Currently template:infobox former country doesn't have a demonym section. For anyone curious, Wiktionary cites "Epirote" (Google: 44k), but "Epiriot" also pulls up 9k. - LlywelynII ( talk) 13:34, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
A decent explanation is needed on why a supposed Albanian word is related with ancient Greek aspetos. A precise quote is also needed to verify the claimed connection. Alexikoua ( talk) 20:11, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
I've checked the reference. As I've imagine it's a work published during the totalitarian regime period in Albania, by a number of the communist-era authors of the Academy of Science (in this case Neritan Ceka). No wonder the work takes the Albanian-Illyrian continuity hypothesis for granted (dismissed by international scholarship). Typical wp:fringe that should be avoided.

Dismissed by international scholarship??? By who excactly?? Can someone be more biased than you?? Can't believe you are a Wiki admin!! Etimo ( talk) 08:41, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Epirus (ancient state)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "RoismanWorthington2011":
Many surviving public and private inscriptions indicate that in the Macedonian kingdom there was no dominant written language but standard Attic and later on koine Greek.
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 03:08, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
user:Khirurg how isn't this important piece of cultural shift toward hellenization of Epirus part of the culture? RoyalHeritageAlb ( talk) 16:08, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
