My best friend is a Tsakonas - in fact, his very name is Tsakonas: we’ve been best mates since childhood; I’m a Dorian myself (from Doris, in Central Greece, the original homeland of the Dorians before they made their way into the Peloponnese at about the 11th century BCE). In a manner of speaking then, as fellow Dorians, we have a cultural affinity - maybe that’s why we’ve always gotten along! 🙂👍
Interesting documentary.... I see the faces of my own ancestors here & appreciated all the references & sites. I think reminding us of the previous events are a good thing.... there's nothing really new out there, only yet to be discovered.
It is local dialect of Greek language, dialect, dialects, not other language. Achaeans, Dorians, Ionians, Aeolians are the four major branches of the Hellenic(Greek) tribe from ancient times in Ancient Greece. Greeks = Achaeans, Dorians, Ionians, Aeolians.
The Greeks of present day Athens are not only slavs, bulgarians, macedonians and turks but also Epirotans, Cretans, Thracians, Islanders, Polish, Albanians, Philipinos, Pakistanis, English etc all the people that are ethically or culturally Greek are welcomed to Greece. Tsakones speak an ancient Greek dialect the same do the Pontians, the Cypriots etc.
You forgot,to say tourkomoggolalbanians, with out mirrors to see them fase mystery the arberes in,kalabria and the arberist in Greece look like old greeks
It's a shame suggesting the greeks of athens are slavs, bulgarians, turks and macedonians!!! Macedonians isn't other tribe that the greeks. And finally learn history! Slavs, bulgarians and turks in Athens! Shame!
@@JimmyTheGreek2000 if we Albanian do understand the tsakonis how can you grek understand the language when we have different language grek and Albanian 🙄🙄
Tell the Anatolian Greeks forced out of Anatolia that they were being freed of Turkish domination. They were friends with the Muslims they shared their lives with the Turk but today everyone demonizes the Turk and plays politics with the nationalistic desperation.
Good point as the majority of the anatolian population we islamised Armenians, Greeks, Assyrians etc so called "Turks" etc chistians were friends with muslims are there were the same people.
Thanks lovely ; we have many Greeks in old New Orleans 😇 !
It's pronounced Tsa'kones They are descendants of the ancient Dorians and they speak Doric.
