Palaioselli (Greek: Παλαιοσέλλι, Aromanian: Paluseli)[2] is a settlement in Ioannina regional unit, Epirus, Greece. The village located in a ravine on the right side of the river Vjosa.[3]
Name
The toponym is a compound and comes from the Greek adjective palio and the Slavic loanword in the Greek Epirot dialect selio meaning the 'garden, the farm near the house'.[3] Selio stemming from the Slavic word selo is found in several Slavic languages: Bulgarian selo 'tent, dwelling, field', Serbo-Croatian selo, Slovenian selo 'homestead, dwelling, farm' and Russian selo 'village, ecclesiastical area'.[3] As such, linguist Kostas Oikonomou states linguist Max Vasmer is incorrect in rendering the placename in Slavic as Staro Selo with a translation of the first part.[3]
Demographics
Palioseli has an Aromanian population and is an Aromanian speaking village.[4][2] In the early 21st century, elderly people were bilingual in the community language and Greek, whereas younger residents under 40 might have understood the community language but did not use it.[5]
