Wrong. The term barbarian was used to refer to people who did not speak Greek.

WRONG!

The term barbarian was used by Herodotus to refer to people who did not speak the Hellenic dialect of Greek. It was also used by the Athenians to refer to those who did not speak the Attic dialect of Greek including the Spartans and Macedonians who as we know were both Greek tribes who spoke the Doric dialect. So it is clear that you don't have the remotest clue of what you are talking about.

The Pelasgians are Greeks by definition

Wrong. The Pelasgians were non-Greek by definition.

WRONG!

Gaercus was the son of Thessalus the son of Haemon the son of Pelasgians. The term Greeks come from the great grandson of Pelsagus. The Pelasgains are therefore Greeks by definition.
