Small question, is it possible that the word mavijo refers to a pot ?
If so, Mev in Macedonian is a leather bag for transporting Wine and since Pot is also a storage dish there can be a relation.
The sound of ancient languages

Except šč. That I added because that is the form (or similar like št, šć, š, č, etc.) the uvular q took in satem languages, so it's only for comparison reasons to appear as if it was in Slavic languages. In Mycenaean Greek it was most likely q or a sound similar to it.

Are they the same letters that the Greek translation uses?

WHO spoke it though? Albanians? The link you provided is from Peter Trudgill, do you even know what he says about 'Greece' during the 15th century? He has estimated that it was 45% populated by Albanians.
Tell me, is Petros Trudgill still your friend?
How is your post connected to the discussion about modern and ancient GREEK language ?
(Remember you deleted my post with quotes of Goce Delcev's and Dame Gruev's letters
,declaring themselves Bulgarians in another thread....as irrelevant to Pavlos Melas letters)

Wheren't these people children of the Pagans?
People's everyday language is recorded in folk songs,epic Akritika songs etc,in the Byzantine era -In the 19th-20th century is what is called Demotiki.
So, some have estimated that, when the Ottomans conquered the whole Greek territory in the XV century, some 45% of it was populated by Albanians (Trudgill, 1975:6).
Tell me, is Petros Trudgill still your friend?

It is not a matter of if it survived throughout the ages, but who spoke it and ensured its survival? People who considered Hellenes as devils and worthy of being burnt to death?
How and where exactly in 'Old Greece' (Peloponnese to Thessaly) did the Greek language demonstrate continuity in the local vernacular as opposed to the language of education, religion and trade, I am interested to see the evidence of it.
Language of the education was generally imitation of attic-since the Byzantine era...taking the form of "Katharevousa" in the 19th century.

Of course its continued
I personally dont doubt it
Any scholar will tell you the same Im sure
What im saying is that wouldnt it be hard to pinpoint exactly how it has developed orally, since we cant be 100% sure exactly how Ancient Greek was pronounced to compare it to now?
Tell me, are experts 100% on how ancient Greek was pronounced?
If yes, and this has already been established, I stand corrected.Last edited by Spartan; 02-15-2009, 02:35 PM.

Do you really doubt about it.. ?
