The Real AbanianS.

South of Valona lies the only part of
Albania where the people call them
selves Albanians, or something like it.
1t is said according to Sir Charles
Eliot, that the names Arboeri and Ar
boerec are applied to this region and
its inhabitants. The natives of the rest
of the country know what is meant
when Turks speak OF Arnauts and Eu-
ropeans of Albanians, but they do not
use this name themselves, preferring to
be called Shkyipetar, which means
eagle men. Northern Albanians are also
generally known as Ghegs, southern
Albanians as Tosks but these names
are considered not quite complimentary.
