People used for Byzantium the words «Romania» or «Armania»

[tchaiku]

Romanian was used for communication in Byzantine Empire (more than Greek language)

Read it all not just the underlines.

The terms "Byzantine Empire" and "Byzantine Greeks" were first coined in the English language in 1857 by British historian George Finlay.[1]
Rosser 2011, p. 2: "George Finlay's History of the Byzantine Empire from 716 to 1057, published in 1857, was the first occasion of "Byzantine Empire" being used in a modern historical narrative in English."

Regarding the first part, the Chronicle of Galaxeidi can be found on-line.
One can read the whole paragraph. It’s not very credible, it doesn't make much sense, but anyway, what is the point exactly? The phrase refers to 1000 AD after it mentions an area was conquered by man-eating fierce pirates from the West.

Note: This Chronicle was allegedly written in mid 1700s, found and published in mid 1800s.

The second part AGAIN refers to the same ONE author (Vasiliev) who (the book says) has written sources (which we haven't seen yet).

Source(s)? I have already posted an independent source in my original post (which is in French). (What are you looking for?)

Here are the Google Book search results/hits, where it's clearly shown that THE GREEKS CALL THEIR COUNTRY ARMANIA.

THE GREEKS CALL THEIR COUNTRY ARMANIA (ROMANIA).

Uh, no they didn’t. There are thousands or million documents per century and I’m not aware of any source suggesting something like that, regardless to which period you refer to between 4th-15th Century AD.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byzantine_Empire#Nomenclature

Sources/links are provided and listed below – in case people think I conjured it up.

But, you DID conjure it up, or you’re unable to evaluate them.

This brief but rather stunning statement and find summarizes and lets us know the following simple truths:
The (bilingual) Armani-Vlachs formed the ethnic nucleus and majority in all Greek lands.

Vlachs have been an insignificant minority in the Greek lands. They DO form the majority at certain areas and periods. More is known on the more recent wave of Vlachs, which arrived in Greece during the Ottoman Empire. These have been mostly nomads that eventually settled down. Meanwhile, the earlier waves (from the Middle Age) that may have differed in character had vanished (being assimilated among the Greek/Roman people).

The Greeks, referenced in the statement, are simply Armani (Vlachs = Romaioi) who indeed called their country
Armania (or Romania).

Which statement is that? YOUR statement? So, who called their country Armania? The Greeks or the Vlachs?

The Armani-Vlachs, or more accurately a small segment of its population (namely, the Elite – in all aspects of society) spoke Greek in addition to Vlachika, long before the arrival of the Ottoman Turks. They were bilingual.

Being nomads (mostly shepherds but also merchants) who travelled throughout the Balkans, the Vlachs would have to learn all the local languages.

Modern Greeks = Armani (Vlachs) = Romaioi

Pardon? I… am Vlach? I didn’t know that.

Byzantium was called Armania.

It was called many names, e.g. Romania (spelled and pronounced slightly differently that the modern country of Romania, but basically meaning the same thing, land/country of Romans), but I’ve never heard of Armania

THE GREEKS CALL THEIR COUNTRY ARMANIA.

This author refers to the Greeks of Roman Empire (not the Vlachs) and says the info comes from Alexander Vasiliev and Zakynthinos. The problem is that these are both historians from 1890s-1950s. Did they really say so? Do they have a source?

What is this? And what does it say? Please, provide the name of author, title of book and an accurate translation of at least 3-4 lines, not just a phrase.

Armania, Aromania, Romania ARE practically synonyms. The problem is that Armania was not used by Greeks, probably not by Vlachs either.

This link contains the phrase

Both first-medieval Aromanians/Vlachs and Greek-speaking inhabitants of the Eastern Roman Empire, Byzantium, were Roman citizens. Besides, it should be noted that people used for Byzantium the words ‘Ρωμανία’ «Romania» or ‘Αρμανία’ «Armania».

I’m not sure about the last part and it’s not clear to whom he refers to.

https://www.google.ca/?gws_rd=ssl#q=...CE%AF%CE%B1%29

As you can see from your google search the name Armania is unknown in Greek.

http://vlahoi-armanoivlahoi.blogspot.ca/

This is very extended and mentions Vasiliev again. It also mentions a source where Ρωμανία is spelled Ρουμανία (as the modern country of Romania)

http://vlahofonoi.blogspot.ca/2012/09/blog-post_29.html

This one mentions again Vasiliev and Zakynthinos.
