Fascinating how Anatolia went from such a diverse place to being dominated by Greeks and a few centuries later by Turks. Thank you for the video!

This format in smaller regions is amazing. Would love to see a history of languages in Iberia

[jaykaufman]

Thank you so much! Your channel is one of the staples of YouTube and justify that platform's very existence.

Great work! Kalašma language which belonged to the Anatolian was discovered only this year and it’s amazing!

Excellent job snowing the Orontes watershed Hellenize in the 3rd century BCE. Seleucid settlement programs are critically overlooked imo

[facoulac]

Splendid video! I was hoping so much for an Anatolia-focused video!

[Matthew_]

I didn't expect it but really wanted to see that topic. Thank you for your work!

[darthvader]

Probably our ancestors used to talk all of these languages, I say this as a Turkish. I believe that we are mix of native Anatolians and Turkics

[flyingfoamtv]

much more accurate then your earlier history of turkic languages video. i hope you do one like this with iran.

[احمدالمطلق-عخ]

You are truly amazing and your channel is beautiful and unique

This is impressive, as usual! Thanks for making these videos! By the way, I am not sure if you heard about it, but a new Indo-European language has been discovered very recently: the Kalašma language!
Experts classify it as a Luwic language inside the Anatolian branch, but considering the location in which it was first attested, I am afraid that it may be a relative of the Palaic language! Or maybe the Kaskians didn't wipe out the population of Pala after all and Palaic language evolved into Kalašma language... 🤔
Who knows, perhaps we are about to solve the mystery of what actually happened to Pala...

2:50 il never fail to find it wild how some Celts settled and made a language in Anatolia. Those are the Galatians for you

[lintrigant]

Such an excellent work, as always. Just a very little remark : I think « mediterranean substrate » is specifically a north-eastern one. But each of your work is a pleasure to watch - even such a tragic one like this. Keep on please !

[EduNauta]

Super cool video, although I would have liked to see the different language groups such as indoeuropeans etc color coded to grasp a bit easier what is going on

[Uneducatedopinion]

Excellent work friend ! Kudos to all the hard work needed to make such an informative video !!!

[turkcukayi]

Today, Turks who research know that their ancestry is a mixture of indigenous Asia Minor peoples and Turks. For example, tribes such as the Pala, Paphlagones, Phrygians and Hittites lived in my city, Kastamonu.

Why does some regions of Gaziantep are marked with disputed color between Kurds and Turks, and even some regions of it being Kurdish-speaking majority? Almost all of the population of Gaziantep are Turks expect Nizip province where mostly Kurds reside.

Hello costas, great video but there are a few mistakes. I am from Trabzon and my village and about 40 villages throughout Trabzon speak Greek (Pontic Greek). Each village has a population of 500. If you want, I can give you a link to the maps. You can color those areas blue

Thanks and congratulations for this comprehensive time-lapse.

Turkish nationalists got crazy :D Turks have a rich and fascinating history already, but they prefer deny or try to delete the existences of others’ ones (Greeks and other Balkan peoples have same complex, not gonna lie, I can’t blame Turks for everything).

A neutral and scientific education about history is very important for every nation.
