Should we consider the extinction of the Anatolian languages and their artifical replacement by Greek as one of the earliest documented cultural genocides?
Probably? Its just that no ancient anatolians exist today (the blood is obviously there in turks and greeks but the identity is dead) but even if you did nothing would happen and greece would beg daddy eu to sanction whoever proposed this
>>18455285It would be a genocide if it's done intentionally, by the state, by the institutions with a clear goal. But language shifts can also happen in a more organic ways, gradually over the course of generations. I think this is more likely when it comes to Ancient Anatolian languages.
>>18455285You tell me
>>18455292You believe that people NATURALLY forget their native language?
>>18455400Yes? I am Peruvian, on my nation we have indigenous populations that speak ancestral indigenous languages, but their kids and grandkids don't know a single fucking word in their native tongues, they all speak Spanish or english and nobody is forcing them to learn Spanish, they simply choose to do so. They could live perfectly happy in their tribes speaking ancestral languages but they decide that they would rather learn Spanish and have a chance at fucking Peruvian white women.
>>18455400Over the course of generations, people might start using a non-native language progressively more and more over their native language if it gives them more opportunities, privilege, status etc. to the point were eventually everyone would speak the new language and only remnants are left of the original one.It has happened countless of times throughout history.
>>18455400The language we are using right now comes from a country where that exact thing happened.
>>18455285>by GreekArmenian was an Anatolian language too before Turks killed every armenian in their borders
>>18455285You do realize that Turkish assimilation of Anatolians can be considered "cultural genocide" by the same metric, right?
>>18455436Turks killed as many minorities as they could, completely different.
>>18455439Don't believe they did that in the early Seljuk days when the region was first Turkified.
>>18455446before their invasion, anatolia had 22 million peopleafter a couple of years, only 8 million remained

I have just arrived in Anatolia. I'd like to marry your women and you can marry our women too as long as you are a Muslim."Anatolian: "Okay"Not the same thing at all.Not the same thing at all.

>>18455458>Greeks: "I'll ban your language, I'll ban your religion, and I'll ban your culture. If you resist, I'll kill your entire village"That's what modern Greeks did, we've got no evidence it also happened 2000 ago.
>>18455458> "I'll ban your language, I'll ban your religion, and I'll ban your culture. If you resist, I'll kill your entire village"What Greeks, Assyrians and Armenians heard during the early 20th century when Muslims were massacring everyone.
>>18455469>That's what modern Greeks didnobody cries about the massacred french colonisers when the Haitians massacred them
>>18455458I've seen some truly retarded posts recently. The sort of stuff you'd expect from a melanistic lobotomite. But I have to congratulate you on surpassing them all.

>>18455471They were the one starting the massacres of Turks at the orders of Russians, French, Anglos. They started shit and lost in the end too.
>>18455285No because they were already rendered extinct by the Phrygians, who were not "Anatolian" but relatives of the Greeks.
>>18455458>>18455549Op is a faggot and this should end the thread.
>>18455285The Phrygian language is very close to Greek.

>>18455458>Turks: "Hi. I have just arrived in Anatolia. I'd like to marry your women and you can marry our women too as long as you are a Muslim."Marauding Seljuks Turks burned and pillaged many of the major Anatolian population centers to the ground.
