Arbëresh is a language spoken by the Arbëresh people of Italy. It is related to Albanian varieties spoken in the Balkans and is typologically closely related to Southern Tosk varieties, in particular to the Arvanitika language spoken in Greece. 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.
This short is an exercise aimed at practicing the Arbëresh language comprehension through guessing words based on a set of clues. In each round, a different word is described with a series of hints, such as its category, function, or characteristics. Viewers are encouraged to guess the word before it is revealed on screen.
Let us know what languages you speak and how well you can understand Arbëresh!
