Everyone can share here everything what has to do with Pontic Greeks. It could be history, pictures of our beautiful places, culture, folk dance, kitchen..

This thread is also open for discussions. One of the reasons why I opened this topic is because of the discussions about it, but in the wrong topic. So, come here and discuss/share information in an respectful way. :rolleyes:

Do you speak Greek?

No. I just know many words, which we automatically use when we speak Turkish. It's most likely the name of food, like Gulia, xavits. Or words which we are using in short conversations. There are people I know who speak it fluently, but not me.

There was a Pontic boy in my high school but they are so few maybe there are even much less Greek speakers than Laz speakers.

The Pontic and Laz languages are literally in danger. The elders speak this language fluently and some of the young too, but not many. If it keeps going like this, it will die. I'm just happy that there are many musicians from Trabzon or Greece who visit Trabzon, and are making songs in the language. They're also working together, which makes me happier. There is an album made, Pontus manzarasi, and it's amazing. This is one of my motivations to learn and speak it fluently. This is also the reason why I came here to see if there are more Pontic Greeks here who could help me out with some things.

Better call them "pontian Greeks or black Sea Greeks, not to be confused with the Pontic med type which they rarely/never share (they are usually armenoid, as all people near caucasus)

You don't recognize them as Greeks? But they are no less than 500k in Hellas.
Pontic Greeks, though being genetically far away from actual Greeks, they speak a very old dialect of Greek.

How many Pontic Greeks live in Eastern Black Sea region? I read that there are 10% Pontic Greeks in Trabzon but how is it trustable I don't know.

Also do you have any Pontic Greek kits? I want to learn about their genetics and how much are they cousins with mainland Greeks.

Pontic Greeks aren't Christian Turks.
Their mother language is Greek.
Karamanlis from Central Anatolia were Christian Turks. They couldn't speak a single word Greek. Being Orthodox, even their bible was Turkish.

Pontic Greeks speak the oldest version of Greek language among living dialects. Other Greek dialects evolved, however Pontic Greek sticked to what was taught to them by the elite coming from Aegean 2300 years ago.
We can presume they aren't real Greeks by looking at their genes, beside phenotype. They are far away from the East Med typical Greeks.
They are like 5%-7% of modern Greece's population, which isnt that few.

That's right. Many of them also have Turkish surnames as a result of living inside Turks and being led by Turkic ruling stratum. Their language might also be influenced of course. But that's not only them, many of the Asian Greeks who went to Greece in the 1923 population exchange have Turkish family names.
Armenians are another people using Turkish surnames actively with their -yan suffix (Tashjiyan, Ekmekjian, Temirjiyan etc.).
You don't watch World Cup nowadays? Even Croat goalkeeper Subasic's name is Turkish (Subaşı).

Turkish influence isn't enough to make conclusion like you are making.
They speak a very old dialect of Hellenic. Though you are right, they are in reality assimilated natives of East Black Sea.

Do pontics have a different phenotype from mainland greeks?

brennus dux gallorum

07-09-2018, 11:05 AM

Do pontics have a different phenotype from mainland greeks?
Usually yes
Mainland Greeks are usually med of several types (dinaromed, pontid, atlantomed and gracile), Alpine, dinaric and Nordic, meanwhile pontians are usually armenoid, Asian alpine and east Mediterranid
But they may often overlap

Not as much as it is fabled in TA

There are distinct Pontic Greek looks but alos many many Pontians who don't look very different from other Greek people.

And Pontian Greeks at least to me look different from general Turks and Anatolians at least the same as they do from Greeks.

Also both, very dark and very light/blond types exist among them

Most all Pontic Greeks in Greece have typical -idis surnames. This was most likely result of 'Hellenizing' their last name as much as they could, so they can fit in more with Greek Mainland society. But you have your more 'exotic' surnames from the region as well such as Hatzipanagiotidou - imagine that!

The -idis suffix is usually an indicator that they're originally from Northern Greece, but I think more-so because many Anatolian Greeks, especially from Pontos, ended up settling there after the population exchange.

Also, not all Pontic Greeks are armenoid phenotype.

NOTE: I think the -idis was put on after the population exchange but I'm not 100% sure on that, to be honest. Perhaps it started before as well.

Trabzonians in Turkey usually (but not always) have recognizeable distinct phenotypes.

But many Laz people live in Trabzon so i don't know if it's them who has that distinct phenotype.

