🚨 WHAT ATHENS UNIVERSITY TEACHES ITS STUDENTS ABOUT ALBANIANS 🇦🇱🇬🇷 While some people continue trying to erase or minimise the Albanian contribution to Greek history, students in Athens are being taught about the deep and widespread Albanian-speaking presence across Greece. According to the lecture: 🔴 Many Albanians remained Christian... for centuries, with significant conversion to Islam occurring much later particularly during the 17th and 18th centuries. 🔴 Arvanites spoke Albanian or were bilingual, and historically there was no clear separation between them and the surrounding Greek population. 🔴 Albanian-speaking communities were historically present across Attica, southern Euboea, Thebes, Livadeia, Arta, Messolonghi and the region surrounding the Thyamis Kalamas River. 🔴 Entire villages in these regions traditionally spoke Albanian. 🔴 The lecturer also discusses the theory that the name Plaka, Athens’ oldest continuously inhabited neighbourhood, may derive from the Albanian word “plakë/plaka,” meaning “old.” This lecture presents something that can no longer be hidden: Albanians and Albanian-speaking Arvanites were deeply woven into the historical, cultural and social fabric of Greece. This is not about denying modern Greek identity. It is about recognising the Albanian-speaking communities that helped shape the country’s history. History cannot be erased simply because it makes some people uncomfortable. When these subjects are discussed inside an Athens university lecture hall, perhaps it is time for the wider public to listen as well. 🇦🇱 The Albanian presence in Greece is not a modern invention it is part of the country’s documented historical story. #Albanians #Arvanites #Arbereshe #AlbanianHistory #GreekHistory #Athens #Attica #Plaka #Euboea #Thyamis #Kalamas #HistoricalTruthshow more
