Romeyka or the Grecophonic Muslims of Turkey

Romeyka 

It is very interesting to see that there is a variety of Greek that is spoken in a region outside Greece. Romeyka is such a variety, but it is more interesting as it is spoken in modern Turkey. Wikipedia offers a general introduction to this topic here. Ioanna Sitaridou is working on documenting this variety. Here you could read about the linguistic profile of Romeyka: http://www.romeyka.org/the-linguistic-profile-of-romeyka. You could also see the introduction to her interest and work on this project from the Youtube video below. I have also added more videos where you can listen to this variety along with Modern Greek subtitles. If you want more information about this important project you could check its website here: http://www.romeyka.org/the-romeyka-project
