The name Greek would never be forbidden, if it was the name 'Romaioi' would be used, just like our Byzantine ancestors.
What did Romaioi mean during the middle ages?
Greek Language Greek Culture Christian Faith (Orthodox) Loyalty to the Emperor at Constantinople Loyalty to the Patriarch at Constantinople especially after the Great Schism.
Also remember 'Byzantine' is a modern term introduced by modern Scholars, describing the later Eastern Roman Empire.
Foreigners would call the East Romans Greeks as early as Totila's invasion of Italy - Totila sent an emissary to Rome stating the Latin speakers to rise up against the Byzantine/Greek counter offensive to reclaim Italy.
The Byzantines continued to call themselves Romaioi even up to the very end of the Byzantine Empire, what was important to the Byzantines was the inheritance of Roman Law and traditions. During the 19th century many Greeks would call themselves Romaioi, which meant Greek speaking Christian.
After the Pope proclaimed Charlemagne as the Western Roman Emperor the 'Latin' West would always address the Byzantines as Greeks. The Persians, Arabs and Turks also called the Byzantine Greeks.
The Emperor Heraclius I (reigned 610 - 641) introduced Greek as the official language of the Byzantine Empire, it was already the language of the people and church. The term Basileus/ meaning Emperor was introduced. Constantinople which was a Greek populated city was the capital of the empire, after all Constantine the Great (reigned 306 - 337), the Roman emperor who founded Constantinople had Thracian and Greek origins. At the first council of Nicaea Constantine spoke both Latin and Greek to the clergy, at this council Arianism was denounced as a heresy.

I have been reading tons of history of that era... from the time Constantine the Great and his mother Helena allowed Christianity to be the official religion of the empire to the time of Basil... so much detail of so many people and there is absolutely nothing on Albanians... There is so much on Bulgarians,Slavs,Romanians ,Venetians ,Genoans,Franks,Gauls.... everyone was mentioned... not a peep on Albanians...

reading is a good thing .....you have to know how to read between the lines
or else...... all these mountains of books you are reading you should find a passage of when the 28 Albanians entered and settled upon the Balkans....
come back when you find that ....

Leandre, the same question was asked in the Bulgarian and Serbian forum and I answered with Kebapchians and Cevapcians, which basically means something like oblong rissole. I meant no offense and you should show some sense of humour. As a matter of fact, souvlaki is great.

I don't believe in diets. Once a family friend of ours who was a surgeon told me that if I feel like eating something, then it is my body that wants it. Not my fault I always feel like eating pork

Those Pakis are really retarded. They don't even want to look at a naked woman's picture in the newspaper and turn their heads in some other direction.
