Similarities Between Venetian and Greek

In this video, we compare some of the common words between Venetian (vèneto) and Greek (ελληνικά) with Marco, representing Venetian, and Michael, as the Greek speaker.

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.
Venetian (vèneto) is a Romance language primarily spoken in the Veneto region of Italy. It has several different dialects and varieties.

for someone that studies language I'm very surprised you use Cypriot flag with Greek. Cyprus has its own dialect/language which to a greek a huge amount is not understood. most Cypriots speak greek to a high level as it is taught from school. a lot like how Arabic is taught in Morocco, yet in reality we have our own ancient language. most Cypriots don't speak it these days as its seen as peasant-like and the language has almost been lost and will be in the near future, most of the old generation speak it from villages.

Thank you for this awesome video. The Venetian rule in the Ionian islands lasted for several hundred years. It has left a lasting legacy. It's interesting to see it in action, it's almost like reliving the history.

[@kaloarepo288]

Venetians called the island of Kythera "Cerigo" -they owned it for a long time. A Greek friend of mine who was from this island, on a trip to Venice, discovered a street called Cerigo there. Also the noble Emo family who owned a beautiful villa and estate on the Venetian mainland (Rovigo area) were of Greek descent - Villa Emo was sold about a decade ago. I presume the name "Emo" is related to the Greek word "haemus" which means blood if I'm not mistaken or the Haemus mountains?

[@joeb5080]

Venetian has had an impact on Modern Standard Greek in general. It may have to do with the fact that MSG is actually partly based on the Ionian Islands dialect (and partly on the Peloponnese).

Fascinating video. Both sides of my family are from regions that were controlled by Venice at various points in time (Cycladic islands and Peleponese). Even during the Ottoman period Venetian landlords remained in power in a tribute system in some areas. So much Venetian architecture in Greece today, even the Acropolis used to have Venetian fortifications and towers until they were taken down after Greek independence.

​@@GioBall Sorry, Greek is based on Albanian language whether you like it or not 🤷‍♂ John Wilkes The lands between Adriatic and Danube were inhabited by a people called Illyrian. When the Albanian language will be well studied and when its oral traditions will be exhumed, then many of Homers works will be revisited and some of them will need to be corrected. Herodotus had no idea that the names of the Heroes of Homers work were clearly in the Pelasgian language. Even Homers own name can be tracked back to the Albanian language : Good and in the form Imiros means good poetry. In the Albanian language it is : Agamenon , He - ge-mendon, he who thinks , Ajax that Bloodsucker ,bloodsucker: Priamos , Mothers Son,mothers son and with an ironic meaning Son of the Earth, of the Country: Achilles , of heaven one descended from heaven: Odysseus of the Road the traveler the one who walks: Ithaka, i thak - idhnak: Droilos,Droili (os) one who fears,a coward .Many more could be added to this list. Its is not surprising if people who have studied the Albanian language say that this is the original language of Homer and that the Greeks took from the Pelasgian poets most of the songs of valor and heroines. They built big walls that are called cyclopean and for which Prof.Pokok says they were built long before Homers Greeks existed. From this strong prehistoric race only the Albanians remained. Only later was it realized that the Pelasgian were the old Illyrians , the first Indo-European branch, whose empire stretched from Asia minor to the Ionian and Adriatic. From the studies of young writers, like Proff. Max Mueller and Proff, POT, in the Albanian language this origin became stable. These Illyrians who still live in Albanian as Toska, Toscana, Etruscan. It is in vain to look for the gods of Greece in the etymology of her language. In the Albanian language these are very clear and their meanings are very correct. for example , Chaos emptiness, space Erebus, son of Chaos, is er-het-os, made dark: Uranos is I-Vran-os, that is, the fairy of the clodus, the Clodus: Zeus, Zaa, Zee, Zot-God, voice of lighting: Athena is the Spoken , by speaking the word: Nemesis, nemes, that is, nam, Devils call: Muse, Mosois, is the Teacher: Venus means close to the day,the dawn. George Fred Williams wrote in 1914 : If we go back to prehistory, before the Homeric rhapsodes were sung to the gods and mythological heroes, before the Greek language was written, there lived a people known as the Pelasgians. Albanians are the only ones who have come to this day from this powerful prehistoric race.Only in recent years has it been determined that the Pelasgians were the Ancient Ilyrians.... These Illyrians also went to Italy under the name Toska, as they are still called in Albania, while in Italy they remained as Toska, Tuscan Etruscan.

It means “welcome to the village” (or, rather, “community”), in Arbëreshë, the local dialect of medieval Albanian origin. Until the late 19th century, the Arbëreshë in Southern Italy (they had come there 500 years ago from Southern Albanian communities in Greece) were often confusingly called “Greci”, since language wasn’t considered the main criterion for national identity. Piana degli Albanesi, near Palermo, was called Piana dei Greci for the same reason until WW2 (when politics made it suddenly very important to distinguish between the two languages in Italy).

The title of this video is methodologically misleading. These are not true similarities between Greek and Venetian. These are just Venetian/Italian words into Greek. The only exception to this is "karekla" which comes from the Greek "cathedra". It's like taking Greek words used in English and then saying "similarities between English and Greek".

