Pontic Greek

Pontic Greek is an endangered Indo-European language spoken by about 324,000 people worldwide. Although it is mainly spoken in Northern Greece, it is also spoken in Turkey, Russia, Armenia, and by the Pontic diaspora. The language was brought to Greece in the 1920s after the expulsion of the Pontic from their homeland during the 1923 population exchange. Pontic Greek is often considered a dialect of standard Greek, although reportedly, the speakers of each do not understand each other. It is primarily written in the Greek script.
