ARBANASI AND THEIR ETHNOLINGUISTIC IDENTITY

Maximiljana Barančić ; Odjel za engleski jezik i književnost, Sveučilište u Zadru, Zadar, Hrvatska

Sažetak

This paper deals with the ethnic and linguistic identity of Arbanasi after their settling in their new Croatian homeland at the beginning of the 18th c., and their centuries-long efforts to preserve both their language and cultural tradition. The analysis of their surnames leads to the conclusion that they succedeed in preserving (without knowing the Albanian script) their ethnolinguistic identity, although the language itself, as an identity feature, was weakened through cross-cultural adaptation.
