Topic: Languages of your country Posted: 02-Oct-2006 at 12:58 |
After my previous post and the reported to the mods as also and the British Historian C.M. Woodhouse please Arber report and the following document that published from the BritishOffice at Caserta and the known British officer and Historian F.W. Deakin as about the Cham allies of the fachsists.
Because Arber I speak with evidence and prooves and not with arbitaries quotes as you.
And stay in the topic and speak for your country and not seeking minorities in Greece.Albanian minority left,expelled or any other term want to use in 1945.
The only billiteral Greeks that speak Albanian dialect are the Arvanites,a group that is not at all Albanian.

If you want to start a discussion on the Chams do not do it to the expense of this thread. Start a new one!

Yiannis in two previous posts I just answered in the arbitaries claims of Arber as about the excistance of Albanian(Chams) minority in Greece. And simply I prooved that there is not any Albanian minority in Greece. Also twice I mention that if Arber want to post for the Albanian in Greece just to open a new thread.

Please do not turn this thread into another Balkanese frontline.
If you want to discuss the history of minorities on the Greek/Albanian border please do so in a civilised and factual manner in another thread.

Excuse me for breaking the rules, and beeing offtopic
But in my personal opinion, it goes against every human value, and against my consiousness to justify a massive expatriation (not to say a genocide) with the simple (and nonsense) formula, "Vae Victis". This is not the era of the Ceasars, we live in the XXI century. One of the basic Human Rights is the right to property, and no one can deny this to nobody, independently of any circumstances.
And I believe that in All Empires, which is a history forum, the members should mirror the values of knowledge, wisdom, and humanism.
We shouldnt accept prejudices of any sense, especially when they are so offensive to an entire community, or nation. I do not care who is the english army official that stated the first that "the chams were fascists". I know that is not true, because the Chams were a comunity like any other, made of men, women, children and oldmans. In my opinion saying that the chams were/are fascists is like saying that the germans were/are nazis, and which is not true at all. If there ever were cham fascists, this were an elite, or a small group of people. I dont see how a community could be prejudiced like this.
Begging your pardon again, I quited with this, akritas, if you have any interest in this make a detailed research

Azerbaijan Turkish, Azeri, Azerbaijani, Caucasian Turkish or whatever u want to call, it is the language that people mostly speek in Azerbaijan. Second I would say would be Russian, and the third is English. But they're very narrow used.

Chams have a very convincing case to build in European Courts of human rights and can invoke precendents, where the ECHR has ruled in favor of oppressed minorities such as in the case of Cyprus, and I am surprised none have applied yet.
Greece must account for its crimes and must return all illegally stolen Cham property.

bg_turk, then also Turkey will have to return hundreds of thousands of stolen greek properties. There can't be two standards. If Turkey denies this to Greece, then why not Greece deny it to the albanians?

no property needs to be returned to the chams (as there is none that is theirs).
on the other hand, i think greece should deport them for being nationalistic and separatist

OK because i was bored reading about the Macedonian language(which you support that it is not greek and the macedonians nowdays are descendants of ancient non greek macedonians) i wait to see PROOVES.
1)the alphabet of the modern macedonian language
2)the alphabet of the ancient macedonian language
3)in which part of Greece they spoke the macedonian language
lets see what are the similarities of the language that Alexander the Great was spoking with the language of Kiro Gligorof!!!! Or even the Bulgarian language or any other language. And see the similarities of ancient macedonian and ancient or modern greek.
There is also another way of thinking. The Greeks are descendant of ancient Macedonians. :)
Due to really much work and seminars i don't have time to post the large amount of info from ancient sources (Greeks sources because at that time none else had the culture of reaching that high level of culture.)
So in Greece we are speak Greek, Vlachs(a small amount of people), Albanian(not official but from the imigrants), Romanian(not official but from the imigrants) and what the pomakik. Thats all. In a few days with prooves for the macedonian language

Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't there an exchange of populations by the name of "The Lausanne Treaty" back in 1923, whereby Greece forcibly expelled 400,000 Turks, while the Turks expelled 1 million Greeks.
http://www.city-journal.org/html/rev2006-04-04td.htmlSo how is it that there is still a large, by Egeturk's standards, Turkish contigency in Greece?? Did they do a shifty on us, and migrate back again somehow? hehe

In Spain:
*Spanish (or Castilian): Everybody, althogh right-wing parties say that it is in danger.
*Catalan: 5 000 000 native speakers in Catalonia, Valencia, Balear Islands and Aragon (total 8 or 9 million).
*Galician: About 2 000 000 in Galicia and Leon. Youngsters speak Spanish!
*Basque: a bit more than 500 000 in Basque Country (25%)and Navarra (10%) Huge minority among Spanish speaking majority.
*Asturian-Leonese: 300 000 in Asturias and Leon. Old people's language . There's a new interest in language, but in Leon is virtually impossible to find Leonese speaking people.
*Aragonese: a few thousands, maybe between 10 and 20000 in Aragon, probably much less than that.
*Occitan: 3500 people in Val d'Aran (Catalonia).
