tea culture is quite new for laz people since it was never grown here until after turkish republic was formed. culture is more about cooperation and it is called meci. whole village comes together and do work such as harvesting, sorting corn and hazelnut and other village work.

Wrong, this language isn't influenced by Turkish or Arabic, nor are other Kartvelian languages influenced by them, only some borrowed words and vice versa (Trust me there's more Georgian words in Turkish than you'd think) Modern Laz is influenced by Turkish only in terms of pronunciation, they started to soften the rough consonants. here it's actually quite good Laz, probably Xopa Lazuri dialect, which is closer to Georgian both in words and pronunciation and have the original language better kept.
im greek of pontos trabzon (karadeniz - black sea) the traditional costume its from laz people ! after the ottomans saying with the insistence that you would all wear this costume, we call it Zipka and many peoples who lived on the Pontus wore it, when the catastrophe happened in 1922, we Greeks of Pontus were killed and expelled. we brought it here to mother Greece and from the photographs of our grandparents we also dress in this way and our traditions and dances. why am I saying this now? many confuse us with the Laz they are different from us they spoke differently, they spoke a Caucasian dialect we speak Rumca dialect. (Romeyka) women dress differently. we just lived together then, I believe.
True. However pontic dances are a different story and have influenced other locals in the region. Horon for example isnt laz, it descends from the pyrrhic dance originally created in western Crete. Obviously there are some caucasian influences in the dance as well.
The Ottomans fought for three centuries to destroy the Christian-Georgian consciousness of the Laz people.[29] Due to the Ottoman Islamization policy, throughout of seventeenth century Lazs gradually converted to Islam. As the Ottomans consolidated their rule, the Millet system was brought to the newly conquered territories. Local orthodox inhabitants, once subordinated to the Georgian Orthodox Church, had to obey Patriarchate of Constantinople,[30] thus gradually becoming Greeks, the process known as Hellenization of Laz people.[30] Lazs who were under the control of Constantinople, soon lost their language and self-identity as they became Greeks and learned Greek,[31] especially Pontic dialect of Greek language, although native language was preserved by Lazs who had become Muslims. In the middle of the seventeen century, several governors of Tunis, who bore the title of Dey were Laz origin, such as: Muhammad Laz (1647-1653), Mustafa Laz (1653-1665) and Ali Laz (1673).

This silly debate over the linguistic naming should be over. English and Swedish are Germanic languages but it doesn't mean English and Swedes are Germans. Likewise, Georgian and Laz are part of Kartvelian languages but doesn't necessarily mean Laz and Georgians are the same. If you're Laz and don't identify yourself as a Georgian, that's fine, you don't need to argue with language classification. Truth be told, Laz never really participated in the process of forming Georgian nation so I'm not surprised Laz in Turkey oppose any alignments with Georgians because of their own idea or Turkish political influences. You can't force someone be something if they don't want to, that's the bottom line. Just mind your own identity, local problems of assimilation and respect linguists who do their job instead of diving deep into this socio-political nonsense.
Wrong, Lazs of Xopa were always in Georgia and even Iberia. Since time of Tao klarjeti, Xopa was always in our borders. You could say that about Rize, but even they many times were in our borders.
@@GiorgiGachechiladze02 what do you mean when you say “our borders”? All the coasts ‘till the city of Poti was conquered by Ottomans in 17th century. So, how do you claim that Rize lazs and Hopa lazs are linguistically separated?
@@ozanbayrak562 not linguistically but by dialects. since end of 17th century yes coasts till Poti was controlled by Ottomans, but before it was controlled by Georgia, also in 18th century Imereti started liberating territories and started by Kutaisi, but I'm not talking about that. I mean before like 300 years ago, Xopa was always in Georgia, even when there was Trebizond empire (which was also created by Georgia and under influence of Georgian kings) , Byzantine empire and so on, Xopa was always in borders of Georgia, unlike Rize which was played between the Greek and Georgians at different periods of time. While for the last time Xopa was in Artvin region of Adjara autonomic republic of Georgia in 1918-1921. What I'm saying is that historically while Lazs of Rize or even Trabzon in Kaldea were kinda outside Georgia like Austria is for Germany, Lazs of Xopa were always Georgian Lazs. even phonetically and by common words Xopuri dialect of Laz is closer to Georgian than for example Atinuri dialect and that is also why Xopuri dialect is more similar to Megrelian language also.
What? Don't speak what you don't know. Georgians are descendants of the two Kartvelian kingdoms of Colchis and Iberia. The Georgian nation was created by the union of these two Kartvelian state.
Laz are Georgian (Kartvelian) subgroup. Beutiful people with beautiful history, culture and language. After Ottoman (Turkish) invasion they were forcefully converted to Islam and are now almost completely assimilated to them.
Alt grup mu... hahahahhh.. bana göre de Gürcüler Lazların alt koludur. Ayrıca madem Osmanlı Devleti Lazları zorla Müslüman yaptı, 100 kilometre ilerdeki Trabzonluları neden Hristiyan bıraktılar? Lazlara garezleri mi vardı?
They are not quite assimilated I think, they still are aware that they are not by origin turks. However they were brainwashed to believe that they aren't kartvelians.
ottomans didint assimilate laz people. the ottoman empire didint even had a active assimilation policy like other empires. the assimilation process begun with the new turkish republic.
Persian and Georgian common words : ojakhi, panjara, pikri, khanjali, nishani, daghi, supra, andaza, abjari, amkhanagi, aqandazi, bazari, bedovlati, gumani, daqoqva, sevda, dardi, dovlati, maskhara, maslaati, maghazia, paekroba, siapandi, satli, pakizi, puli, karkhana, kucha, chaidani, khoshi, khatabala, end thousands more..... So Georgians and Persians are the same yes? )))). PS. i won't write Arab, Turkish, Latin, Greek and Armenian words in Georgian or you will claim that the whole world is Georgian.

