Is the Albanian language older than the Greek one??

I can't believe that gorilla has a tested IQ between 70 and 95

We taught a chimpanzee how to recycle in about sixty minutes.

Sorry to dissapoint you Geni, but your data is old and... wrong:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IQ_and...m_of_data_sets



The IQ of Albania was calculated based upon the IQ of other neighboring states, and you received the result Greek IQ 92, Albanian IQ 90.

Nevertheless, Lynn and Vanhannen made an attempt to improve their data at 2012, and the result was a reduction of the IQ of Albania and an increase of the IQ of Greece:

Until we finally got real data:

Btw you do know that on your map the iq of Albania isn't accurate? Its only based on student assessment studies and not the country as a whole, yeck it could only be based on one school. Read the map properly, countries with the asterisks are the ones that are judge like this

All of the IQ tests, Pisa tests e.t.c. show you at the bottom. Get used to it, and believe it or not, students are usually much better than old folks, whose IQ is probably way lower. I can imagine that you have some old idiots like the Greek fartbag that I encountered in my town who still believed that Greece could not be ruled without a king, and other shitty stuff...

He is right. Retards like you need a strong German King and of course.......some Albanians.

He must be smarter than the resident Albanians here. They have been taught not to be stupid again and again, at no avail...

Why should we need a strong German king and not the Germans themselves?

We certainly need Albanians though, to cover our needs in whores and to clean toilets... Even Koko the Gorilla can be trained to do such tasks after all...

Albanians in Italy see themselves as Albanians
Albanians in Greece see themselves as Greeks

You have already lost 20% of your population since the mid 90s how many more do you want to lose?

If Albania loses another 20% of its population - then it will need to give some clay away

[Kamal900]

The answer to the OP's question: Most likely not. Greek is one of the earliest written Indo-European languages in the world alongside Hittite and other Anatolian languages which the earliest evidence of a written Greek language was from the Mycenaean period. Albanian was a mostly spoken language until the 16th century AD when they first adopted the Latin Alphabet for their language. Albanian most likely originated in the late Bronze or early Iron Age period around 3000 years ago, but Greek is definitely more older.

Foreigners of the Land

Who were these Turkish-speaking Orthodox people? There are two theories about their origin. The first one claims that they are Byzantines who underwent a Turkification process due to mutual relationships at the time of the Seljuks. The second theory claims that they were Turkic Christians who settled in Anatolia before the Seljuks and Ottomans converted them to Islam. The second theory seems more reasonable. Professor J. Eckmann and Atanas Monof agree. Moreover, the view that the Christian Oghuz and Pecheneg Turkic people who sided with the Seljuks in the Battle of Manzikert in 1071 were the forefathers of this community, is a historical fact. Indeed, small Turkic Orthodox communities called "Rumyj" are found in Ukraine and the Caucasus.

Some of these Turkish speaking Orthodox Christians are called the Karamanlides. Evliya Çelebi, a 17th century Ottoman traveler, mentioned this community in his writings and says that they are of Turkish origin. Their Turkish accent was the same as the other locals and they used Greek and Latin words as well. They printed and published books, mostly the Bible, and newspapers in the Ottoman Empire and abroad using the Greek alphabet, which they changed a little. They were religiously affiliated to the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople. In the Ottoman era, hymns and prayers were chanted in Karamanlides Turkish at local churches in the neighborhoods that were mostly populated by the Greek speaking community. While non-Muslims were called "foreigners (Giaour) with a hat" by the Muslim population, Karamanlı Greeks were called "Ellik" (Giaour), meaning "foreigners of the land."

Sultan Mehmet the Conqueror settled the Karamanlides in Istanbul's Yedikule district following the conquest of Constantinople. Most of these Karamanlides managed jewelry shops in the Grand Bazaar, but they later moved to other districts and neighborhoods in the city. There were many soap traders, dried nuts and fruits seller, middleman, cheese mongers and wine distributers from this community. Since most of Istanbul's grocers were Karamanlides, there is a character named "Karamanlı grocer" in traditional Turkish theater.

I agree with you catgeorge - North Epirus belongs to Greece always has always will - blame Italians and Austrians it is not today. I will also confirm 70% of Balkans is at least Neolithic Greek blooded but the Great Powers are afraid of your potential power. What you need to do is go to war with them and put them in their place

Thanks Laberia - couldnt have said it better myself. I appreciate the honesty.
