ARBANITE language and GREEK language.
It is remarkable how the "unwritten" Arvanite Albanian language preserves the "same words" as those of the Old Greek writing, words which today's Greek language does not preserve!
Also, the "unwritten" Arvanite language interprets many words of ancient Greek, which cannot be interpreted with modern Greek or even with ancient Greek!
Therefore, those who speak disparagingly of the Arvanites when there is a clear and understandable connection between the Arvanite language and ancient Greek, can tell us where the "illiterate" Arvanites found all these ancient words and how these words can be interpreted only through the Arvanite Albanian language, when the Greek language cannot explain their meaning?
Did the "illiterate" Arvanites read ancient texts that the Romans could not?
Therefore, when some speak disparagingly of the Arvanites, it would be good to wash their mouths before they speak of the Arvanites!

The preservation of ancient Greek words in Arvanitika suggests a deeper history and connection to ancient Greece, rather than a later migration during the Middle Ages. This linguistic evidence supports the idea that the Arvanites have a long-standing presence in the region, and their language has retained elements from ancient Greek that have been lost in modern Greek.