A correction :

Turks had no surnames up until required to do so , by law, after 1930+.

Everyone having a surname before that , was usually of non-Turkish origin.

The people in Turkey who descend from Pontic Greeks and are now Turks are distinguished from Laz and call themselfes Rum
and speak Pontic Greek which they call Romeika.

Laz is native Georgian tribe they speak Lazuri and it is a Georgian language nothing or very little to do with Greeks.

However music and instruments are very similar to Pontic Greeks

They have Daoul,Kemence"in Greek lyra" and Tulum"Bagpipe"as their instruments same with Pontian Greeks.

I'm very well aware of the difference between Pontics and Lazes.

They don't usually call themselves Rum and most don't speak Pontic Greek.

They usually just call themselves Trabzonian(Trabzonlu)

As i said all these people now became Turks or identify with Turkish nation.

But the people who realy come from former Pontian Greeks call themselfes Rum.

After alot of Greek Pontians left the region their houses and villages were settled also by alot of Turks from other
parts of Anatolia.

Native Laz are often very light and look Pontid or Pontid with Armenoid mix and not so much pure Armenoid.

The lightest Turks i have seen were people with Laz origin

the -idis existed before 1922 and majority of Pontians had it like today
-idis is not Pontian Greek exclusive... it exists among Greeks from Asia Minor,Thrace,Cyprus as well
-idis was taken by some refugee Greeks as 'Hellenization' of their original surname which ended with -oglou... a Turkish origin ending

Laz people are light but i think they have the most Armenoid features. They are very brachycephalic and famous with big hooked noses.

Check out this guy, he's very recognizeable Laz.

Armenoids proper are darker

That's common misconception, textbook Armenoids aren't dark.

Considered to be the "true" Caucasians, Armenoids were relatively tall, usually with medium to dark brown or black hair, light to medium skin colour, large round eyes that were usually brown; a round, brachycephalic head shape with a straight backing (planocciput) (see Cephalic index), high cheekbones and non-prominent chins. Lips were full, and noses were often aquiline. Large minority of Armenoids have blond hair and blue, green, or hazel eyes.

Not all Laz people are light.

-idis or -ides and -iadis or iades (-ίδης/-ιάδης): meaning 'son of' or 'descendant of'. The suffix -idis (often transliterated -ides in English and French) is the oldest in use. Zeus, for example, was also referred to as Cronides ("son of Cronus"). -idis was the most common suffix in Byzantium, Bithynia and Byzantine Thrace, being also used by Pontic Greeks and Caucasus Greeks in the Pontic Alps, northeast Anatolia, Georgia, the former Kars Oblast, and sometimes in Epirus, Corfu and some Aegean islands. Examples include: "Stavridis", "Koutoufides", "Angelidis", "Georgiadis".

From a genetics point of view, there is overlap between Laz and Pontians. However, that’s not full. There are also differences. Laz people are genetically around 60% Caucasus in component. That makes them a little bit closer to Mengreliand (Christian Laz people living in Western Georgia).

No difference in Polis vs Poli (the first two). They both mean city, just Poli is the more simplified, modern version.
Generally though, depends of how it is written:

(η) πόλη - Poli - City - modern Greek
(η) πόλις - Polis - City - Archaic Greek
(οι) πόλεις - Polis - Cities - modern Greek plural.
(της) πόλης - Polis - City - genitive case modern Greek ''of city's''

Yes. We were affected by Greeks, Romans-Latins, Turkics, Persians and probably Armenians. For instance Laz people call the 4th month "April" as it's written. Georgians don't call the same. It came from probably Greeks or Romans. Btw some of the Laz use "Tangri-Tanri" instead of God-Allah including my grandmother which must have been borrowed from early Turkics.

2 different ethic groups.

Thanks, so we recently borrowed that word not in the archaic era or we simply simplified it.. So we say Konstantinopolis because it means Konstantin's city (genitive)?
My bad. By Archaic, I mean not modern. It was used from antiquity (Ancient Greek) officially up until Junta, even though the simplified ''modern'' usage started earlier.

Kostantinoupolis , yeah, is Konstantine's city. Although the genetive goes to the ''owner''

(Ο) Κωνσταντίνος (O) konstantinos , in genitive is (του) Κωνσταντίνου (tou Konstantinou) . Κοnstantinou-polis.

There are not Pontians who mixed with Lazs,Georgians and Turks.

