Jason and the argot: land where Greek's ancient language survives - History, Life & Style - The Independent
These people live in what's now Turkey but is also ancient Pontus. Their dialect appears to be a very close cousin of ancient Greek, much closer than modern Greek. It is called Romeyka, and they live near Trabzon (Trabizond?). There are some other links to info on this subject, but it appears I have to make separate entries for them. Stay tuned.
