Basilakes, which is confirmed point by point by another writer of the timie, John Skylitzes. ...The name of Abanon was at first that of a small region with Kruja at its centre and which kept the historical name of Arbeni until quite late. It was a regional name.... In the ninth century, when the Byzantine power was re-established,, the Arbanon region consisted of a distinct diocese..." They state that it expanded, merged and developed into the Arbanese bishopric and went on to gain distinct autonomous status. This meant they needed their own name, Albanoi... They say that the word Arbanitai is of geogrpahic inspiration, liked to the region where they lived. They write that, “The name Arbanite or Albanian in the 11th century was, therefore, not so much of ethnic foundation, but of political and religious foundation. It could not be applied to all the inhabitants in the Albanian linguistic area, but only to the populations of the indeginous and Catholic province of the Arbanon. The Albanians from other regions continued to be called by scholars and contemporary chancellors in both the east and the west according to the pollitical and religious community to which they belonged, Romaioi or Graeci or Skavinoi, or Sclavinus or Bulgaroi or Bulgarus.”

was no central
Albanian state generating an Albanian cultural matrix and there was no generic 'Albanisism', in the sense that there existed a generic 'Hellenism'. The Arvanites were local Greek Orthodox populations, speaking their own Arvanito-(Hellenic) dialects. Of course, travellers in their writings might have labelled all Greek Orthodox populations as 'Greek' and all Muslims as 'Turks'. Whatever the case, the notion of 'Albanisation' is a perception generated with hindsight, not on factual evidence (excluding the linguistic element). To conclude, I am convinced that one might more usefully trace a linguistic shift / continuum of 'Albanian' speaking populations along certain Balkan axis, as one might do with a Slav speaking shift / continuum from the southern Balkans to the Arctic. This does not mean the inhabitants along that 'shift' would identify today with Tirana, Skopje or Kiev. To this day, the creation of nation-states acts as a linguistic magnetic field that distorts certain terminology and imposes on it a 'nationalist', if not irridentist agenda. The disagreements (in our field) on wikipedia, stem from the real or perceived misappropriation of certain terms. (make sense? if not blame it on the heat)
2731:"Most historians consider that the Arvanites and today's Albanians share similar roots amongst the medieval Albanian populations . Other Arvanite authors forward a Pelasgian theory that Albanians and Greeks are both the descendants of the Pelasgians but developed at an early stage two different identities, Greek and Illyrian (Albanian), and that Albanians (Arvanites including) are brothers with the Greeks. A few Arvanites propose that the Arvanites were the descendants of Thraco-Illyrian tribes - hence not identical to Albanians proper;. These views have no echo in mainstream scholarship to date. Some Arvanites characterize the Arvanite settlement in Greece as the modern Dorian invasion."

if not totally disagree with this crude assessment. Such statistics imply the existence of a culturally cohesive entity that enacts the separate, i.e. non-Greek, activities of an ethnic minority. But these are constituent peoples of the Greek nation - as surely as the arm and the lungs are constituent elements of a person's body. Whatever they enact, other Greeks tend to identify with it as their own - though not necessarily 'of their own village'. In this respect, the Greek nation (το γένος) is unthinkable without
Arvanties and Vlachs, as it is unthinkable without Cretans, Corfiots, Rumeliots, Pontians, or Macedonians for that matter.
2305:) remain uncertain. They appear to be the descendants of the Illyrian populations who withdrew into the highlands of the central Dinaric chain. Their name may originate from the valley of the Arbanon (along the Shkumbi River) in the theme of Dyrrachion (Durrës/Durazzo), in which they were first noted by outside commentators. Their language probably evolved from ancient Illyrian (formerly classed with the Hellenic group of Indo-European languages but now generally recognized as an independent member of the latter family), but it is heavily influenced by Greek, Slavic, and Turkish, as well as medieval Italian.

The people of that region were called by the Greeks Arvanitai…” He states that the Arvanite are Greeks of remote Albanian origin, they are found in various parts of Greece (districts of Corinth, Argolida, Attika, Boiotia, Thespotia and some islands). Since the 14 and 15 centuries their fate has been interlinked with that of the struggles of Hellemism.
3417:: Deucalionite, you are (again) playing fast and loose with the two historically different concepts of Greekness: the modern, predominantly ethnolinguistic concept (speakers of the Greek language), and the historical concept of "Romaioi" (i.e. citizens of Byzantium / Greek Orthodox Christians). Where historical sources call Arvanites "Greeks", it is obviously in this latter sense; however, we are writing this article for present-day English-speaking readers and therefore need to use the term "Greek" in its present meaning. Moreover, the sources that use "Greek"

a huge percentage of them are
Orthodox by religion. Also, the two groups speak different dialects, though, naturally, it is Albanian. But they definitly exhibit different morphological types. In this respect, it might be more appropriate to seek morphological, linguistic and to a degree religious comparisons between the Arvanites and the Tosk Albanians. I sign off by proposing that ethnic entities can be interpreted as consisting of a series of collapsable demarcation parameters; often these parameters depend on the prevailing socio-political winds.