Pontians are native anatolians mostly and that’s why you see armenoids,Caucasids,asiatic alpine etc.

The Pontians with Pontid and med phenotypes are not only Greeks but they can be also anatolians.

Yes. We were affected by Greeks, Romans-Latins, Turkics, Persians and probably Armenians. For instance Laz people call the 4th month "April" as it's written. Georgians don't call the same. It came from probably Greeks or Romans. Btw some of the Laz use "Tangri-Tanri" instead of God-Allah including my grandmother which must have been borrowed from early Turkics. Lol even Turkics don't use Tengri today.

He would allow it but there aren't any Pontians left speaking Greek today.

The system forces Turks to use Allah. In fact even the Farsi word Huda is more accepted than Tanrı/Tengri. But with the enlightenment and the loosening of the Islamist influence on the society, more and more young people started to use Tanrı/Tengri. Even MHP leader Bahçeli who can be considered as part Islamist started to share tweets using phrase like Tanrı Türk'ü korusun.

Tanrı doesn't have historical use to refer Allah, Hüda does, so i guess that's why it's acceptable. "Tanrı" sounds alien to people, i wonder how did Laz people adopt it. Some turks must have been using that word around that time.

By the way, some people called me 'far right' İ see, putting words in my mouth.... Something I don't like.
That said, I don't have a problem with people speaking local languages.
We must also emphasize that local languages such as Laz, Abkhazian, Circassian, Kurdish are taught at school and students can choose them as optional lessons as early as primary school.
https://www.sabah.com.tr/egitim/2013/09/13/lazca-secmeli-ders-oldu

I don't have problem with that.

For some reasons, Pontic Greek or any other dialect of Greek doesn't enjoy the same status. It must because of the negative image the Hellenic languages enjoy in Turkey. That might be due to religious reasons or geopolitical reasons (like the Turkish-Greek rivalry in the Aegean).

Greek is considered as Christian people language in Turkey. Actually Greek is taught in Istanbul's Greek Orthodox schools. It's under protection of the Lausannes Treaty signed by Republican Turkey and the Allied Forces at the end of the Greco-Turkish war.

That also implies that Greeks are supposed to be Orthodoxes in Turkey.

So, Muslim Laz exist in Turkey somewhat officially but 'Muslim Pontic Greeks' don't seem to exist.

Allah = Al İlah. The God.
İlah entered to Arabic language from Hebrew.
Hebrews (Jews) took it from the old Coptic Egyptian word 'Yah' (that means Moon) when they were living in Egypt.

I1 Haplo just point their first forefather but they are not Vikings , they are nigg*rs.
So dont play with haplo and phenotypes because its nothingEv 13 (e1b1b) were africans who branched off e1b1. Its why e1b1a is in ssa exclusively.

You are masterfully avoiding my points like you avoid with anything related to your italian cam wanker past.

I'm saying you can indeed have Slavic admixture, but you pretend to be epitome of Greekness.

Moreover, you probably wouldn't claim a Slavic looking Greek from Northern Greece to mixed with Slavs, but you easily excommunicate any Greek from Greekness who doesn't look pleasant enough for you, like what Gultekin says.

By the way, some people called me 'far right' İ see, putting words in my mouth.... Something I don't like.
That said, I don't have a problem with people speaking local languages.
We must also emphasize that local languages such as Laz, Abkhazian, Circassian, Kurdish are taught at school and students can choose them as optional lessons as early as primary school.
https://www.sabah.com.tr/egitim/2013/09/13/lazca-secmeli-ders-oldu

I don't have problem with that.

For some reasons, Pontic Greek or any other dialect of Greek doesn't enjoy the same status. It must because of the negative image the Hellenic languages enjoy in Turkey. That might be due to religious reasons or geopolitical reasons (like the Turkish-Greek rivalry in the Aegean).

Greek is considered as Christian people language in Turkey. Actually Greek is taught in Istanbul's Greek Orthodox schools. It's under protection of the Lausannes Treaty signed by Republican Turkey and the Allied Forces at the end of the Greco-Turkish war.

That also implies that Greeks are supposed to be Orthodoxes in Turkey.

So, Muslim Laz exist in Turkey somewhat officially but 'Muslim Pontic Greeks' don't seem to exist.

Because Ottomans dubbed Muslim Pontians "Laz". They simply considered muslims in the region Laz and the Christians Pontic Greeks. That is why today still the peoples in black sea region are considered Laz as a whole wrongly.

