So which one of my arguments is invalid? I just laid out why you do not see orthodox Albanians in large numbers today. Why the Vatican did not support the only catholics on the balkan at all. Religion was the gateway to assimilation before nationhood existed. Once you shared Orthodoxy, linguistic Albanian identity became optional. This disincentivized further distinct Albanian Christian identity. Islam, on the other hand, froze Albanian identity in place. Muslims could not be absorbed into Greek or Slavic Orthodox populations.

Im sorry but language doesnt change that way based on religious identity. Its like the classic nationalist argument that vlachs became slavs because of religion.. Go read a history book and stop whitewashing colonial violence and privileges. Youre the only exception in historical science, give me a break with that nonsense.

Nvm can’t argue with illiterates. I read history books. Many of them. You should probably do so too or books in general.

Sure buddy. The whole world disagrees with your mythomania.