deliberately made so for ulterior political purposes; example, Athenians and the "barbarian" concept). Though Greeks have been able to speak their own tongue (in its various forms), they did not allow language to serve as a barrier in separating Greek peoples (again, unless there were ulterior political motives involved). Throughout history, Greeks have spoken non-Greek languages and incorporated foreign words into their various dialects. This, however, did not change their ethnic make-up or their ability to identify themselves as Greeks.
1190:. In the language section, "Greek state institutions are reported to have sometimes followed a policy of actively discouraging and repressing the use of the Arvanitic language". Drop the "are reported to have sometimes" replace with "have". In the Minority status section, 'Many Arvanites are also reported to be strongly opposed against the idea of obtaining any kind of officially recognized "minority" status', either drop this or source it. In the Folk culture section, I would recommend dropping the "Folk".

either descendants of originally Greek populations who had only intermediately become
Albanized; or that they were descendants of some other Thraco-Illyrian tribes and as such related but not identical to Albanians proper; or that Arvanites are descendants of the original pre-Greek "Pelasgian" population and as such actually autochthonous to southern Greece. These views have no echo in mainstream scholarship to date. Some Arvanites characterise the Arvanite settlement in Greece as the modern Dorian invasion.

contains evidence for exactly that. As for your
British example, I can't follow you at all: English/Scots individuals do not constitute a notable coherent group in the first place. Arvanites do. There is no "English-person-of-Scots-heritage" collective identity, but there is an Arvanite collective identity. If the description of such an English/Scots identity were ever an issue, then yes, of course we would describe all sides: how they see themselves, how the English see them, how the Scots see them.
3330:, and they were the distinct nation (millet). Even today, the Encyclopedia Britannica says that Albanian is spoken in Attica and Boeotia. Today, Christian and Muslim Albanians are considered the same nation, and the Arvanites in Greece are considered part of the Greek nation. This is a fact, but it was not always exactly like this, and only a nationalist would have a problem with pointing this out. Please try reading Biris's book, he both tactfully and accuratly explains all this. --

Albanians today is mindboggling. Odysseus was Albanian, Alexander the Great was Albanian, Socrates was Albanian, the fustanella was Albanian, the Souliotes were Albanian, the Epirotians were Albanians, etc. etc. (guess everything except the kitchen sink is Albanian). I think that the whole "Arvanites were Albanians" is an attempt by the Albanians to create an imaginative historical continuity based on anything they could find.

As for the point below, I think
Albanau's English is at fault, "immigrants" is not the appropriate term. "Settlers".
3460:..."While fighting, they would profess their identity as Greeks"... do I take it you mean that whenever those Arvanites went to battle, they would continually mutter to themselves "I'm a Greek, I'm a Greek, I'm a Greek"? Sorry, but that sentence just sounds stupid. The whole thing you've added here is just a big and weighty POV-pushing elaboration of a simple fact that was already stated adequately and in appropriately neutral encyclopedic style in the previous version:

Even if Troupis only provides a ball-park estimate of when the migrations ended, it is still something that would verify the sentence source-wise and would generally answer the question. Tell me what you think.

Well, of course there are numerous Arvanite clans. I do not expect anyone to actually list every single Arvanite clan in the article.

Alright. Put in "16th century" instead of "15th". Yet, wouldn't it be better to specify an exact year for the end of the migrations just like the source does? Or, instead of 1600 A.D., we could put in "early 17th century" just in case any last minute Arvanite migrations occurred in 1601, 1602, etc.

I believe, since the Arvanites also exist today, and they did use that name for themselves in the past too, we should work the article in that direction. This article shouldn't describe Arvanites as an Albanian this or that, but it should describe what they are, what they were, what they've done,

The Scanderbeg thing as related by Biris seems pretty clear to me: he speaks about the supposed ancestry of his whole ethnic group, i.e. Albanians, apparently using "Albania" as the geographical definition (but I don't know in what language the original was written, it's obviously a translation).

There are many theories cooked up by the Arvanites on the origin, each as dubious as the next. One of my favourites is that the Gheg Albanians are the "true" Albanians (descendents of the Illyrians etc) and the Tosk Albanians are Greeks of Epirus who adopted the Gheg language (Albanized/Ghegized

There is nothing wrong with calling the Arvanites "Albanian-speaking Greek settlers". This coincides with the statement in the introductory paragraph that states how Arvanites speak a form of Albanian and self-identify as Greeks. The Arvanites' language never served as a barrier for them to help

Well, my main arguments are those above (not those in my last posting), and they still stand. I have severe doubts that Troupis' list is or even purports to be what you claim it is: a list of the "most prominent" or "most well-known" clans. It sounds rather like a random list of whatever names

I think the above is enough to demonstrate the fundamentally tendentious, "original (pseudo-)research" nature of Deucalionite's edits to this article. From now on, I will not bother wasting my time and bloating this talk page with giving detailed reasons for any more reverts I'll have to make.

Yes, the book is reliable. However, the only drawback you will probably find is that it is focused on the region of Serbou. If the other literature does not mention any other major/minor migrations past 1600 A.D., then wouldn't we have to safely assume that the migrations ended at 1600 A.D.?

No problem. According to summaries of the literature elsewhere, the main waves of migrations were in the 14th and 15th century, but I've also seen 13th-16th mentioned (I've only checked the GHM report and Botsi right now, though). Is the book you are quoting a reliable historical study?

Well, there is a controversy among editors here, but not really one in the literature as far as I am aware. It's not so much about the "settlers", it's about the "Albanians". Some of the Greek editors don't like to use the ethnic name "Albanians" to be used

Well it seems the controversy will never die. However, I did my best to clean up the article as much as possible. Yet, the content in the section "Arvanites as Albanians" was quite confusing and fails to really shed light on the origins of the Arvanites.
