Abstract
The Balkans are the region where different ethnic elements live together. In the wake of the 19th century, there were political and cultural turbulences and new states were attempted to be established. Due to the turmoil, the Turkish and Muslim peoples living here had to migrate to safer regions. One of these migrating peoples were the Pomaks, and they migrated to Turkey from different regions starting with the 1877-1878 Ottoman-Russian War. The settlement sites where Pomaks live in Bursa are Osmangazi Demirtaş, a part of Nilüfer Görükle, Kestel Şevketiye Village, Gürsu center, Mudanya Dereköy, Gemlik center and Şahinyurdu Village, İnegöl Kıranköy, Town of Cerrah, Orhaniye Yenisölöz, and Balabanlar, the central District of Karacabey. Together with the ongoing immigrations, Bursa became a city with a rich cultural and dialect diversity where local people and immigrants lived together. The Pomaks who have come to Anatolia and Bursa are bilingual peoples who speak both Pomak and Turkish. This study will attempt to reveal general morphology and phonetic knowledge of the Bursa Pomak dialect.
