Abstract

The Turkish population of Asia Minor comprised two large ethnic groups, the Oghuz, who were a majority, and the Kıpçaks. The latter received lesser attention from modern scholars, yet their presence is still visible in the local Turkish dialects of Paphlagonia. It seems that sometime from 1242 the province suffered a migration of the Cuman population which came from the Balkans and the Crimea. Contrary to what one might have expected, the traces of the Kıpçak popula-tion that came to Asia Minor from Central Asia were extremely obscure. The new coming Kıpçaks served in the Byzantine army, simultaneously settled on the Seljuk territory across the Byzantine border, and later formed military detachments under the Çobanoğulları.