Tanrı doesn't have historical use to refer Allah, Hüda does, so i guess that's why it's acceptable. "Tanrı" sounds alien to people, i wonder how did Laz people adopt it. Some turks must have been using that word around that time.

It might be a specific case for my family. Because there is also a Laz word for God: Xormot'i. I believe some of the Laz lineage adopted Tangri from Turkic tribes in antiquity and preserved it till today.

Allah is not Arabic, that's Hebrew (and ultimately Egyptian) and has old roots going to when Jews were in Egypt.
Muhammad's father was Abdullah (Abd Allah), he was not Muslim but had that name. How come?
Allah = Al İlah. The God.
İlah entered to Arabic language from Hebrew.
Hebrews (Jews) took it from the old Coptic Egyptian word 'Yah' (that means Moon) when they were living in Egypt.

There are Armenoids in Greece also some parts of Continental Greece.

Armenoids have been recorded even in the Balkan region for example Bulgaria and other regions

Someone who claims Armenoids don't exist at all in Europe is delusional.

i think Greeks from Saframpolis are considered Pontic Greeks... maybe i'm wrong
also now that i searched Nikomideia had significant Pontic Greek population

All Greeks close to the coastal line of the Black Sea region were considered Pontic Greeks and had similar customs
dressing e.c.t

There is not only East Pontus and Tapezounta but else West Pontus which in fact borders East Thrace.
Bafra e.c.t
Paphlagonia is also roughly counted as Pontus region.

Also there are Pontian Greeks since Ancient times on the Northern Black Sea region Southern Russia and Ukraine.

Retard, they were converted to Christianity.

Only a small number of them converted to Christianity. The vast majority remained Muslim, until today.

Meanwhile, a number of these Karamanlides never stopped speaking Greek:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cappadocians#Early_Christianian_and_Byzantine_peri ods

In the meantime many former Cappadocians had shifted to a Turkish dialect (written in Greek alphabet (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_alphabet), Karamanlıca (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karamanli_Turkish)), and where the Greek language (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_language) was maintained (Sille, villages near Kayseri, Pharasa town and other nearby villages), it became heavily influenced by the surrounding Turkish. This dialect of Greek is known as Cappadocian Greek (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cappadocian_Greek). Following the 1923 population exchange between Greece and Turkey (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_exchange_between_Greece_and_Turkey), the language is now only spoken by a handful of the former population's descendants in modern Greece (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greece).

By the fifth century AD, the last of the Indo-European native languages of Asia Minor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatolian_languages) ceased to be spoken, replaced (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hellenization) by Koine Greek (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koine_Greek).[6] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cappadocian_Greek#cite_note-Oxford_University_Press-6) At the same time, the communities of central Asia Minor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatolia) were becoming actively involved in the affairs of the Greek-speaking Eastern Roman Empire (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Roman_Empire), and some (now Greek-speaking) Cappadocians, such as Maurice Tiberius (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurice_Tiberius) (r. 582-602) and Heraclius (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heraclius) (r. 610 to 641), would even rise to become Emperors (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byzantine_Emperor).[7] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cappadocian_Greek#cite_note-Stark,_Freya_2012_390-7)[8] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cappadocian_Greek#cite_note-Corradini,_Richard_2005_57-8)
Cappadocian Greek first began to diverge from the Medieval Greek (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval_Greek) common language of the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Roman_(Byzantine)_Empire) six centuries later,[5] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cappadocian_Greek#cite_note-Dawkins-5) following the Byzantine's defeat at the Battle of Manzikert (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Manzikert) in 1071. This defeat allowed Turkish (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_language) speakers to enter Asia Minor for the first time, severing Cappadocia from the rest of the Byzantine world.[citation needed (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)] Over the next centuries Cappadocian Greek would be heavily influenced by Turkish, but unlike Standard Modern Greek (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Modern_Greek), it would not be influenced by Venetian (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venetian_language) and French from the Frankokratia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankokratia) period, which followed the Fourth Crusade (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Crusade)'s sack of Constantinople (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constantinople) in 1204.
The earliest records of the language are in the macaronic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macaronic_language) Persian (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_language) poems of Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumi) (1207-1273), who lived in Iconium (Konya (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konya)), and some ghazals (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghazal) by his son Sultan Walad (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sultan_Walad).[9] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cappadocian_Greek#cite_note-9)[10] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cappadocian_Greek#cite_note-10) Interpretation of the texts is difficult as they are written in Arabic script (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_script), and in Rumi's case without vowel points; Dedes' is the most recent edition and rather more successful than others.[11] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cappadocian_Greek#cite_note-11)[12] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cappadocian_Greek#cite_note-12)[13] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cappadocian_Greek#cite_note-13)
Many Cappadocians shifted to Turkish altogether (written with the Greek alphabet, Karamanlidika (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karamanlides)). Where Greek was maintained (Sille (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sille_(village)) near Konya, numerous villages near Kayseri, including Misthi (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misthi), Malakopea (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malakopea), and Anakou (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaymakli) and Pharasa town), it became heavily influenced by the surrounding Turkish. However, there are next to no written documents in Medieval or early Modern Cappadocian, as the language was, and still essentially is, a spoken language only. Those educated to read and write, such as priests, would do so in the more classicising literary Greek. The earliest outside studies of spoken Cappadocian date from the 19th century, but are generally not very accurate.

