    It can be regarded as a minority, I suppose. I was only speaking Thracian Turkish and Pomak in Western Thrace and couldn't even continue my education there in high school because I was not advanced in Greek.

    I learned to speak Istanbul Turkish which is a general Turkish accent used in Turkey afterward.

    So once and for all, you made me sure (?) that you're not half-Slovak all in all.

    Yes and no. I usually speak regular Turkish (Istanbul dialect) but sometimes, especially when I go to village, I start speaking Aegean dialect of Turkish.
