Pa problem! Zeus, une do te mund te perqendrohesha dhe te jepja nje shpjegim te thukte shkencor me shume per periudhen Skenderbegiane dhe perdorimin e termit Epirot ne ate kohe. Poashtu, mund te sjell edhe raste te tjera perdorimi te termit Epirot per te shenuar shqiptaret e asaj kohe.Zeus10 wrote:Albpelasgian, ashtu sic te shkrova dhe ne mesazh, video eshte e shume e mire, por duke pasur parasysh rendesine e titullit duhet te ishte me me shume materiale, pra me disa pjese.

Falemnderit Arta per vleresimin!Ja dhe nje citat qe shkeputa prej nje libri:Arta wrote:AlbPelasgian e pashe, dhe me pelqeu shume qe i kishe renditur ciatatet dhe me bibilografi. Good job!
Paragraph 3.—Of the Albanians or Skipetarians.
The people generally known in Europe by the name of Albanians, by the Turks called Arnauts, and by themselves Skipetares, which means in their language " mountaineers" or " dwellers on rocks," inhabit the greater part of the ancient Illyricum and Epirus. (...) The eastern coast of the Adriatic, from the gulf of Drino to the bay of Arta, is the extent of proper Albania from north to south ; but the Albanian people are spread much further. Though the name of the Albanians was formerly confined to a comparatively small part of Illyricum, it cannot be supposed that the people who spoke the Albanian language were, at the period referred to, so restricted in their extent. This language is spread through all the country from Arta to Scutari. It is the idiom of all the oldest cities of Albania, and is spoken at Scutari, the ancient Scodra, which was a principal town of Illyricum in the time of Livy, and is still, by the Albanians, called by its ancient name; at Dulcigno, the Olchinum of Pliny; at Dibria, Corona, Durazzo, Chimera, and Dremas, and in Pelagonia, several of which places, as Masci has indicated, were known by name to Strabo, and the writers of times immediately following his age.:}:
The Skipetarian race is divided into four principal stems, distinguished by differences of dialect. They are the following: 1. The Guegues and Mirdites, two tribes who speak one dialect, and must be accounted one branch of the nation. The Guegues inhabit the country of Budua, on the border of Cataro, and from Montenero to the limits of Herzegovina and the Antivari on the Adriatic : the Mierdites, who are a brave people, and adhere to the Roman Catholic religion, live in the Pascbalik ofCroia. 2. TheToxides inhabit the country to the southward of Guegaria, on the right bank of the Genussus. 3. The Jagys, in the district of Berat and Delvino. 4. The Chumis, on the banks of the Acheron, to whom the Suliotes and Parginotes belong. All the four dialects have the same origin, but each has a character of its own, and is distinguished by particular words and peculiar a sound. This language is said to resemble the French in sound, but not in words.*

"The ancient Epirots were as distinct from the Hellenes as the Albanians are from the modern Greeks"
"Turkey" -Edson Lyman Clark 1902, Page 167
Of the Illyrians and Epirots only the wild Albanians, or Arnauts, are still in
existence.
