Ablianite Vlachs are natives of Evrytania, while the Arvanitovlachs (or Albanian Vlachs) are originally from Albania & Epirus.

The semi-nomadic inhabitants of the village of Stavropiyi in Evrytania (known as ‘Ablianite Vlachs’, from the old name of the village, Abliani) were descended from them. By the beginning of the twentieth century, the Ablianites appear to have been exclusively Greek-speaking, with no memory of having known or used Vlach language previously.Originally posted by Liberator of Makedonija View Post
(They may or may not have been related to the Arvanitovlachs. The screenshots above distinguish the two groups.)Comment

"We started off by trying to identify different groupings among the nomads. Christos Berates was himself of the Karagouni (Arvanito-Vlachs), and even he found it difficult to draw the distinctions in dress between his people and the Sarakatsani and the Koutso-Vlachs... He recognized, of course, the linguistic differences and pointed out that the Koutso-Vlachs do not know Albanian the way his people do."
