Bu yaz?n?n fikir haklar? Surmene Kaymakam? Eyup Sabri Kartal'a ait olup Kaynak gosterilmeden al?nt?lanamaz.

?

Urumeli tabiri malumdur ki Rumeli icin kullan?l?r.

?

Urumeli veya Rumeli neden denir?

?

Malum bizim oranan?n agalar? Rumeli diyemez. Urumeli derler. Iramazan gibi. Bu turkce dil kaidelerine tam mutabakattan boyledir.

?

Peki biz Urumeli veya Rumeli derken ;

?

Neden Yunanl?lar, Bulgarlar, S?rplar,??Ruslar hatta Avrupa dahil tum dunya Urumeli veya Rumeli demezler?

?

Oncelikle Osmanl? oncesi Urumelimizde Turklerin varl?g? bizans kay?tlar? dahil her yerde bulunabilir.

?

Balkan kelimesinin etimolojisinin oz turkce oldugu malumdur.

?

Cunku bizim bir k?sm?m?z? Malazgirt savas?yla f?Anadolu ethedilmeden oncede oralardayd?k.

?

Hatta Uzlar(Oguzlar) ta 750 li y?llarda Vardar k?y?lar?nda idi, Uzlar , Pecenekler, Kumanlar(K?r?m bolgesinde idiler)?bizans ordusunda savas?rd?.

?

Ta ki Malazgirt? Harbine kadar.

?

Savasta Uzlar pecenekler Alparslan?n saf?na gecti.

?

Neden Alparslan?n saf?na gectiler.

?

Cunku bakt?lar ki Bizansl?lar?n savast?rd?klar? Turkce konusur, onlarda?toptan ?Turk ordular?n?n saflar?na gectiler. Klasik bizans oyunu boyledir iste.Turku turke vurdurur.

?

Evet , Eger Urumeliler olmasayd??Anadolu? asla Turk ve musluman olamazd?.

?

?

Simdi Urum ve Rum kavram?n?n turevlerini izleyelim.?

?

Acaba Urum rum demek mi? Rum bizans demek mi? Yoksa rum yunan (ionian) demek mi?

?

Bence rum laf? cok eski.

?

Hatta ilber Ortayl? der ki Osmanl? padisahlar? kendilerini rum padisah? olarak gorurlerdi.

    [edit] History of the city

    Two thousand years ago Urumqi was an important town on the northern route of the Silk Road, a vast network of trade routes that also facilitated cultural exchanges throughout Eurasia. During the 22nd year of Emperor Zhenguan's reign in the Tang Dynasty, 648 A.D., the Tang government set up the town of Luntai in the ancient town seat of Urabo, 10 kilometers from the southern suburb of present-day Urumqi. The Ancient Luntai Town was a seat of local government, and collected taxes from the caravans along the northern route of the Silk Road. During the Qing Dynasty (1763 A.D.) Emperor Qianlong named the expanded town of Luntai "Dihua" (pinyin: Dihua; Manchu: Wen de dahabure fu), meaning "to enlighten." In 1884, Emperor Guang Xu established Xinjiang as a Province, with Di Hua as its capital. Following the founding of the People's Republic of China, on February 1, 1954, the city was renamed Urumqi, meaning " beautiful pasture" in the Mongolian language of the Junggar tribe.

    Urumqi has one county and seven districts (Urumqi county, Tianshan District, Sharyibark District, Toutunhe District, Shuimogou District, Xinshi District, Dongshan District, and Nanshan Mine District) under its jurisdiction.

The largest city in the western half of China, Urumqi has won a place in the Guinness Book of Records as the most remote city from any sea in the world at a distance of about 1,400 miles (2500 km) from the nearest coastline (Urumqi being the city closest to the Eurasian Pole of Inaccessibility). The city has an area of 10,989 km?.

    History

    v???d???e

    Urums, singular Urum IPA: [u'rum] (Greek: ?????? Urum, Turkish: Urum, Crimean Tatar: Urum) is a broad historical term that was used by some Turkic-speaking peoples (Turks, Crimean Tatars) to define Greeks who lived in Muslim states, particularly in the Ottoman Empire and Crimea. In contemporary ethnography, the term Urum (or Urum Greek) applies only to Turkic-speaking Greek population.

    Contents

    [hide]

    [edit] Ethnonym

    The term Urum is derived from the Arabic word ?????? (rum), meaning Roman and subsequently Byzantine (Eastern Roman) and Greek (see: Rum). Since words beginning in [r] were not typical for Turkic languages, earlier speakers would add an extra vowel in order to facilitate the pronunciation. In modern Turkish, the Urum spelling, despite being still used by some, is considered obsolete and is replaced by the spelling Rum.

