Although I have many arques about dates and times and origin
the one who should read the link you post is someone in forum we both know,
cause have enough accuracy but also some mistakes.
the first Arbanites were Gegs who went to Theba at 1240 about bu Ducchy of Athens
after the entered Attica at 1380 by Peter of Aragonia
and after 1400 pass to Peloponese from the above by Palaiologos license
after 1425 they expand to all over Venicians had colonies,
and venicians bring more from Adriatic sea to a population estimated about 10 000 souls at Venician castle and colonies around peloponese Evoia and Attica.
until 1460 these Arbanites are part of venician castle forces,
almost majority of them were Hellenised by the 1800, and to some big and strong homogenous villages after WW1.
the second, of Albanian speakers, wave is much later mainly by christian Tosks and Vlachs (Arvantovlachs) who were pressed by Muslims
infact around 1680 till Ali Pasha times, waves of Greeks Slavs Vlachs Albanians migrate to Greece, with their villages burnt down at Epiros and Albania
search the Moschopolis case, and many other,
an ethnic religious cleansing that happened there, created devastation,
read N Kasomoulis memories, you will find many interesting on what was going on that time.
Simon Simeonsis mentions at 1300 about AD that at Dyrrachion all were Christians
and major population was speaking Latin
secondary were Greeks
and also existed Albanensis
the times after Kastrioti
and the time of the second wave happened a big cleansing there,
and you know it.
The 3rd wave is the times of Orlov's till 1923.
these were pure Albanians who served Ottomans, or equal to Ottomans etc etc
most of them went away, or exchanged, or even kicked off.
like the Lalla ones,
remember that Ottoman supressing forces, at 1820 were mostly Albanian soldiers and Albanian officers.
and there were battles that both armies used Albanian to comunicate each other.
