More about the Arberesh language:
Arberesh is mostly spoken in villages in the regions of Abruzzo, Apulia, Basilicata, Calabria, Campania, Molise and Sicily. The original speakers left Albania and Morea (The Peloponnese) in the 15th century following the Ottoman conquest of the Balkans and after some time mixed with local Romance speakers (Liti in Arberesh), the subsequent modern Arberesh language is derived from the mix of Albanian Arberesh morphology and phonology with a rich repertoire of Sicilian (and other local Romance) lexicon.
