Chameria
Chameria ((アルバニア語:Çamëria), (ギリシア語:Τσαμουριά) ''Tsamouriá'') is a term used today mostly by Albanians for parts of the coastal region of Epirus in southern Albania and northwestern Greece traditionally associated with an Albanian speaking population called Chams.〔 "During the beginning of the 20th Century, the northwestern part of the Greek region of Epirus was mostly populated by an Albanian-speaking population, known under the ethnonyme "Chams" (''Çam'' (singular)in Albanian, ''Τσ(ι)άμηδες'', ''Τσ(ι)άμης'' in Greek ). The Chams are a distinct ethno-cultural group which consisted of two integral religious groups: Orthodox Christians and Sunni Muslims. This group lived in a geographically wide area, expanding to the north of what is today the Preveza prefecture, the western part of which is known as Fanari (in Albanian ), covering the western part of what is today the prefecture of Thesprotia, and including a relatively small part of the region which today constitutes Albanian territory. These Albanian speaking areas were known under the name Chamouria (in Albanian, ''Τσ(ι)αμουριά'' or ''Τσ(ι)άμικο'' in Greek )."〕〔Elsie, Robert and Bejtullah D. Destani (2012). ''The Cham Albanians of Greece: A Documentary History''. IB Tauris. ISBN 978-1-780760-00-1. p. XXIX. "Chameria is a mountainous region of the southwestern Balkan Peninsula that now straddles the Greek-Albanian border. Most of Chameria is in the Greek Province of Epirus, corresponding largely to the prefectures of Thesprotia and Preveza, but it also includes the southern-most part of Albania, the area around Konispol. It is approximately 10,000 square kilometres in size and has a current, mostly Greek-speaking population of about 150,000. As an historical region, Chameria, also spelled Chamuria, Chamouria or Tsiamouria, is sometimes confused with Epirus which is in fact a much larger area that includes more inland territory in northwestern Greece, for example, the town of Janina/loannina, and also much of southern Albania. Geographically speaking, Chameria begins to the north at the rivers Pavlle and Shalës in the southern part of Albania. It stretches southwards along the Ionian coastline in Greece down to Preveza and the Gulf of Arta, which in the nineteenth century formed the border between Albania and Greece. It does not include the island of Corfu or the region of Janina to the east. The core or central region of Chameria, known in Greek as Thesprotia, could be said to be the basins of the Kalamas and Acheron Rivers. It was the Kalamas River, known in ancient times as the ‘Thyamis, that gave Chameria its name."〕 Apart from geographical usages, in contemporary times within Albania the toponym has also acquired irredentist connotations.〔Kretsi, Georgia.(The Secret Past of the Greek-Albanian Borderlands. Cham Muslim Albanians: Perspectives on a Conflict over Historical Accountability and Current Rights ) in Ethnologica Balkanica, Vol. 6, p. 172.〕〔(Jahrbücher für Geschichte und Kultur Südosteuropas: JGKS, Volumes 4–5 ) Slavica Verlag, 2002.〕 During the interwar period, the toponym was in common use〔 and the official name of the area above the Acheron river in all Greek state documents.〔 Today it is obsolete in Greek,〔The Greek encyclopedia "Papyrus-Larousse" (Πάπυρος-Λαρούς), c.1965 defines "Tsamouria" (article "Τσαμουριά") ας "''The older name ... of the modern area of Thesprotia''" and directs to article "Thesprotia" (Θεσπρωτία).〕 surviving in some old folk songs. Most of what is called ''Chameria'' is divided between the Greek regional units of Thesprotia and Preveza, the southern extremity of Albania's Sarandë District and some villages in eastern Ioannina regional unit. As the Greek toponyms ''Epirus'' and ''Thesprotia'' have been established for the region since antiquity, and given the negative sentiments towards Albanian irredentism, the term is not used by the locals on the Greek side of the border.
