The name Arbërishte is derived from the ethnonym "Albanoi", which in turn comes from the toponym "Arbëria" (Άρβανα), which in the Middle Ages referred to a region in what is today Albania (Babiniotis 1998). Its native equivalents (Arbërorë, Arbëreshë and others) formerly were the self-designation of Albanians in general. Both "Arbëria" and "Albania/Albanian" go further back to name forms attested since antiquity.


Italo-Arbërisht is descended from Arvanitika, which is the eldest sub-dialect of Arbërisht, part of the Tosk dialect group of Albanian.[2] It was brought to southern Greece during the late Middle Ages by settlers from what is today southern Albania and Epirus, and subsequently taken to Italy from there.

The language is not usually written outside of the church and a few highly educated families, but officials are now using the standard Albanian alphabet, which is used on street signs in the villages as well as taught in schools.
