#Arvanit

• Arvanite — A person belonging to an ethnic population of Albanian origin historically settled in regions of mainland Greece and surrounding islands during the Middle Ages. The Arvanites integrated structurally into Greek society, adopted Orthodox Christianity, and played a crucial military and political role in the Greek War of Independence, preserving their cultural identity through the Arvanitika dialect.
• Arvanite woman — A woman belonging to the ethnic minority of the Arvanites (a population of Albanian origin historically settled in Greece since the Middle Ages) or who is of Albanian descent; in a linguistic sense, it denotes the archaic Albanophone idiom, closely related to the Tosk dialect, traditionally spoken in parts of southern and central Greece, currently critically endangered.