All original Indo-Europeans belonged to R1 haplo, but some other Y-DNA's were absorbed like I1 by Germanics and I2 by Slavs.

Yes, but it's a clue of ancestry. Your approximation to Slavs is very suspicious. North Greece already has native Slavs like Pomaks, Bulgarians and a Slavic group speaking a Bulgarian dialect you hate them to be called Macedonians. What are the odds you aren't mixed with them?

And let's not leave out Arvantines and Vlachs.

All of them are either Slavicised or Arvanised or Romanised. None of these languages were native in the south Balkans 2.000 years ago.

You are masterfully avoiding my points like you avoid with anything related to your italian cam wanker past.

I'm saying you can indeed have Slavic admixture, but you pretend to be epitome of Greekness.

Moreover, you probably wouldn't claim a Slavic looking Greek from Northern Greece to mixed with Slavs, but you easily excommunicate any Greek from Greekness who doesn't look pleasant enough for you, like what Gultekin says.

https://i.hizliresim.com/29Da7v.png

Gultekin is such an idiot, he placed a Hellenized Egyptian from Fayum in the Cyclades!!!

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/09/Fayum-01.jpg/155px-Fayum-01.jpg

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fayum_mummy_portraits

Mummy portraits or Fayum mummy portraits (also Faiyum mummy portraits) is the modern term given to a type of naturalistic painted portrait (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portrait) on wooden boards attached to Egyptian mummies (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mummy) from Roman Egypt (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Egypt). They belong to the tradition of panel painting (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panel_painting), one of the most highly regarded forms of art in the Classical world (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_antiquity). In fact, the Fayum portraits are the only large body of art from that tradition to have survived.
Mummy portraits have been found across Egypt (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egypt), but are most common in the Faiyum Basin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faiyum_Oasis), particularly from Hawara (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawara) in the Fayum Basin (hence the common name) and the Hadrianic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadrian) Roman (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Rome) city Antinoopolis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antinoopolis). "Faiyum Portraits" is generally thought of as a stylistic, rather than a geographic, description. While painted cartonnage (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartonnage) mummy cases date back to pharaonic times, the Faiyum mummy portraits were an innovation dating to the time of the Roman occupation of Egypt.[1] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fayum_mummy_portraits#cite_note-1)
The portraits date to the Imperial Roman era (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Empire), from the late 1st century BC or the early 1st century AD onwards. It is not clear when their production ended, but recent research suggests the middle of the 3rd century. They are among the largest groups among the very few survivors of the highly prestigious panel painting (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panel_painting) tradition of the classical world, which was continued into Byzantine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byzantine_art) and Western traditions in the post-classical world, including the local tradition of Coptic iconography (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coptic_art) in Egypt.
The portraits covered the faces of bodies that were mummified for burial. Extant examples indicate that they were mounted into the bands of cloth that were used to wrap the bodies. Almost all have now been detached from the mummies.[2] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fayum_mummy_portraits#cite_note-2) They usually depict a single person, showing the head, or head and upper chest, viewed frontally. In terms of artistic tradition, the images clearly derive more from Greco-Roman (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greco-Roman_world) artistic traditions (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Roman_art) than Egyptian ones (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egyptian_art).[3] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fayum_mummy_portraits#cite_note-3)
Two groups of portraits can be distinguished by technique: one of encaustic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encaustic_painting) (wax) paintings, the other in tempera (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempera). The former are usually of higher quality.
About 900 mummy portraits are known at present.[4] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fayum_mummy_portraits#cite_note-4) The majority were found in the necropoleis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necropolis) of Faiyum. Due to the hot dry Egyptian climate, the paintings are frequently very well preserved, often retaining their brilliant colours seemingly unfaded by time.

