correcting wrong information
[edit]Old Karagounides speak Aeolian Greek? This cannot be scientifically justified whatsoever. All modern Greek dialects derive from Koine Greek and no elements of the ancient dialects are thought to survive in the modern ones.
Also, Karagounides are not the inhabitants of Thessaly in general but only the lowlands of West Thessaly. People who live in areas with higher elevation are not Karagounides, nor are the inhabitants of Magnesia and Larisa — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.146.160.62 (talk) 23:19, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
Wait, What?
[edit]The Aeolic dialect supposedly went extinct seventeen hundred years ago on the Isle of Lesbos, your gonna have to provide a lot of evidence to prove that they still speak that dialect. It would not be unprecedented, just extremely surprising, after all, this surprise was brought to our attention just last year. But nevertheless you would need to hefty documentation of this dialect to prove to me that it is a member of a branch of dialects that were supposed to have gone extinct over a millennium ago. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.10.117.203 (talk) 16:27, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
