Abstract: The cognitive benefits of learning native language and bilingualism project focuses on Arvanites, a bilingual population in Greece that speak Avantika, a dialect of Albanian language still spoken in vast areas of Greece. It is classified as a minority and an endagered language and is considered in risk of extinction. The project aims to examine possible cognitive benefits of bilingualism in native speakers of Avantika, including the ability for further learning and acquisition of other languages.
