fake-cut-ties" expulsion from antiquity. But their foremost goal was to easily assimilate the Albanian under Slavism, by exposing them, as "seemingly" explained, without antiquity, they had more chances to utter fake calls that Albanians are outsiders and mostly saying they are Turks, but seemingly exposing themself the ferocious new conquistadors of the Pelasgians.

    Albanians of today are by majority muslims, after their decision for massive convertion to sufism and islam 3 centuries ago. So, the Arvanites of Greece today are practically are the bilingual Greek Orthodox people of south albania and north western greece who moved to Peloponese when Ottomans occupied their lands. Then some of them fled to south italy. Arberesh in this video is purely greek

    Arvanites don’t speak Albanian; the Albanians spoke Illyrian. Simply put, the Arvanites are a Greek ethnic group and they got their name from Arvanon, a place in Epirus. Historically, the Arvanites were close to other Greek ethnic groups and they were Christians. During the Greek Revolution, they fought against the Albanians who had joined forces with the Ottomans because they were Muslims and formed the 'Turko-Albanian' forces. Many times during the Greek Revolution, the Arvanites not only fought the Albanians but also defeated them. You can still find proud Arvanites in southern Albania who raise the Greek flag all over southern Albania, and many of them have been jailed by the Albanian regime.