    The term is presently used by the following sub-ethnic groups of Greeks as a way of ethnic self-identification:

    [edit] North Azovian Urums

    Historically Greeks of Crimea (and later of the adjacent Azovian region; present-day Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine) were represented by two groups: the Hellenic-speaking Romaioi and the Turkic-speaking Urums (also called Graeco-Tatars). Both groups populated the region for many centuries (they consisted of both the descendants of the 4th century BC ? 4th century AD colonizers and those who immigrated from Anatolia at various times), however the latter underwent social and cultural processes, which led to them adopting Crimean Tatar as a mother tongue. In 1777, after the annexation of Crimea by Russia, Catherine the Great ordered all Greeks from the peninsula to settle in North Azov, and they have been known as the North Azovian Greeks (??????????? ????? ? priazovskie greki) henceforth. Some linguists believe that the dialect spoken by the North Azovian Urums differs from the common Crimean Tatar language on a more than just dialectical level and therefore constitutes a separate language unit within the Kypchak language sub-group (see: Urum language).

    Urums practice Eastern Orthodox Christianity. Throughout history, they represented an isolated cultural group and rarely settled in towns populated by the Romaioi, despite sharing Greek heritage with them.[1] Unlike Greek, Urum has never been a language of secondary education in Ukraine. Turkologist Nikolai Baskakov estimated that by 1969, 60,000 people spoke Urum as a native language. According to the All-Ukrainian Population Census of 2001, only 112 of the Donetsk Oblast's 77,516 Greeks listed languages other than Greek, Ukrainian and Russian as their mother tongue.[2]

    [edit] Tsalka Urums

    Very little is known about this sub-ethnic group. They are sometimes referred to as the Trialeti Greeks or the Transcaucasian Turcophone Greeks. Pontian Greeks call them ???????????? (Tsalkalideis); a name that refers to the Georgian town, where Urums once made up the largest ethnic community.

    From the 18th to the early 20th century the Caucasus experienced mass migrations of Greeks from the Ottoman Empire, mainly from the region of Pontus. Many Pontian Greeks spoke Turkish either as part of their Greek-Turkish bilingua, or as a mother tongue due to linguistic assimilation processes that isolated groups of the Anatolian Greeks were exposed to. According to Andrei Popov, throughout the 19th century hundreds of Turkish-speaking Greek Orthodox families from Erzurum, Gumushane and Artvin moved to Southern Russia and settled on the Tsalka plateau, in present-day Georgia.[3] During the Soviet era they populated over 20 villages in Georgia's Tsalka, Dmanisi, Tetritsq'aro, Marneuli, and Akhaltsikhe regions. In 1926, there were 24,000 Greeks living in Tiflis and the neighbouring area with 20,000 of them being Turcophone.[4]

    The dialect spoken by the Tsalka Urums is similar to many other Central Anatolian dialects of Turkish. However some linguists, like Nikolai Baksakov, classify it as a separate Oghuz language due to differences in phonetics, vocabulary and grammar.[5] Present-day Urum Turkish is also thought by some to be phonetically closer to Azeri than to the literary Turkish, which leads them to believe that it is rather a dialect of Azeri.[6] Late Soviet censuses also showed Azeri as the mother tongue of the Tsalka Urums, however this may have been done simply due to the Soviets' somewhat unfavourable attitude towards Turkish culture. No secondary education in Urum Turkish has been available; its speakers attend schools where subjects are taught in Russian or Azeri.

    The Tsalka Urums themselves call their language bizimce (Turkish for our language / talk). With the popularization of the Russian language, many experienced linguistic assimilation and adapted to Russian. Also starting from the 1980s, some sense of a cultural revival has been observed among the Turcophone Greeks. Historian Airat Aklaev's research showed that 36% of them considered Greek their mother tongue despite their lack of knowledge of that language. 96% expressed their desire to learn Greek.[7]

    In comparison with the Hellenophone Greeks of Georgia, the Tsalka Urums were less exposed to emigration after the fall of the Soviet Union, hence nowadays they constitute the majority of the country's Greek population. Nevertheless some migration did take place, which is why Greeks are no longer the largest ethnic group in Tsalka. Between 1989 and 2002 their numbers within the region went down from 35,000 to 3,000. Many emigrated to Greece and to the Krasnodar Krai, Russia (cities of Krasnodar, Abinsk, Sochi, and Gelendzhik).