Now let's take a view of Gultekin and his family:

Mycenaeans with I are not real Greeks than. It was common for Greeks to assimilate neighboring tribes.

I is native to the Balkans and Europe. J came from Asia. Both J and I have branched out of H and they are both forming a straight line from the Middle East (J1) Greece (J2) the Balkans (I2) all the way to Scandinavia (I1)

During the Mycenaean era, there were nobody named "Greek" or "Hellene", therefore your suggestion that the Greeks assimilated others back then is... Well... STOOPID.

Furthermore, the Proto-Greeks who imposed their Indo-European Greek language upon the natives originated in Ukraine, and most likely they included those I invaders to Greece, not the other way around.

So, you are wrong in all counts.

No they didn't

The whole concept of an Indo European invasion from the Ukrainian steppes is an outdated concept and is challenged more and more in scientific circles.

We don't even know if some parts of the Neolitihic Farmers for example the Aegean Anatolian Farmers who are the major source of Neolithic input in Greece
but even Balkans and other parts of Europe did already spoke an Indo European language.

The whole question with Indo Europeans and how the Indo European languages orignated and spread is much more complex and multifacceted than

Nice songs. Here is one in Turkish/Pontic (a few words).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62vDl5dWl8g

This music group Imera (from Trabzon) was made by friends, their interests for music brought them together. They became popular in Turkey in a short period of time. The style they got is very much cultural, like the songs they make and-or sing. They once said in a interview that they always seek for approvement by their elders about the songs. If the grandma/grandpa likes it, they see it as a sign, like: "Yes, if they like it, everyone is gonna like it. It means that we did a good job to show our culture/style like it is."

The whole question with Indo Europeans and how the Indo European languages orignated and spread is much more complex and multifacceted than
alot of folks were made to believe for so long

