Description:
Yuvalandum or Yuvarlandım (Greek: Γιουβαλάντουμ) is a folk dance from the region of Akdağmadeni (Greek: Ακ Νταγ Ματέν) in the Yozgat Province of Central Anatolia, popular among several Turkic peoples. Since the city had a partially Greek population until the population exchange between Greece and Turkey (1922-1923), the dance was also danced among the Asia Minor Greeks (Pontic Greeks, Karamanlides, Cappadocians), even if there is no text version in Greek. The name of the dance derives from the Turkish verb yuvalanmak "to get married, to settle down" what could be interpreted as "to roll, to turn over and over, to fall down" in Northeast and Central Anatolia. Antonis Papadopoulos, a good speaker of Pontic Greek and player of the Pontic lyra (kementze/kemence) with origins from Maçka (Greek: Matsuka) and Gümüșhane (Greek: Argyroupoli) is explaining how the dance was performed by the elder generation who came to Greece as refugees.

as a young turkish speaker i can fully understand what he sang. vulgar turkish didn't change even a little bit.

[@ozkanarslan9825]

The dance he describes is mainly from the Region Giresun Espiye, this horan is called „köroglu sallamasi“ Here is an example kzbin.info/www/bejne/n364g6yOa8mpm7M

[@georgekech4903]

I think it's from Sebin Karahisar (Garasari or Nikopoli in Pontic Greek). That region south of Giresun used to have many Greek villages. The sound of the song is like of south of Giresun, similar to the music of Sivas and Erzican.

Valla ben çocukken eskiler konuşmalarında çok yerel kelimeler vardı heralde rumca idi, haala bazı büyükler işini bozma derken, aboskol i ni, bozma der!! Eskiden bide soba peşko dedikleri aklımda, başka bişe hatırlamıyorum.

From what I know the ottomans gave the people of Asia Minor the choice of either keeping their Greek language or their orthodox religion . The Cappadocians kept their religion and invented a smart way of also keeping their language by speaking Greek in a way that sounded 'trukish'. The Cappadocians also kept their millennia old Greek alephabet as you can see in the video that follows. The Gagauz and the Chalka also kept their orthodox religion but lost their language. If you know better please reply and I will check for my sources and probably come up with more details. 'Yuvarlandım'' (Ortodoks Karaman Türküsü) kzbin.info/www/bejne/fajHfK2FqbF8fKs

That is not true; religious communities had their own jurisdiction they were free to speak their languages and practice their religion: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millet_(Ottoman_Empire)

@@EnginAtik until 1839 any christian could be hanged without trial . Until 1839 any ottoman officer could kill any christian. The situation became better for the christian populations in 1839 with some laws (hatt-ı serif ) and (hatt-ı hümayun) of 1856.

@@Paraglidecrete Osmanli was an absolute monarchy. The king had the power to condemn anybody to death. “Kanun name” and “Kanun‐i Osmani” are the set of secular laws that were followed since 1444. Mongol and Turkish states always had secular laws.
