Pades (Greek: Πάδες, Aromanian: Pãdz)[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.[2]
Name
The placename comes from the Greek Epirot preposition padi meaning the 'flat and smooth surface in the middle of the slope'.[2] It stems from the Slavic term padь, with the same meaning, rather than directly from the Slavic preposition of the term, as etymologised by the linguist Max Vasmer.[2] In Aromanian, the term is a loanword where the noun pãde means 'the flat place' and the adjective pade 'below, low'.[2] The Aromanian rendition of the toponym, pãdz, is from the plural form of that word.[2]
Demographics
Pades has an Aromanian population and is an Aromanian speaking village.[3][4] 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]
