Abstract

Language:

This article examines the historical and cultural implications of the Albanian language (Shqip) in the context of the Ottoman Empire's influence over the Balkans, particularly following the fall of Constantinople in 1453. The objective is to unravel the connection between the Arbëresh populations who, having resisted assimilation, relocated to Sicily and southern Italy, and the linguistic legacy they preserved. Methodologically, the study analyzes the shift of political and ecclesiastical powers in the Balkans, particularly the formation of the Principality of Greece, and how these events shaped the sociopolitical landscape. The results indicate a significant presence of Albanian-speaking communities, notably the Muslim Arvanites, during crucial military engagements in the early 19th century and highlight the overlooked role of the Albanian language in Greek identity formation. Ultimately, the article raises critical questions about national narratives surrounding the ancient foundations of Greece and the enduring presence of Albanian heritage across the region.
