    Armenian, Lebanese, Ashkenazi are the first three. When I say I am Sicilian American people think it makes sense. Almost no one thinks I look Portuguese nor anything Slavic.

    Latinos often mistake me for white Murican, whereas white Muricans don't question me if I don't open my mouth. However, when they notice my foreign accent, they very often ask me if I'm Russian, no kidding.

    The Albanians, these tigers of mountain wars ... have as their religion rebellion. Even their worst warrior is one of the strongest and bravest on the battle-field, just as if he was a knight on the legendary horse. But he has no horse, nor proper weapons for battle. Instead of the horse, he has a lance which strikes as lightning, he has spears who's points are full of posion as the sting of hornets, he has also a wooden bow with some arrows. Furthermore, he is stronger than iron ...

    - Ibn Kemal, Historian of the Turkish court during Skanderbeg's war against the Turks.

    Italian and Spanish, in that order. Third is probably something like Turkish.
