thread_title:  Dorians? Myceneans? 

message: As it is said further down: "It is uncertain whether any ancient people actually called themselves Pelasgi. In later Greek usage their name was applied to all “aboriginal” Aegean populations." Britannica Encyclopedia http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/449112/Pelasgi"
The points here: 1) the Greek called them such, IE: we are looking for a GREEK word. 2) The "... name was applied to all “aboriginal” Aegean populations."
The solution seems to be obvious: palaios παλαιός meaning "old".   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.70.29.185 (talk) 08:44, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: It just begs pointing out that Pelasgia -> Celasgia -> Celassia -> Helassia -> Hellas is quite a long shot, unless you can provide references to contextually relevant sources containing the intermediate links.  It's especially rich to claim this synonimity in the light of the dismissal of Pelargians -> Pelasgians on the grounds that it's a "mere similarity of sounds" :)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.123.21.116 (talk) 08:47, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

text: Or the Pelasgians were simply Pelasgians and Hellenes were Hellenes (Ellenes), different people of different languages, as Herodotus said, and Hellenes came to the south with Doric migration, driving off the Pelasgian indigenes or assimilating them. ;-) Zenanarh (talk) 14:43, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pelasgia. Etymology 

message: this needs to be researched by non Greeks or Albanians , none corrupted Historians, Researches or anything related to Greeks or Albanians even tho we see Greeks stick their nose everywhere in Wikipedia and not approve anything related to Albanians we know their cause of doing this and it's childish from them but ill say this again don't let delusional people write history here i have found some proof.
Something really useful for pellasgian history <http://www.thelosttruth.altervista.org/SitoEnglish/pelasgian_etruscan_english.html> this website shows the proof of the Albanian language which can read the Pellasgians Words easily , why isn't this mentioned anywhere why are Greeks trying to delete and deny everything that is Albanian related , who exactly are Greeks in this year , why is Macedonia occupied by Slavics , why is History beind stolen from Albanians how hypocrite people can be , if i was them i would be ashamed but it looks like those people don't have shame or morals in particular , rewriting and stealing history is a crime and should not be allowed.
-We also see the old statues and drawing with the (Plis) on their head an Ancient Albanian Hat a symbol , I have seen statues and drawings of people with Plis and Fustanella no one talked about that.
-Why are such things allowed , I know historians from around the world know who exactly Albanians are and try to convince people that Albanians are Ancient and they come from Illyrians there is lots of proof , but seeing proof of Pellasgians with Albanian words says everything , it's enough for everyone to shut their mouth and watch for once read the truth about Pellasgians.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by MrWillis (talk • contribs) 02:14, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Right Article 

message: The article says 
Main article: Albanian nationalism
In 1854, an Austrian diplomat and Albanian language specialist, Johann Georg von Hahn, identified the Pelasgian language with "Ur-Albanian. This theory is totally rejected by contemporary archaeological and historical circles, however it has retained staunch supporters among Albanian nationalists.[63]
'''
Are you kidding me??? You have Hahn, Lochner von Huttenbach, Mathiew, Pilika, Konda, Buda, D'Angely, and Spahiu come up with volumes and you say here that this is Albanian nationalism??? What can I say, well done! There is not one single reference and I mean directly referenced (not "other sources") from the latter six (6)). 
To athenean: Please do NOT REVERT ME when I ask a reference on totally rejected by contemporary archaeological and historical circles with a liquidatory "tendentious". That totally rejected is either to be applied to all non-greek theories or not at all, your use of totally rejected sounds fishy. Don't be then surprized when this article doesn't pass GA Review you'll get that disclaimer of opinion ANY TIME if you keep doing what you're doing. The Trojan Horse has entered this article as well. sulmues (talk) --Sulmues 21:26, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Your tag placement is tendentious because it is common knowledge that this "theory" is completely rejected.  All the "scholars" you quote are either from the 18th and 19th century, their work long since outdated, or pseudo-historians and Albanian national mysticists.  Here's a suggestion:  Why don't you ask Dr. Elsie and see if what he tells you is any different from what I'm telling you.  And keep the trolling comments about "Trojan horses" to yourself.  --Athenean (talk) 21:36, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: None of the scholars that I mentioned are from the XVIIIth century. From the 7 scholars I mentioned only 1 is XIXth century (Hahn); Pilika, Buda, Konda and D'Angely are from second half of XXth century. Aref Mathiew and Spahiu have published in the XXIst century. I don't know what you call common knowledge, because it's not reflected in the article. And I have no idea what Elsie tells us about the Pelasgians because that is not his field of study. sulmues (talk)--Sulmues 21:46, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

text: No, you are missing the point Alexikoua. The paragraph has to be rewritten, not deleted. There are several non-greek theories and they have been presented. For the Albanian we have not presented or referenced to Hahn, Lochner von Huttenbach, Mathiew, Pilika, Konda, Buda, D'Angely, and Spahiu while their heavy books are there to show that albanians come from pelasgians. And what happens? They are labeled "nationalists"? Why are Georgiev's books heavier and not pointing out to the bulgarian nationalism? Or why shouldn't I say that the whole article points to the greek nationalism? All I'm saying is that the "nationalist" stamp is not well supported and the redirect to "main" is premature. However I do not dare change the article because if I do, I know that I'll be reverted and my references quietly deleted. I am looking for a nice way to represent theories that are not surpassed at all and are to be taken into consideration. sulmues (talk)--Sulmues 14:52, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

text: Wikipedia simply reports and does not take sides. Nor does it condone suppressing what has been published and the history of contention: it is certainly a fact that the theory has retained staunch supporters among Albanian nationalists, who I personally consider "fringe", but my opinion is irrelevant. The article must gives the broad picture without participating in localist squabbles on any side. The material has to be rewritten, not deleted.--Wetman (talk) 11:21, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Albanian nationalism???