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-European_migrations

Indo-European migrations were the migrations of pastoral (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pastoralism) peoples speaking the Proto-Indo-European language (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proto-Indo-European_language) (PIE), who departed from the Yamnaya (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamnaya) and related cultures in the Pontic–Caspian steppe (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontic%E2%80%93Caspian_steppe), starting at <abbr title="circa">c.</abbr> 4000 BCE. Their descendants spread throughout Europe (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe) and parts of Asia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asia), forming new cultures with the people they met on their way, including the Corded Ware culture (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corded_Ware_culture) in Northern Europe (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Europe) and the Vedic culture (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vedic_culture) in the Indian subcontinent (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_subcontinent). These migrations ultimately seeded the cultures and languages of most of Europe, Greater Iran (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Iran), and much of the Indian subcontinent (and subsequently resulted in the largest and most broadly spoken language family in the world).
Modern knowledge of these migrations is based on data from linguistics (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistics), archaeology (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaeology), anthropology (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropology) and genetics (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetics). Linguistics describes the similarities between various languages, and the linguistic laws at play in the changes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_change) in those languages (see Indo-European studies (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-European_studies)). Archaeological data, describes the spread of the Proto-Indo-European language and culture (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proto-Indo-European_society) in several stages from the Proto-Indo-European homeland (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proto-Indo-European_homeland) (probably situated in the Pontic–Caspian steppe (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontic%E2%80%93Caspian_steppe)), into Western Europe (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Europe), into Central (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Asia), South (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Asia) and (very sporadically) Eastern Asia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Asia), by migrations, and by language shift through elite-recruitment as described by anthropological research.[2] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-European_migrations#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAnthony2007-2)[3] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-European_migrations#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBeckwith2009-3) Recent genetic research has a growing contribution to the understanding of the historical relations between various historical cultures.
The Indo-European languages and cultures spread in various stages. Early migrations from c. 4200–3000 BCE brought archaic proto-Indo-European into the lower Danube valley (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cucuteni-Trypillian_culture),[4] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-European_migrations#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAnthony2007133-4) Anatolia,[5] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-European_migrations#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAnthony2007262-5)[6] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-European_migrations#cite_note-FOOTNOTEParpola201537_f.-6)[web 1] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-European_migrations#cite_note-EB_AnatLang-7) and the Altai region.[7] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-European_migrations#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMalloryAdams19974-8)
Proto-Celtic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proto-Celtic) and Proto-Italic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proto-Italic) probably developed in and spread from Central Europe into western Europe after new Yamnaya migrations into the Danube Valley,[8] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-European_migrations#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMallory1999108_f.-9)[9] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-European_migrations#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAnthony2007345,_361–367-10) while Proto-Germanic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proto-Germanic) and Proto-Balto-Slavic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proto-Balto-Slavic) may have developed east of the Carpathian mountains, at present-day Ukraine,[10] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-European_migrations#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAnthony2007368,_380-11) moving north and spreading with the Corded Ware culture (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corded_Ware_culture) in Middle Europe (third millennium BCE).[11] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-European_migrations#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMallory1999108,_244–250-12)[12] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-European_migrations#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAnthony2007360-13)[web 2] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-European_migrations#cite_note-Baldia06-14)[13] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-European_migrations#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHaak2015-15)[web 3] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-European_migrations#cite_note-MPG_mass_migration-16)[web 4] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-European_migrations#cite_note-Nature_EC-17) Alternatively, a European branch of Indo-European dialects, termed "North-west Indo-European" and associated with the Beaker culture, may have been ancestral to not only Celtic and Italic, but also to Germanic and Balto-Slavic.[14] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-European_migrations#cite_note-Mallory_(2013)-18)
The Indo-Iranian language (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-Iranian_language) and culture emerged at the Sintashta culture (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sintashta_culture) (c. 2100–1800 BCE), at the eastern border of the Yamna horizon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamna_culture) and the Corded ware culture, growing into the Andronovo culture (c. 1800–800 BCE). Indo-Aryans moved into the Bactria–Margiana Archaeological Complex (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bactria%E2%80%93Margiana_Archaeological_Complex) (c. 2300–1700 BCE) and spread to the Levant (Mitanni (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitanni)), northern India (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_India) (Vedic people (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vedic_people), c. 1500 BCE), and China (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China) (Wusun (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wusun)).[3] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-European_migrations#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBeckwith2009-3) The Iranian languages (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iranian_languages) spread throughout the steppes with the Scyths (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scyths) and into Iran (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran) with the Medes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medes), Parthians (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parthians) and Persians (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persians) from ca. 800 BCE.[3] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-European_migrations#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBeckwith2009-3)

There is no cultural difference between a Trabzon Rum (what we call here) and a Türk from Trabzon, beside the language. The Rum people here in general speak both Turkish and Romeika (as I said earlier, unfortunately, this language is dying. Mostly the older generation is speaking it fluently and some of them don't speak Turkish. There are many words from Romeika which Turks here also use. As I said, there is no cultural difference here between us, because everyone lives by the culture of Trabzon itself.) The only difference could be religion. There are Pontic Greeks outside Trabzon (but who are originally from here) who are Christian, here in Trabzon they are Muslim mostly.

I identify myself as Turkic and Pontic Greek (Rum), that does mean that I have Anatolian Greek ancestry. About the rest of Trabzon, everyone consider them self here Türk, a Turkish citizen at first. Which also is true. Not everyone here is Rum or Turkish/Rum mixed. At the same time, some people could be Turkish/Rum mixed and not knowing it. Which is completely normal. Again it all ends at the reason because of the culture of Trabzon and everybody living by it, you see no difference. Even if you would want to separate people in groups, it would not work for a second here.

So in your personal case, you are considered 'mixed' then. Historically, Greeks from Trabzon were the dominant population? Or was it mixed even back then? Are the Turks which can trace their ancestry hundreds of years in Trabzon, Hellenized Turks? Or would the Pontic Greeks of that area have Turkish ancestry?

From what I understand it was mostly a religious thing, and it would be unlikely a Muslim mix with a Christian for religious, economic, societal reason etc. Unless of course the Christian converted to Islam. Was that the case in Trabzon as well?

Overwhelming majority of Pontic Greeks live in Hellas and they are a Greek ethnicity. So that's more related with Greece than Turkey after all. Just like a thread about Balkan Turks fit better Turkish forum than Bulgaria forum.

Yeah according to you Laz threads belong to Georgian section too. Only Turkics belong to Turkey. Yeah sure. Your secret agenda won't work on here sorry. Your separatist motives are very clear under your thin nationalist cloak that you are hiding in.
