Karamanlides
Okay, so imagine that there are different ways to write words depending on the language you're using. Just like how we write words in English, other languages like Spanish, French, or Russian also have their own way of writing words.
One of these languages is called Turkish, and people who speak it have a different way of writing words than we do in English. However, there was a group of people who spoke Turkish but also wrote their words using a mix of Greek letters and Turkish language.
These people were called Karamanlides. They lived in different parts of what is now Turkey, but their language and writing system was unique to them. They used a type of writing called "Greek-Turkish script" or "Karmanlides script" that combined Greek and Turkish letters to create their own words.
The Karamanlides were a minority group but had their own culture, traditions, and language. They wrote books, poetry, and even the Bible in their own writing system. However, over time, their language and writing system started to disappear as more people adopted the standard Turkish language and writing system.
Today, there are still some Karamanlides and descendants of Karamanlides who continue to study and preserve their language and writing system. It's an interesting example of how different cultures can have their own way of communicating and expressing themselves through language.
