  As a Capaddocian Greek I congratulate you for your work and thank you! In my village (Cappadocian majority) very few people speak the language and it's up to a certain extent. I'm studying history at the university in hopes that I will be able to save what is already in danger. Çok sağol komşu, mutlu yaz!

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccd0IT9ms_Q&amp;t=583">9:43</a> We call Greeks of Anatolia Rum(Roman) so she calls Greek language as Rumca.

  The last phrase in Ubykh makes me deeply sad. Language death is just as painful as losing a loved one.<br>Thank you, mister Esenç for giving us a legacy as precious as the Ubykh language. We will try to preserve it&apos;s beauty for as long as we can.

  at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccd0IT9ms_Q&amp;t=482">8:02</a> , both inscriptions read: &nbsp;&quot;Sahib-ül hayrat / İçenlere afiyet / Yaptırana rahmet&quot;,<br>which means &quot;Owner of the fountain (wishes) / Bon appetit for those who drink / (and wishes) Mercy (from God) for the one who built (this fountain)&quot;<br><br>A long while ago I had taught myself how to read Ottoman Turkish and the Greek alphabet as a hobby.<br>I&apos;m quite happy that my useless skills came in handy at last! :D

  Lots of love from 🇬🇷. No matter how much history and religion tries to separate us, blood makes us one!

  Unfortunately, this world; it is very sad that all the world&apos;s traditions, cultures, dirty wars (due to bloodthirsty people) have disappeared or are about to disappear from the world heritage. Trying to make people enemies of each other, imposing that they are different from each other, which in essence everyone is the same. peace at home, peace in the world ...
