Edward Stanford (1827-1904) did not distinguish the Albanians from the Arvanites or Arnaoutes.

He wrote that the Albanian language was as closely related to Greek as any other and that many Albanians had taken part as leaders of the 1821 revolution.

He classified the Himariotes within the Albanian tribe of the Liapids, while the Souliotes as part of the Albanian tribe of the Tsamids.
