But some of Greeks have recently been learning Greek language and culture in 19th century.
It is sad but most of Balkan natives don't speak their original language, except for Romanians who are coping with that modified Latin.
Well many bad things happened to Balkans and Anatolia people survived in completely different form.
My ancestors as well spoke Latin/Greek but are now Slavicized and Turkfied.. they got us defeated and it was expected from them to impose their culture.
However, those new cultures again are heavily modified for example: Ottoman Culture is Greek +Slavic + Turan mix and I am fine with that.
Let's see how Hellenic culture changed for example:
Names:
Crispus, Diocles, Heracles ===> Manuel, Christian, Michael ===> Mehmed, Murat, Sinan
3 stages 3 religions
Hellenic ===> Christian ===> Islamic
you can't pick the one you like cause Greeks have all 3 of course there are universally accepted names like Alexander that even muslims use in Bosnia.
It's just that you are biased against the Islamic people the same way Pagans were biased against Christians.
Well I don't feel threatened by Greece, Serbia, Romania....Well, you can always hope that NATO and the EU shall come to your rescue if enough Bosniaks get sacrificed, I get your point. Nevertheless, don't have any illusions, NATO and the EU did never protect the Palestinians or the Kurds, some day they might ignore the Bosniaks' pleas too...
I never considered Germanic people (EU) European at all...
We have never sold ourselves to Germany and Russia like you Orthodoxes.
You have invited Germans and Russians to attack us for you have no shame.
