Oh okay! That's interesting. I imagined they were mostly being exchanged on religion basis rather than ethnicity.

@@General.Knowledge yes that's exactly how population exchanges happened on those days. Resulting in Turkophone Orthodox Greeks and Grecophone Muslim Turks. Religion superceded Nationality in those days. When Nation-States crystallized in the Balkans then the opposite was true. This would remain so until the 1955 Pogrom.

@@General.KnowledgeThracian Muslims were allowed to remain in Greece and Thracian orthodox Greeks were (supposed to be) allowed to stay in Turkey. These were special exceptions to the population exchange. Of course that’s not exactly how it played out for Christians in Turkey.

​@@alexhousakos the% of the Greek Orthodoxs who spoke Turkish and moved to Greece is literally the 0,5 of the overall Greeks of Asia Minor...mostly from Cappadocia....while Pontic Greeks and western Anatolian Greeks were overwhelming Greek speaking. The way you stated your post gives a totally wrong reality.

​@@General.Knowledge Religion was your ethnicity in the periods before the 19th century. That was the case almost everywhere not just in the Ottoman Empire. You were first what was your religion/culture and then your language or a specific idea of ethnicity as we know it today. We just today we can't understand this anymore. That was the case in Russia, England, Germany etc (but with different undertones and characteristics). So, in the Balkans/anatolia you had people that had their own ancient churches as the Greeks which had the Greek church (the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople), the Bulgarians their own, serbs their own, Armenians their own etc Even if the Christian Orthodoxs in the Balkans had to desolve their own churches under the ottomans and to belong all under the Greek Church (the Ecumenical Patriarchate), still the memory, scripts, traditions remained thus they remained as separate identities. Other Christians in the Balkans became Catholics centuries before, as the Croats so they also remained a separate people... While the people that converted to islam, as the albanians or the bosnians had to really "prove" that they are not "Turks" later when they demanded a separate state breaking from the Ottoman Empire, since with the centuries old understanding of the people your religion and culture is what you are. Only after the 19th-early 20th century we have the beginning of what we know today as ethnicity in terms we today understand.

Hey there, I’m French and also studying linguistics, I might help you understand: There are two main reasons that make this fact happen, immigration and language policies. To cut it short, in France, many other languages use to exist and be strong (Alsacien, Breton, Basque…) but due to political reasons, only French was given priority and nowadays, it’s not even allowed to name your child with names that are in those languages orthography (the ñ for example is banned). Then, historically, France has a lots of links with north Africa and more precisely Algeria. You have colonisation of course and this continued into a lot of immigrants moving to France to work. Those links remains strong as of today and that’s why France has so many Arabic speaker, although its most likely that those are what we call « heritage » speakers. This means that it’s the language of their origins, that they can understand mostly but not really speak.

​@@Baguette2PainCool

@@Baguette2Pain How come in France the ñ is banned but the ç isn't? both are of Iberian origin after all.

@@BN.ja05 So, ç is used a lot in French official orthography like in the word « it »: « ça » to make the sound /s/. Historically, there’s a reason that is not a borrowing but more of an invention at the same time as some other languages. However ñ isn’t used by this orthography, thus is not accepted.

@@Baguette2Pain I guess is great that the current mayor of Paris does not have an ñ in any part of her name.

Thats just plain wrong. Muslim population in Serbian and Montenegrin Sandžak, both Slavic and Albanian, survived because they were able to frustrate every attempt to expel them.

Definitely, I feel the same way. I grew up learning it was just a small piece of land that decided to break away from Serbia in the midst of the mess that was the collapse of Yugoslavia. As you look into it you understand how much of a historical background they have.

Westeners dont really know our story. Even when whole balcan peninsula was under otoman rule Montenegro wasnt. Our people lived hard life high in the mountains 1000m+ above sea level to avoid ottomans and preserve christianity and freedom. Even if Ottomans came they had hard time fighting us on our land. They lost many battles with unexpectedly high loses because our country is very rocky, mountainous with deep canyons and few valleys therefore very impractical for conqering. Ottomans managed tu burn down our capital Cetinje but thats about it, even when Montenegro was de facto part of the Ottoman empire we were free of tax 'harač' and never gave our children to become janichars. Montenegro was beacon of freedome and hope for liberation and unification of all serbs or southern slavs; Montenegro gave Serbia Karadjordje and whole royal dynasty Karadjordjevic is of montenegrin origin, father of Nemanjic dinasty Stefan Nemanja is born in Montenegro, Novak Djokovic, Bogdan Bogdanovic, even Slobodan Milosevic, all from Montenegrin fathers. The thing is montenegrins and serbs are indeed one people but we montenegrins are a bit tougher 💪😅

Green was prophet Muhammad saw Favorite color

The color of Islam is sometimes green like the green bandanas of Hamas and shawls of 12 Imami shias, who are all fake and Zionists. Green shawls is what the followers of Dajjal wear as the prophet said in a prophecy. But it is often the darkness and the moon and silver associated with Islam since it is controlled by Kabbalists and Satanists. That is why the symbol of Islam is a moon as in the Kabbalah it is associated with "evil" angel Gabriel while the Sun is behind fake Jesus in church paintings, and also that is why the fake scholars say it is forbidden to wear gold but ok to wear silver and everything beautiful and joyful is "harram" or forbidden like art such as music, paintings, statues, etc, even tho in Eslaum we know people around the prophet had toys with animal faces, in the Goraun prophet Esa made bird shapes out of clay, prophet Suleiman build statues....so it is the crypto-Jews fake Mosslems who invented this for Islam because in their religion they hate Jesus and Suleiman or Solomon who they say became a disbeliever. Colors of real Eslaum is the rainbow which the Zionists today associate with children because in the heart children feel the goodness of rainbow and then instead to say Eslaum originally is the nation of rainbow they associated the rainbow with homosexuality and other sexual perversions and created Islam of darkness and frustration. This is why Saudis and Ayatolahs wear Jewish dresses and have black uniforms, especially Ayatollahs, because it says in the Talmud that if a Jew wants to spread evil he must move to a place where people dont know him well and wear black with a black hat, as did Khomeini who flew in from France, and thats why the women in Saudi wear black Jewish hijabs to associate it with darkness and depression and grief and frustration, because the Saudi Kingdom and gov of Iran are Yahudis or Kabbalist Jews. Thats why you have beliefs and laws and accusations on the media that Islam teaches killing apostates, rape, targeting civilians, no painting of creatures, circumcision for male babies and kids( often the media complains only about female genital mutilation because in Judaism mutilation is only for males as in the Kabbalah God is female...also that is why in the west a woman gets everything after the divorce, man has to give house, children, money, car, give more money etc because of Kabbalah), God ordering Abraham to slaughter his son....because it is Judaism and the media associates to Mosslems what the Jews believe and actually target those of Mosslems who oppose Jewish infiltration and call them "terrorists" while Saudi, Iran, Erdogan, etc are all allies of the Zionists and are Zionists themselves but are shown on TV as the moderates or good allies or the only real Islam state fighting Zionists whle in reality when USA invaded Irak, Iran helped USA to invade, and after they massacred the people USA gave entire Irak to the Iran, even one of their actors, Trump, admitted it during the TV show debates for fake elections show, only he said it was a "mistake" lol.
