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.

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"

Αll the words communicated in this exercise have Greek (Hellenic) origin. For instance: φυλακη, χωριον, δρομος, γειτονια, παπας, στολιζω, παρακαλω, ιατρος (even the "doctor" translation to "iatros" originates from "didaktor". Bercause Latin absorbed plenty of Greek. Same applies to the rest of the words. The teacher was kind enough to avoid being pendantic (another Greek word). All of this is really not something to be surprised about because Greek culture and its influence on the world (let alone neighboring people) is monumental.

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.

@@OrenicoCohenico 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.

@@GioBall Even if we assume that You have read all Greek books and found these words in. As a citizen of modern Greece created in 1827 (with support of Germany) and then more land added during the Albanian lands-grab of the 1913/4 second Balkan war, is that the population making up the demographics are Greeks (and other small minorities) and Albanians/Arvanites (who actually who fought to expell the Turks and creates the country in 1827). Therefore, Albanian language of the Tosk dialect is embedded into today Greek but it goes back further when the two languages were divided from Pellazgians.

"Petros Karolidis... tried, as he writes in his related thesis (Hellinismos magazine, year 1904 p. 176-183), to speak in Greek to an old resident in Piana dei Greci, but he realized that she only knew Arvanitika, and he told this to the Italian who recommended her to him. 'The good presbyter, as soon as she heard me say that her language was not mainly Greek, protested, indignantly exclaimed: IO SONO propria GRECA-I AM a genuine GREEK'."'

@@jorham1 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.

Giatro (gr)- gja t ro - that lives long Gjiton - gji ton - our breast/heart/soul Etc etc etc there are so many, but the truth will come to light. Albanian language and the beginning was spoken with rrokje (syllables) and every syllable has its own meaning or many meanings. It was the base (ba zë - make fill or beginn to fill) or contributed to many other languages. illini - il lin - star is born afrodita - afro/n dit/a - the daylight that comes And many others.. First you should recognize the Albanian language as official language and the ethnic Albanian/Arvanit population. As such honor the brave Arvanit warriors. Second you and your fake country have to pay for the genocide against Cham Albanians and after that for the killings in south Albania in the name of „vorio epir“ during 1914-1915. Together made more than 60000 deaths. Third you and your chauvinistic country should erase the law of war against Albania.

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.

I have met people from Arabic countries and Iran and sometimes I hear greek words. For example in Persian language you can hear words like- halasi ( χαλάσει ) klidh ( κλειδί) and more that I can't remember. My Egyptian friend told me that Egyptian language before Arabic had a big amount of greek words.

There's also many similarities when you compare ancient Greek and Albanian. A lot of words have similar roots but during the test of time they either evolved or were replaced by other words which is why Greek and Albanian may sound different today when compared. But both are the only two surviving paleo-balkan languages so its not surprise that they have stuff in common.

​@@Usera2324dfre You completely misread what I wrote and I am not surprised. Root words from Albanian can be traced down to the same root words that Greeks have. Many of the words share a common origin because the two languages developed within the Balkan peninsula. Also, im not talking about loanwords. 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. Post script: (Albanian\Albania' - as a dominant region of acknowledgments representation for long story with Alba-longa, Albano Polis, Kastriot Dinasty in Kruja near Albano Polis)

There were no albanians in Preveza before Ali Pasha of Tepelena . Even he , an albanian speaker , used Greek for all his courtly dealings since the population of the region he ruled was predominantly Greek-speaking. They stayed until the 2nd WW where they killed 20% of Preveza's population with their nazi allies and fled to Albania. We still wait them to be trialed and this is the main reason Greece and Albania are still in war
