I've always appreciated your work, but I have to correct you this time: you forgot the Salentinian language, which is a Romance idiom spoken in the westernmost part of Apulia ("Salento"), belonging to the branch of the Extreme Southern Italian group. It is not a dialect of the Italian language (even if in Italian it's called "dialetto salentino"), it is its own language, direct discendent of the local Vulgar Latin, under the influence of the Italiot Greek. Indeed, it has been the mothertongue of most of the population of Salento from the 11th century until the second half of the 20th century, when the use of the Italian language became widespread. Nowadays, it is still widely spoken for informal communication. Thus, your map should have shown both of the languages - Italian and Salentinian - since the former was the language of the cultural elite and the latter that of the people.

Starting from the Seljuk period, Turkish became the dominant language in Asia Minor. Starting from the 11th century, Asia Minor began to be called Turchia. In the 13th century, Europeans named the countries extending from Altai to the Danube, including Turkestan, as "Magna Turchia" (Greater Türkiye). Western Traveler Marco Polo referred to Asia Minor as Türkiye. When Arab traveler Ibn Battuta saw that the Turkish population was dense during his trip to Asia Minor in 1331, he named Asia Minor the Land of Türkiye. Those who used to speak Greek now began to speak Turkish. The language spoken in trade centers and marketplaces was Turkish.

[@KartovOndulevitch]

I'm always uncomfortable to make criticism about an author and a work I like very much. But I really think there's a problem in our contemporan view of old history. Old historians always correlated languages with peoples. In that point of view, I think "old Mediterranean substrate" should be called "pelasgian". Secondly, I barely know whay are ionian, doric, aeolic, but "western greek"? "north-western greek"? No idea at all. It absolutely didn't indicate me how that language was named and neither which ethnic group used it. (and that's not an ironical or rhetorical phrase : I really don't know, but I would, because koine came from that group). The last critic is more subjective : I prefer when the music is more mysterious, like in the orgasmic, awesome "east asia" or "Africa"'s videos. (I hope the worship I give to those late videos would make my critics sounding more friendly 😊)

[@CostasMelas]

Thank you for the comment. North-west Greek is actually more archaic Doric, used by Aetolians, Acarnanians, Molossians, Chaonians, Thesprotians and Macedonians and to some extent by the late Achaeans of Peloponnesian Achaea, Locris, Phocis, Dorians of Central Greece Doris, Malis. Koine comes from Ionian/Attic Greek. Its use as official in Macedonia after Archelaus contributed to its spread throughout the Hellenistic world.

Why did the Balkans not become visibly more Greek after Manzikert? One would assume the Turkic take over of Inner Anatolia would set off a large migration wave. Did it not happen?

[@dewd9327]

because Manzikert was not nearly the death blow that its commonly made out to be. Anatolia remained majority Greek until the 1300s

[@fehervari98]

@@dewd9327 Anatolia still got infested by Turkic raiders though. Escaping to the safer and more secure Balkans should have been quite inciting to many.

[@Nestoras_Zogopoulos]

@@fehervari98 I assume the migration ended up bolstering the greek population of the Anatolian coast. I'm also under the impression the Greeks of those coastal areas were richer compared to those of the Balkan side.

[@turkcukayi]

@@fehervari98 Because Asia Minor was not Greek, but indigenous people. With the arrival of the Seljuks, the local population rapidly Turkified, except for those living in remote corners. The language spoken in trade areas and markets changed from Greek to Turkish.

[@GOTZ-pe5vl]

We Greeks are actually descended more from Anatolian and Indo-Eurooean Speakers rather than Mediterranean Substrate speakers and Paleo-Balkan speakers,as our first ancestors. We Greeks came from Anatolia to the Greek Islands and Peninnsulas, rather than the other way around. But us modern Greeks have more Middle Eastern and some Albanian-Balkan Slavic in us now adays than in ancient times. Greeks that are not linguistic minorities do.

[@wankawanka3053]

Greeks along with Armenians are like the only anatolian People who survive to this day hell you can even include the kurds compared to the turks who were newcomers

[@ZekoBeatz]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@VergiliosSpatulas Greeks were good colonizers and they are the reason for the distinction of Anatolian languages like Lydian, Hittite language, Palaic language or Luwian. Look to the map and see the reality, there was no Greek language in Anatolia. By the way just giving a name to a region isnt an indicator that Greeks are descendents of the region. Even genetics prove that, because geneticly Turks are different than Greeks and this not because of the Turkic migration to Anatolia, because that makes only 20 - 30 % of the Turkish gene pool.