message: The name Pelasgian is used to identify all the inhabitants of the lands around the Aegean sea.They propably came from the north after the great cataclysm ,but around 4000BC there was a movement from Anatolia where the agriculture spread from Near East,to the big Greek plains at Thessaly (Pelasgiotis) and Thibe.(Compare:city.Larissa-Larsa,mount.Zarkos-Zagros,city.Thibe-Egypt.Thibe).The Pelasgian and Greek myths of the cataclysm are quite similar and the most older greek myths are connected with an area around Thibe.The etymologies of the names Pelasgian and pelagos(open sea) from Proto-Indo-European are not quite satisfactory.Amazingly there is not any satisfactory etymologie for the name Hellenes from Proto-Indo-European,but the name is connected with  Pelasgian areas.In Homer originally the name is applied to the warriors of Achilleus and later to the rest of the Greeks.Achilleus was born in Pthia (Pthiotis) and there is an ancient city named Hellas in the area.Nearby there is an area which was called Graiki in ancient times and is connected with a cataclysm (Ogigis:Phoenecian word) and there was an ancient city named Graea which propably gave the name to the Greeks (Graekes),a word used by the Romans.(An ancient greek poet claims that the mothers of Hellenes were Graekes.)Propably these names are connected with a relegious cult.193.92.181.203 (talk) 11:18, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: It is not a "decent map" of the Pelasgians, because it is not a map of the Pelasgians.  It shows mostly the Macedonia region, not the Pelasgian region. Why is that so hard to understand?  It simply does not show the Pelasgian area (e.g. the Peloponnese), and as such is totally inappropriate for this article, much less the lede of this article.   Also, someone with a revery finger as twitchy as yours is not in a position to lecture others on courtesy and manners.  You would do well to read WP:BRD and familiarize yourself with it, because your behavior is in fact WP:EDITWAR. Athenean (talk) 20:10, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  I only revert "reverters" who ignore WP:TALKDONTREVERT so don't lecture me. WP:BRD should not be abused per: "BRD is not a valid excuse for reverting good-faith efforts to improve a page simply because you don't like the changes. Don't invoke BRD as your reason for reverting someone else's work or for edit warring: instead, provide a reason that is based on policies, guidelines, or common sense.". And don't forget, WP is not perfect. The whole wiki concept is based on incrementalism, i.e. things get improved over time, but that only works if people are willing to improve and not simply delete. To me, this is how wiki is suppose to work. Simply deleting will never create anything but offend people. But I am sure you can get your wiki education someplace else. This is not the point of this conversation. My point is, this is just a start and let's obtain a better map. If you have a better sample of a map, better/newer sources, please post them here and/or on the author's page (i.e. User:Slovenski Volk).

replies: text: Nonsense.  The map is not an improvement in any sense.  It mainly shows the Macedonians, Thracians, Illyrians, people that have absolutely nothing to with the topic of this article.  Nothing, do you understand? They aren't even mentioned in the article! On the other hand, the area of the Pelasgians is not colored, nor is it shown in its entirety.  The Peloponnese, an important Pelasgian area is entirely omitted. "Just a start" it is not, and that is not a reason for adding a completely irrelevant map to this article (that you would even stoop to such an argument). When you have an actual map of the Pelasgian area, then you can add it.  Till then, so long. By the way, the one in total violation of BRD is you. You made a bold change, I reverted you, and instead of discussing you reverted again. And again. Yes, it is never too late to get your wiki education. But that is not my problem.

(The Iliad does not, of course, say that "Lemnos has no Pelasgians", but that a son of Jason ruled their (7.467); 14.230 just calls Lemnos "the city of Thoas".)

