"From Katpatuka to Ionanistan: The Rise, Demise and Reawakening of
Cappadocian Greek"
Followed by the documentary "Last Words" (seriousFilm, 2014)
Cappadocian (Asia Minor Greek) is a Greek-Turkish mixed language spoken in
Cappadocia (Central Turkey) until the population exchange between Greece
and Turkey in the 1920s. Cappadocian speakers were forced to emigrate to
Greece, where they were resettled in various locations, especially in
Central and Northern Greece. The Cappadocians rapidly shifted to Standard
Modern Greek and/or regional varieties thereof and their language was
thought to be extinct since the 1970s (*Ethnologue*, 15th edition, 2005).
In June 2005, Mark Janse (Ghent University) and Dimitris Papazachariou
(University of Patras) discovered Cappadocians in Central and Northern
Greece who could still speak their native language. Amongst them are
middle-aged, third-generation speakers who take a very positive attitude
towards the language as opposed to their parents and and grandparents. The
latter are much less (if at all) inclined to speak Cappadocian and normally
switch to Greek and/or Turkish in their conversations. In his lecture,
Professor Janse will relate the linguistic history of Cappadocia and the
fascinating story of his search und ultimately discovery of the lost
Cappadocian language. The lecture will be followed by the documentary film
‘Last Words’.
Mark Janse (is BOF-ZAP Research Professor in Ancient & Asia Minor Greek at
Ghent University and Associate in Greek Linguistics at Harvard’s Center for
Hellenic Studies. (mark.janse(a)ugent.be)
