Turkification explained for dummies
Turkifikation of middleage anatolians was caused by the locals chosing islam for to escape islamic taxes and killings and kidnappings and harem rape {what is known as devshirme and jizya and ganime}
I evaluate the turk contribution to 2% brought by turkmens but I must say that modern turkmenistanians cannot represent a proxy for the 11th century Turk invaders since they are essentially and both genetically and culturally Iranians descendend from the iranian tribes of Dahaes and Khwarezmians;please consult:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkmens#Ethnogenesis
Turkic and Iranian origin
Genetic studies on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) restriction polymorphism confirmed that Turkmen were characterized by the presence of local Iranian mtDNA lineages, similar to the Eastern Iranian populations, but high male Mongoloid genetic component observed in Turkmens and Eastern Iranian populations with the frequencies of about 20%.[19] This most likely indicates an ancestral combination of Iranian groups and Turk that the modern Turkmen have inherited and which appears to correspond to the historical record which indicates that various Iranian tribes existed in the region prior to the migration of Turkic tribes who are believed to have merged with the local population and imparted their language
modern turkmenistanians are very different genetically from the 11th century nomadic Turkmen hordes that invaded Anatolya because before the 10th century Turkmen migration into modern day Turkemnistan, the Turkmenistan area was inhabited by the Iranian Khorasanians and Khwarezmians .
as a matter of fact modern Turkmenistanians are the result of 1000 years continued mixing between the natives Iranians and the few newcomer Turkic hordes
thats why Iranian speaking Tajiks and Pushtuns even have more east Asian genetic contribution than Turks of Turkey which means that Altaic Mongoloid east asia genetic contribution has a geographic gradient pattern and not an ethnic one
cultural wise, if we put aside the introduction of turkish no other major real turk culture reached anatolya and even turkish is mostly made of high culture arabic and iranian and french words and rest is primitive turkish words with latin alphabet
so we can say that local anatolyans convert to muslim turk to escape islam taxing raping and killing of infidels and because of subsequent indoctrination these anatolyans think of themselves of turks but their genes are local with less than 5% turk genes which are genes of the invading turk muslims that imposed islam on their ancestors by violence taxing rape and killings but at the same time the turk cultural contribition to anatolya is next to nothing as a matter of fact turk mosques are imitations of much more older iranian and byzantine buildings and churches
some historical accounts on turkifikation of anatolya