[@shpetimahmeti8008]

Nice program you make but why you don't make more research why they have similar word. The reason why that in 15th century North Albanian were occupied by venitians and by death of Gjergje Kastrioti Skendërbeu the Albanian national heroe ottomans occupied Albania and venitians toke alot of Albanians there and in greece are 80% Albanian which they call Arvanitas that's why they have same words

[@dillinger445]

kastrioti atleta de cristo is your national hero and your name is ahmeti😂🤡

[@shpetimahmeti8008]

@dillinger445 haha it is so funny when people don't know nothing about Albanian history and they judge you by the surname, yes my surname is Ahmeti and I'm proud of being myslim but I'm even prouder being ALBANIAN, in Albania our first religion it is Albanian then we have our faith but over all we don't care what religion we are we are Albanians blood first then religion. Yes our national heroe was title as Christian Knight but those Christians let him down many time and as much as he fought and killed ottoman myslims he did kill catholics Christians too. Go and learn about Albanian and their history language and culture then you talk and don't make yourself a fool

The Chams were an ethnic Albanian community that formerly inhabited the area of Thesprotia, part of the modern northwest Greece (south part of Epirus). Most of them were expelled into Albania through government-supported ethnic cleansing[40] at the end of World War II. Few survivors still live in Arta, Preveza and Janina.

[@dillinger445]

what about the time when albanians were allies with mussolini and attacked greece? that was before the chameria incident

[@vanmars5718]

You forgot to mention that the albanians living in this part of Epirus, we're originally a medieval migration into Greek lands, been part of Greece allied with the invasive Italian fascist regime against their own country, attack Greek of the area and killed many. The audacity of modern albanians is immense. We should have never opened our borders to house you when you needed support unkind snakes!

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.

The people who live in so called Greece today used to be called "Romej" during Byzantine Empire and "Raja" during Ottoman Empire times (except the Arvanitas who used to be called always by their name like "Albani", "Arbanoi", etc.) and the name "Greece" never existed during Byzantine times. During Ottoman times in the Balkans, after the big powers pushed for an uprising in the place that today is called "Greece", an independent country was formed in 1821-1832. The majority of the population there was of Arvanitas (and Chameria) stock, they also were the backbone of the uprising for independence from the Ottoman Empire. The rest of the minority population was of Slav, Turks and Aromanian stock. After the gain of independence the place was so divided, and with a prolonged civil war that a real country could not be formed. Fearing the disintegration of the place after Ottomans left (and possibility of a return of the Ottomans), Prince Otto of Germany was brought in by European powers to clear the mess and do nation - building there. He was proclaimed King of the place by big powers and given plenipotentiary powers. The Price Otto royal family in Germany happen to be an admirer of the ancient civilizations, one of them being the extinct ancient Greek civilization, traces and archeological findings of which are also seen in that region called today "Greece" as well. Being an ancient history romantic and buff, Otto came up with the idea, that the only way to keep the place together and for a chance to build a country there, was to adopt/impose some kind of neutral/foreign ancient language and culture for all people living in that place, that will make possible for the people to stick together under one language and culture imposed on them. So with a special royal decree, he proclaimed a version of the ancient Greek (the easier one to be taught and learned by people there in those times) as an official language of the place, and also came up with the new name for the place, calling it with a special royal decree "Greece". Everything else was banned, and the new "country" formed, was ordered to be rebuild anew in resemblance of the old romantic view of the ancient Greek civilization, starting with the buildings, names of people, places, cities and villages, regions, mountains, fields and all were changed to made-up names loaned by the ancient literature of ancient Greek civilization. This of course was associated with money brought by European powers to rebuild. The more people in that place agreed with the change of their true national and ethnic identity and declare themselves artificially "Greeks/Helenes" and adopt to the new order, the more money was to be pouring in. Naturally, the strongest resistance to this artificial and made-up solution, was made by the Arvanitas (and Chameria), but at no avail. It is legendary, the loss by one vote in the Price Otto's Parliament of that time, of Arvanitas proposal to have the Albanian (Arvanite) language as an official language of the place called 'Greece" today, and to call the new country "Arvanoi" (instead of "Greece"). There is plenty of scientific and factual evidence, archival and historical documents, as well as studies and publications by major authors and authorities in the field about as above. One interesting fact here, is that one of the earlier German/Austrian well known historians and scientists of that time, Fallmerayer, alerted Prince Otto and others to this nonsense, of declaring a whole people and place by a name not belonging to them, and injecting an extinct language, culture and civilization on people who had no idea about it and did not belong to it at all. By the way, Fallmerayer, is a banned figure and historian in what is called Greece today. Germany is still paying for the Otto's mistake, even today. It has gotten stuck with the country so called "Greece". It is now forced to pour free money, even today, out of Germany's pocket (through European Union as well) year after year to keep it alive and going, as this "Greece" cannot stand on its own. It is an artificial creation of Prince Otto's fantasy (a "zombie" country so to speak), and the new generations of the Germans and Europeans are continuing to pay the price for it. Moreover, what Prince Otto did back then, is tantamount to ethnic cleansing. He forced inhabitants of a whole region/place (called "Greece" today) to change by force their culture, language, national and ethnic identity to something else that those people were not, so they could artificially change in order to look modern and civilized (like ancient Greeks in Otto's personal view) and possibly be united. And of course, Arvanites and Chams (as the majority population in the region) suffered mostly from this ethnic cleansing. All this revelation, informs another major point: history taught about what today is called Greece, it appears to be taught wrong. People are wrongly taught in schools that today's Greece and its people are the direct descendants of ancient Greeks. Greece and Greeks of today, in some extend, also think they are superior to others just because they are called "Greeks" and their country "Greece" by decree (not by the virtue of the truth). They also seem to believe for some reason, they are entitled to the German and European money being handed out to them. The school textbooks and historiography should change, telling people the truth as it is. And with this, will come many other changes, in the way we see relations with the country called "Greece" today.
