Arbëresh (arbërisht) is the Albanian language spoken by the Arbëreshë people in Italy.

We had a 2nd Greek speaker for this video, but something came up last minute and they were unable to join us, that's why we decided to continue this way with two Arbëresh speakers (Martin and Lidia) and 1 Greek speaker (George).

Greek (ελληνικά) is an independent branch of the IndoEuropean family of languages with a written record of over 3,000 years, easily making it the oldest documented IndoEuropean language. The Greek alphabet, originating from the Phoenician script, was the basis of numerous other scripts, such as Latin, Cyrillic, Coptic, Gothic, and Armenian. The Greek language has virtually impacted other languages in every corner of the world, being an important component of Western civilization, the Christian religion, and the language of some of the fundamental texts of science, astronomy, and mathematics. The Greek language today holds official status in Greece and Cyprus, and is recognized as a minority language in Albania, Armenia, Hungary, Italy, Romania, and Ukraine.

Arberesh is a polynomic language with multiple dialects and is part of the "Albanian language family".
