	Moscopole - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the 18th century, it was a major Balkan city and cultural and commercial center of the Aromanians (Vlachs), having notably the first printing press in the Balkans, but it was razed in 1788 by Ali Pasha.
		Toward the end of the 18th century it flourished due to commerce with Germany, Venice and Constantinople and it had various manufacturing plants, around 70 churches, banks, a printing press (the only other press of Ottoman Europe was in Istanbul) and even a university (The New Academy, or Hellênikon Frôntistêrion, founded in 1744).
		A cultural effervescence arose in Moscopole, and many authors published their works in both Greek language (which was the language of culture of the Balkans at the time) and Aromanian written in the Greek alphabet.

	Informat.io on Aromanians
		Since the Middle Ages, due to the Turkish occupation and the destruction of their cities, such as Moscopole, many Aromanians fled their homeland in the Balkans to settle the Romanian principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia, which had a similar language and a certain degree of autonomy from the Turks.
		For example Moscopole at that time was the second larges city in the Balkans, second after Istanbul itself, having a population of 60.000.
		Their cities were destroyed by the Ottomans: Moscopole was raised to the ground in 1778 by the troops of Ali Pasha.

	Aromanian language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Also, with the coming of the Turks in the Balkans, Aromanian received some Turkish words as well.
		There are two major Aromanian dialects which are named after two respective places nowadays located in Albania: the Moscopole dialect (from the town of Moscopole, also known as the "Aromanian Jerusalem") and the Gramustean dialect (from the Gramostea/Grammos region).
		The grammar and morphology is very similar to the one in Romanian and unlike to the other Romance languages.

	All Empires History Forum: Pyrrhus vs Ali Bey
		Pyrrhus was a good general but in the end, he was fighting against odds and lost.
		I dont see how Ali Pasha compares to Pyrrhus however, as Pyrrhus was not in Epirus, his campaigns were offensives, yet Ali Pasha, with the exception of the local attacks on the Souliots and other people of Epirus(razing of Moscopole) was defensive in the larger part.
		The defenses he setup in Ioannina were incredibly large and made it so a small amount of reinforcement could handle a strong Ottoman attack.