thread_title:  Albanian-Pelasgian theory - OBSOLETE THEORY 

message: Reason to remove false claim of "obsolete theory", other then what is stated above.
Once More Time, The Royal Institute Of Sweden, The Most Prestigious Institution In The World Of Languages And Other Doctorates Along With Trinity College And Oxford, Has Published That The Albanian Language Is The Oldest Indo-European Language and the Albanians are the oldest nation in Europe.
The Albanian language has been determined to be the oldest of the European languages by DNA/genes studies at Stanford U.(Luigi Cavalli-Sforza). In addition it has been determined by radio carbon dating that the first Indo-Europeans came to the Balkans by way of Asia Minor and then propagated as agriculturalists throughout the continent taking three thousand years to travel that many kilometers, UK(Colin Renfrow). The Albanian language is thus the "Mother-Language" of all the European languages existing today. This explains why Albanians readily pick up any of the European languages and speak them without appreciateable accents.
(George Fred Williams 1914) - If we return to pre-history, before rhapsodic homer sang to goddesses and methodology heroes, before Greek language was written, one well known nation lived with the name of Pellazg. Albanians are the only ancestors who have the origins from this powerful prehistoric race. Recently has been established that Pellazg - et were ancient Ilirs. Albanian was the true language of Homer, as the Greeks have copied from rapsodian Pellazg their wealthy epos. Kujtim Shehu, Kacanik - translated from the book by Dhimitri Pilika "Pellazg - Our Denied Origin" who has completed an extensive research on the origins of Pellazg.
Johann Georg von Hahn in his 1854 Albanesische Studien identified the Pelasgian language with "Ur-Albanian". In this, he followed earlier suggestions by Giuseppe Crispi (Memoria sulla lingua albanese, Palermo 1831). This "Pelasgian theory" of Albanian origins was shared by some other 19th-century authors
"The ethnic mix of the Greek-speakers of the Ottoman empire (Greek was often learned as a second language by wealthier non-Greek people) was as diverse as any in the Ottoman Empire, possibly more.'The islands and the seafarers from the coastal regions were distinguished by their peculiar ethnicity, many were of mixed Albanian-Greek origin'.
(P. 23 "The Balkans, Nationalism, War and the Great Powers" by Misha Glenny)
"The Koundouriotes, for example, the most powerful maritime family on the island of Hydra, who led a substantial faction during the war (of independence), were of Albanian origin'.
(P. 25 "The Balkans, Nationalism, War and the Great Powers" by Misha Glenny)
"… the modern-day Greek has more in common genetically with the Albanians, the Latin speaking Vlachs and the Turks than with 'Plutarch's men'."
"So too is the fact that in the early nineteenth century the population of Athens was 24 per cent Albanian, 32 per cent Turkish and only 44 per cent Greek."
(Simon Mcllwaine, The Strange Case of the Invisible Minorities, Institutional Racism in the Greek State, International Society for Human Rights, British Section, Dec 1993.)
The Croatian University study has shown clearly that are indigenous Albanians in the Balkans and Europe:

esearch other: "High-Resolution Phylogenetic Analysis of Southeastern Europe Traces Major Episodes of Paternal Gene Flow among Slavic Populations" when: "Almost 93% of SEE E3b1 chromosomes are classified into ALPHA cluster. In Europe, the variance is highest among E3b1a Apulians, Greeks, and Macedonians, and the highest frequency of the cluster is among Albanians, Macedonians, and Greeks (table 1). " If you make a total% of Albanians of Albania and Albanians of Kosovo Albanians have the max all Erb1-a Freq. After say are the Armenians (Latinized Balkan subtract). And then after the Greeks and apulians.
http://mbe.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/re...22/10/1964.pdf
One other study: Cruciani concluded that the distribution of the E3b1-alpha cluster in Europe indicates a Neolithic or post-Neolithic expansion out of the Balkans into Europe that spread as far west as the Iberian Peninsula, and Southeast to Turkey. Diversity STR analysis gives an estimate of about 8 thousand years ago for that expansion
One other study: Semino: It's interesting to note that another recent study concluded that a J sub-group, J2e1 (J-M102), also expanded into Europe from the Balkans during the Neolithic period. Most likely due to Genetic drift, Kosovar Albanians peak frequency HARBOR J2e whereas a variance maximum declines from the Southeastern edge of the studied region
According to Semino: The footprint of J2e1 (M102) on the European map indicates some sort of connection between the southern Balkans and north-central Italy. One possible explanation is that J2e1 may have dispersed into Europe from the Balkans.Some of the highest frequencies that Semino et al saw for J2e1 were Albania (14.3% of total population), north-central Italy (9.6%), Greece (6.5% ) Croatia etc. Semino et al estimated the date of the M102 Mutation at about 8000 years ago. "
One other study was titled: "Maternal And Paternal Lineages In Albania And The Genetic Structure Of Indo-European Populations"

Another study Cavalli-Sforza: The Albanians show considerable Genetic distance with all the populations, however, 14 pair of comparisons between the Albanians and the European populations shows a high level of identity. This is a Correlation function not the sum of the Haplogroupe. And by this function that we conclude that Kosovars & Albanians have one of the strongest DNA Identity in Balkans. By a correlation of 14 values. It is not the some for Greeks (Greeks have a SE identity but not a greek one)
One other study called: "Survey of anthropological features of the Illyrians": The purpose of this paper is to bring to evidence the physical traits of the ancient inhabitants of Cyprus, the Illyrians, through an anthropological study of 93 human skeletons of different periods. Typological Based on the available data the author comes to the Conclusion that the Illyrians of the Albanian territory constituted an Adriatic-Mediterranean population with Nordic and Alpine Minorities. The results of this study throw light on Certain historical phenomena, Which are linked with the origin and formation of the Illyrians "
This survey have shown that Albanians of today are the direct descendents of Illirian-Thraco race!
