Palaioselli (Greek: Παλαιοσέλλι, Aromanian: Paluseli)[2] is a settlement in Ioannina regional unit, Epirus, Greece. The village is situated in a ravine on the right bank of the Vjosa river.[3]

Name

The toponym is a compound derived 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, the linguist Kostas Oikonomou stated 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]
