Arberesh in Southern Italy Arberesh: This dialect of Albanian is spoken in several "village pockets" in Calabria, Avellino, Molise, Puglia and Sicily in Southern Italy. There are about 80,000 to 100,000 speakers out of an ethnic population of 260,000. Anyway, speakers are diminishing and the language is very endangered. Do not confuse the Arberesh with recent refugees from Albania that scape to Italy. The Arberesh are descendants from migrants of the 15th century.

Arvanitika: Greziako albaniera Beharbada badira 400.000 albaniar Grezian, zenbait taldetan zatiturik. Komunitate zaharrena Arvanitak dira, Atika eskualdean (Atenas, duela 300 bat urte, herrixka albaniar bat zen!). Hizkuntza eta identitatea galtzen ari dira arvanitak; asko greziar sutsu sentitzen dira. Cham komunitatea Albaniako mugatik gertu kokatzen da, baina gehienak deportatu egin zituzten 2. Mundu Gerraren ostean. Albaniar etorkinak ere badira Grezia osoan zehar gaur egunean. 3. zutabeak zehazten du ea Cham (C) edo Arvanita (A) den tokia.

Arvanitika: Albanian in Greece There may be around 400,000 albanians in Greece, divided in several communities. The most ancient, the Arvanites, live in Attica region where their identity and language (Arvanitika) is loosing ground. Many of them are even strongly nationalistic greeks, nowadays! The Cham community of the Chameria region (near the border with Albania) was massively deported to Albania after World War II. There are also newer Albanian inmigrants throughout Greece. The 3rd column indicates if the name is Cham (C) or Arvanite (A).
