  • It's medieval greek.

  • ??? Tried to comment, but something didn't went right :(

  • @UnoDisponibileGrazie

    try again please, is not my fault, even youtube is not perfect sometimes!

  • Roman Empire considered Brutium, Apulia and Syracuse's provence proper Greek Territories, and many poleis kept the right topreserve themselves as Greek speaking cities. After the fallen of Roman Empire, for almost three centuries there hasn't been a proper organized form of government. Southern Italy was under Bizantyum dominion from the Gothic War (535) up to 1000. The only places where the conquerors succeded in imposing their language

    It's well known almost all Reggio Calabria's provence 

  • there any greek -italian here who can help me and anwer me in some questions please message me!!!

  • My parents are calabrese from the province of Vibo. Although their dialect is Calabrian, it shares much in common with Greek. Don't forget that all of central and southern Calabrian was predominately Greek speaking until the 15th century. MAGNA GRECIA RULES!!!

  • Hi Alex are you from greece or calabria? you seem to have a love of calabria as i do and i really appreciate your good work and great videos on here.....its numero uno.

    grazie efcharisto grazzi

  • Beautiful, thanks for posting it! Greetings from Macedonia, Greece! Γειά σας αδέλφια!

  • ephcharisto signora tripodi..the calabrian greek from this area is said to be from the ancient greek not byzantine or koine..bravo signora

  • are you sure they are not from byzantine?

  • linguistics experts think the clabrese greek from aspromonte is from ancient greek

  • I agree with Vincenzo. Although there aren't any physical evidences left, there are many linguistic proofs that show the uninterrupted continuity of this idiom since ancient times, therefore of the minority too.

  • This is an error. Grecanic dialect is byzantine.

  • your in error. you have no proof they arent

  • You have non proof they are. All scientists (Alessio, Parlangeli, etc.) using valid evidences establish the byzantine origins of colonies in Italy. Please, do not dream, but read books!

  • thinking and knowing are like apples and oranges ever heard of roelfs?

    They may be right about the colonies in most of southern italy however the aspromonte greeks are different..much more ancient

    Ever heard of Roelfs? he studied calabrese dialect for decades and he is quoted by italians themselves

  • I read the works of Rohlfs (not Roelfs, not even you don't know his name), but you didn't read the important works of Pellegrini, Morosi, Battisti, Alessio and Parlangeli.

  • everyone knows who im talking about..so what if i didnt spell it right. what are you a spelling teacher?

    i will beleive in roelfs as he has more credibility than those other italian experts who are jealous of calabria like yourselff

  • Calm down! You speak about a scientist but do not know his correct name.

    Italian scientist are jealous? Ha ha ha... you aren't serious, incredible! About me, my parents are from Calabria. Could I be jealous of my country? Instead... I study, but you dream! Scientist get proofs that this language has a lot in common with modern Greek. In fact very important philologists assert that it is a dialect derived from Medieval Greek, but with some ancient doric words. You think byzantine are bad, why?

  • Only some words, perhaps, are from ancient doric greek.

  • E' incredibile: sto guardando sbalordito questi video, e mi impressiona come siano potuti rimanere ancora vivi i riflessi di un passato tanto lontano.

    E' straordinario: grazie per tutto il tuo lavoro!

  • Righi is Reggio Calabria and Bovesia is the territory where Greek is still spoken in Calabria...

  • bellissimo!!

  • righi=the city of Reggio Calabria (in ancient times was called Righion)

    bovesia= identifies the Graecanic area, it takes the name from Bova, which has always been the economic and political capital of the greek area.

    platespete= to speak (2nd plurial),from the verb platego=milao (I speak),comes from ancient greek

  • some words i don't understand!!!like...righi,bove­sia,platespete,....jata= gia ta=for the.....jati=giati,or dioti ,which has the same meaning!!...i glossama=h glwssa mas =our language ,...ellenico=Ellhnika=Hellenic­=Greek!

  • Thanks, nixter, apologize for my writing but do not know the modern Greek have never written in Greek

    That than laws is simply the transcription of my way of speaking

  • Your writting is perfect, completely understandable! And spontaneously you have used the way that Greeklish is written

    (Greeklish is called the writting of modern greek with latin characters, for computers or internet sites that dont have greek characters)

  • I am Greek Canadian!!!!and i am very impressed!!i understand 80% of what she is saying!!!!
