Athens This question has been asked several times, and should be addressed properly once and for all. While I will agree that pockets of Romaic-speakers lived in what were to become the domains of the modern 'Hellenic' state and elsewhere in the Balkans, particularly where it concerns the main trading areas (where as it so

Originally posted by Carlin View PostAdding one more map: The Albanian settlements of Mainland Greece.
As we can see, and focusing on the Peloponnese, there were Albanian settlements all over the Peloponnese (including some settlements in the area of Tzakonia, as indicated in the map).
Also, let's not forget that Phrantzes, in his own time, asserted the following:
“Half of Peloponnese land was actually occupied by the Albanians at that time and they attempted to get the other half, too, both by force of arms and by negotiation with Sultan Mehmed II.”

Adding this one in to the mix.
Slavs in Tzaconia, per below.
Page 221, Footnote 124.
FR:
"Philippson admettent que des installations slaves existaient a Vatika aussi, c'est-a-dire au sud de la fortresse de Tzaconie et pres de Monemvasie. Quelques noms de lieu slaves renforcent cette supposition."
ENG:
"Philippson admits that Slavic colonies (installations) existed in Vatika also, that is to say south of the fortress of Tzaconia and close to Monemvasia. Some Slavic place names reinforce this supposition."

Re: Underlined in yellow ELIS, MELINCER, Vatika, Giannitsa, Skorta - Slavic tribes and by Slavs inhabited regions and places from the 9th to the 12th century.
Skorta, bastion of the Slavs who overran Arcadia in the seventh century.

Originally posted by Amphipolis View PostI'm not sure it does explain that. Take a look at these two links (in Greek):
This is also interesting as it reviews many funny theories that have appeared about the origin of Tsakonians and provides some practical examples comparing Tsakonian dialect and Albanian language.

Anyway, for the source I provided - I am fairly certain that is the accurate translation of the passage provided (you can check yourself if you want to, using google translate). Here are the brief translations of the first couple of paragraphs of that page (LXXII), and additional pages. [As for Tzaconian, there is no doubt it is a form of Greek, however, this does not tell us much about the ethnic origin of the Tzaconians themselves. It is likely they went from a stage of speaking more than one language, to becoming monolinguals at some point.]
As per K. Sathas -
PAGE 'Preface LXXII':
"The Mardaites inhabit Nicopolis (that is, Epirus), the island of Kephalonia, Crete and Tenos. The Tzaconians are also found in Epirus, Thessaly, Crete as well as Peloponnesus. In the chrysobull of M. Gabrielopoulos, the prince of Thessaly (1295 AD), the military garrison is named "tsakoniki". By this word are designated Albanian bands, as the chrysobull itself seems to explain. The Mardaite corps are confined in Asia Minor too; in the same province are also installed corps of Tzaconians.
Chalcocondyle and archbishop Meletius claim that the Tzaconians are from Mount Pindus. At the time of emperor Cantacuzene, this mountain belonged to the Albanians. The Venetian documents mention Albanians in Tzaconia."
PAGE 'Preface LXXIV' (towards the very end of the page):
"The ancient Tzaconians belong to Albanian sailors of Kranidi, Hydra, and Petza."
PAGE 'Preface LXVIII':
"The Mardaites inhabited the territory of Monemvasia, or modern Tzaconia.
Like 'Mardaite', the word 'Tzacon' does not mean a people, but a category of soldiers."
As you can see, above is not my opinion. It is simply the writing of K. Sathas, a modern Greek historian.Last edited by Carlin; 03-24-2016, 02:47 PM.

RE: "BLUE - Tzakonian dialect."
Documents inédits relatifs à l'histoire de la Grèce au Moyen âge publiés ...
By Konstantinos N. Sathas
I'll let the following finding speak for itself.
PREFACE, Page LXXII -
"DANS LA BULLE DE MICHEL GABRIELOPOULOS, PRINCE THESSALIEN (1295), LA GARNISON MILITAIRE EST NOMMEE 'TSAKONIKI'. PAR CE MOT SONT DESIGNEES LES BANDES ALBANAISES, COMME LA BULLE ELLE-MEME PARAIT L'EXPLIQUER."

New Greek language means the Modern Greek language.
