Arvanites don't fit into classical image

I WAS very glad to read the article by Mrs Diana Farr Louis ("Take a walk on the wild side: The Arvanitiko story", Feb 22) about the Arvanitic villages of the northern part of Andros island.

It is true that the Arvanites of Andros - I belong to them, from my father's side - have been ashamed for a long time of their roots and their language. This feeling, which led to the abandonment of their mother tongue, the Arvanitika or Arb'risht, has many reasons. One important reason is the fact that the inhabitants of the Greek-speaking capital of Andros, Hora, and of some nearby prosperous villages used to look down to the Arvanites. Another one, which pertains to all the Arvanites of Greece, was the dominance for many decades of the official national ideology based on the myth that all the inhabitants of modern Greece were direct descendants of "our glorious ancient ancestors". It is obvious that the Arvanites, a non-Greek speaking population - with a Greek national consciousness though - could not fit in such an ideology unless they abandoned their "particularities" - that means their language. The latter is actually a non-written dialect of the mediaeval South-Albanian (Tosk). Although I am 34, I have learned Arvanitika with a lot of effort and I consider it as a part of our cultural heritage, listed by Unesco among the "seriously endangered languages".
