Ortodoksët greqishtfolëse flasin gjuhën greke, e cila formon degën e saj unik brenda familjes gjuhëve indo-evropiane.
Në kohët e lashta, rajoni i quajtur Greqia asnjëherë nuk ishte i bashkuar deri në pushtimin romak brenda një njësie të vetme.<ref name="Walbank13"/> Panhelenizmi dhe luftërat kundër Persisë nuk kishin më të bënin me një komb grek të bashkuar sesa koalicioni anti-maqedonas.<ref name="Walbank13"/> Përfundimi ishte se helenët (greqishtfolës të lashtë) kishin një kuptim të dobët ose joefektiv kombëtar.<ref name="Walbank13">Walbank, Frank W.

Cambridge University Press. f. 1-3. "Can we speak of a Greek nation? Greece, as we all know, was never united until the Roman conquest within a single entity; consequently there can be no history of Greece in the sense that there is a history of Rome. But the concept of a Greek nation trying to realise itself (and failing) has been adopted by many historians as the most fruitful criterion for interpreting the kaleidoscopic relations of the Greek cities.... 'Particularism', we read, 'was the hereditary curse of the Greek people.' Athens, Sparta, Macedon, and the third-century Confederations, with their 'republican movement', were the successive incarnations of this spirit of national unity striving to be born. Each in turn proved abortive.... But the other supposedly great moment of Greek unification - the setting up of the League of Corinth by Philip II after Chaeronea - very soon became the centre of polemic. For in proportion as the stock of Philip and Isocrates rose, the reputation of Demosthenes fell, until he began to look like a petty and narrow patriot.... For the urge towards the autonomy of the polis was a force working against, and not in the direction of, Hellenic unity; and in an acute and pessimistic study Ferrabino demonstrated that this liberty, admitting no restraint, and developing whenever circumstances allowed into domination over others, was the one really potent factor in Greek history....

''The Arvanites of Central Greece''. 2003. f. 133. "The Greek-speakers would have called themselves, ironically, “Romioi” or “Romans” to signify the Byzantine claim to continuity with the Eastern Roman Empire—and hence were part of the communities called “Rum” by the Ottomans".</ref>
