YES...THEY DO SPEAK THE ANCIENT GREEK LANGUAGE

YES...THEY DO SPEAK THE ANCIENT GREEK LANGUAGE

THOSE ARE THE DORIAN GREEKS WHO CHOSE TO STAY THERE, IN THESE ANCIENT GREEK VILLAGES / TOWNS, AFTER THE TURKISH INVASION

THESE DORIAN GREEKS ARE PRESENTLY CALLED PONTIAN GREEKS BECAUSE THE NAME OF THE REGION HAD CHANGED TO PONTOS

AS PREVIOUSLY NOTED, BOTH SIDES OF MY FAMILY CAME FROM THE ANCIENT GREEK CITY OF TRABZON, WHICH IS PRESENTLY UNDER TURKISH OCCUPATION AND CONTROL. THEY ESCAPED THE TURKISH INVASION AND TORTURES BY GOING TO RUSSIA.

AFTER STAYING IN RUSSIA FOR SEVERAL YEARS, THEY RETURNED TO THE MAIN LAND OF GREECE IN THE MACEDONIA REGION / STATE. THIS IS WHERE MY PARENTS MET AND WHERE I WAS BORN.

BOTH SIDES OF MY FAMILY SPOKE THE ANCIENT GREEK LANGUAGE AT HOME. AS A RESULT, I LEARNED TO SPEAK THE ANCIENT GREEK LANGUAGE TOO.
