Oh btw, Ali Pasha spoke Albanian, but also Greek. He actually, made Greek the official language of his court and converted from Islam to Orthodox Christianity to solidify his alliance with the Greeks. Here is a nice essay presented in front of the British Parliament back in 1877 Pamphlets relating to English history The eastern question Janina 1877

Chicago everyone that knows 1 or 2 things about the Balkans will tell you how stupid that article is. I remind you that this doc. was done only one year before "The congress of Berlin" were Bismarc declared that there's no Albanian ethnicity, and the territory of Albania was inhabitated, only by latins Turks and Greeks, this according to the western "knowledge" of the balkans. So obviously an Albanian worshiping allah was a turk, and an Albanian going in a Greek school was a Greek, forgoting that there were no Albanian schools, churches or mosques at the time. Thats why Albanians are totaly ignored there, and after reading it im even more confused about the real meaning of the word "Greek".

^^ Unfortunately there are holes in your hypothesis. Firstly, the above article says that the majority language in the Sandjak is Greek, NOT Albanian. Secondly, it also quotes Lord Byron who knew very well the difference between Greeks and Albanians, as he lived amongst both. Thirdly, it describes the character of Janina as Greek. Do you deny this? Another article. This is VERY SPECIFIC as to where the majority is Greek in Epirus (meaning language) and where Albanian begins. ![]() If that still doesn't ruffle your feathers well. Here is another account which clarifies the dominant language/ethnic group in Epirus, from a linguist written during WWI ![]() and how interesting that the purest Greek spoken back in the 19th century is said to have been of the Greeks in Epirus. How would this be the case, if Epirus was so loaded with Albanians as you are suggesting Oh yeah, and look at the date... 1816. ![]() ![]() Can all these accounts be wrong?

No,I don't think so TB he is just checkmateing himelf , obviously those texts are just weak, very weak indeed, attempts to justify the Greek claims in epirus. Chicago can you bring it in a text format instead of jpg, so we can directly quote the textes, and comment some of the bs, writed there? ![]() Here he is saying that only some Albanians are meet in this "Greek" country,but... ![]() ...here he is pratically saying that in the territory from pindus to norther Gjirokastra is spoken exclusively the Albanian language, that according to this "genius" is not enough to call them Albanians. ![]() Now he is saying that the region around the kalamata river is Albanian, that is Chameria, but who cares about that, after all they will embrace hellenism soon or later. I think you know enough about chams TB and what heppened with them? ![]() Here he is saying, who cares about Albanians in epirus, after all they live all over Greece (probaly he is talking about Suliotes)not only in Epirus , soon or later they will end in the same way. so lets go for it. etc etc... And after reading this stuff im even more sure that what i wrote in my previous post is 100% correct.
