All of the following languages were written in Albanian: 1. Greek of Calabria - The ENTIRE "Our Father" prayer was written in (Arberesh) Albanian. 2. Greek of Sicily - the ENTIRE "Our Father" prayer was written in Arberesh (Albanian). 3. Epirotice - the ENTIRE "Our Father" prayer was written in Albanian. .... you know what's funny? That there was no page with the title "Albanian" - because it was called Epirotic and Greek!!! (this was common knowledge) Please, someone challenge the Vatican, Napoleon and Pope Pius VII... cuz today's pseudo-Greeks arrivals of Anatolia and Armenia are driving us nuts. Someone is definitely lying! Period. These are facts. It's not more complicated than that. - Everything else is forged and framed arguments by people with an agenda. We know that "Greeks" (Acheans, Thebans and other mixed Pelasgo-Phoenicians) have always applied an expansionist agenda (of course, they're Phoenician blood). Therefore, they can't be trusted, especially if all "historical accounts" come from "Greeks" from a looong time ago. If there's one thing to learn form the story of the Trojan Horse, it's to never trust the "Greeks", Masters of Deceit.

At least since classical antiquity, the Epirotes were speakers of an epichoric Northwest Greek dialect, Epirote Greek, different from the Dorian of the Greek colonies on the Ionian islands, and bearers of mostly Greek names as evidenced by epigraphy and literary evidence.Ancient writers such as Herodotus, Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Pausanias, and Eutropius, describe the Epirotes as Greeks. A far more reliable source on the views of the Greeks is the list of sacred envoys (Ancient Greek: θεαρόδοκοι) in Epidaurus, which includes the Epirotes. The list which was compiled in 360 BC includes the sacred envoys (members of the ruling family of each tribe or subtribe) of the Molossians, Kassopeans, Chaonians and Thesprotians.In terms of religion they worshiped the same gods as the rest of the Greeks. No traces of non-Greek deities were found. Their supreme deity was Zeus and the Oracle of Dodona found in the land of the Molossians attracted pilgrims from all over the Greek world. As with the rest of the Epirotes they were included in the thearodokoi catalogues where only Greeks were allowed in order to participate in Panhellenic Games and festivals. Aristotle considered the region around Dodona to have been part of Hellas and the region where the Hellenes originated.(WIKIPEDIA)

[@Trontotario]

@@wankawanka3053 Thucydides (Book 2.68) About the same time towards the close of the summer, the Ambraciot forces, with a number of barbarians that they had raised, marched against the Amphilochian Argos and the rest of that country. The origin of their enmity against the Argives was this. This Argos and the rest of Amphilochia were colonized by Amphilochus, son of Amphiaraus. Dissatisfied with the state of affairs at home on his return thither after the Trojan war, he built this city in the Ambracian gulf, and named it Argos after his own country. This was the largest town in Amphilochia, and its inhabitants the most powerful. Under the pressure of misfortune many generations afterwards, they called in the Ambraciots, their neighbors on the Amphilochian border, to join their colony; and it was by this union with the Ambraciots that they learnt their present Hellenic speech, the rest of the Amphilochians being barbarians.

[@wankawanka3053]

@@Trontotario When does Thucydides call them Illyrian exactly :) ? Anyways here : “Then all the Greeks who were proud of themselves and their country came as suitors, and to that end Cleisthenes had them compete in running and wrestling contests……..These came from the Peloponnese itself; from Athens Megacles, son of that Alcmeon who visited Croesus, and also Hippocleides son of Tisandrus, who surpassed the Athenians in wealth and looks. From Eretria, which at that time was prosperous, came Lysanias; he was the only man from Euboea. From Thessaly came a Scopad, Diactorides of Crannon; and from the Molossians, Alcon.” (Herodotus ,the Histories book 6 chapter 126 section 3 and chapter 127 section 4). “And it would indeed be a worthy action for descendants of such heroes as these to make a league with the barbarians now, and to serve with them; and to war against Epirotes, Achaeans, Acarnanians, Boeotians, Thessalians, and in fact against nearly every Greek state except Aetolians!” Polybius, Histories And regarding Thucydides : Thucydides regarded the semi-nomadic, armed northerners of Epirus and western Macedonia as "barbarians", and he called them such in his history of events in 429 and 423. The word was understood by some scholars to mean "non-Greek-speakers" rather than "savages." They were shown to be mistaken in 1956, when inscriptions of 370-68, containing lists of Greek personal names and recording in the Greek language some acts of the Molossians, were found at Dodona in Epirus. This discovery proved beyond dispute that one of Thucydides "barbarian" tribes" of Epirus, the Molossians, was speaking Greek at the time of which he was writing. ~ "The Miracle That Was Macedonia", pg. 5-6, Palgrave Macmillan (September 1991)

[@ijonilisha]

@Thersites I would stray away from calling Epirus Greek or anything else. I think they were their own distinctive culture and while the southern tribes might have been more related to the greeks and northern tribes to the Illyrians, the Epirotes as a whole made up their own distinctive ethnos. Claims that Epirus is a greek region was one of the justifications for the Cham massacre and to this day there are terrorist attacks on the Southern Albanian border by fringe groups that demand Northern Epirus be handed to Greece.

Please ensure that before touching ANY so-called “Ancient Greek” history, territory or personalities, you state that you’re speaking pecifically about Ancient Greece, NOT modern Greece. Epirotes were and are still Illyrians who have been Hellenized a few times, hence they have a somewhat separate identity from both. However, even today, Epirotes on both sides of the borders identify as Sk’Iperi-otes (which is the native term of what Albanians call themselves). Epir-us means highland in current Albanian. Prior called Molossia (Malësia in Albanian… also meaning Highland).

Greeks, as we know them today, did NOT exist as a population prior to mid-1850s. They're a cultural creation of the last 150 years made of Albanians of Greece, Anatolians, Bulgarians, Wallachians, etc. All this is backed up by Greek DNA studies.