@@skglifestyle You are very much mistaken. Kartvelian Language means Georgian, Laz-Mengrelian and Svan languages, not just Georgian! Laz language is for 100% Kartvelian language, thus, it differs from Georgian but is VERY closely related. No research is needed to find it. You have to take two languages and just compare. Of course, Laz people does not officialy own a flag, since it is nor autonomous region nor independent country, but many lazs use this very beatiful flag, which is basid on a logical givens. Please, if you are Laz and interested in your history, read carefully and with the will to find the truth. Laz people are descendent of great Colchis and Lazica states, not to mention that other antic states and Middle Ages Georgian Kingdom was as much Georgian, as it was Laz-Mingrelian!

Colchis was a Laz-Georgian state, which incorporated territories of MIngrelia, Abkhazia, also lands on the West of the Lazistan Mountains as well as Ajara, Guria and probably Klarjeri. Ajara and Guria was also partly settled by the Lazs that time. Thus, Cholchis was certainly a Laz-Georgian State.
@@bagratcolchian3434 Friend, Colchis was a Laz-Mengrel_Georgiam entity for sure. The realm incorporated territories which were populated by both Laz-Mengrel and Georgian peoples. E.g. Ajara, Argueti, most of Klarjeti and modern Racha-Imereti was at least partly inhabited by Georgians, if not fully. No one can claim the if the ruling dynasty was Laz-Mengrelian or Georgian, but definitely 3000 to 1500 years ago, there would not have been big difference in Laz-Megrelian and Georgian as it is now. So, proposition that Colchis was not Georgian, cannot be true. It was a Kartvelian State for sure, wich incorporated Laz-Megrelian and Kartvelian peoples. Imagine liek that, "The Kingdom of Georgians" originaly a Tao-Klarjeti kingdom was also like that, it incorporated Georgians and Laz as well. Likewise, Kingdom of Abkhazia incorporated Georgians, Svans and Mengrelians. Could you say that those kingdoms were not Laz, or were not Georgian Kingdoms? This kind of separation in that case has no sense.

the traditional costume its from laz people !
after the ottomans saying with the insistence that you would all wear this costume, we call it Zipka
and many peoples who lived on the Pontus wore it,
when the catastrophe happened in 1922, we Greeks of Pontus were killed and expelled.
we brought it here to mother Greece and from the photographs of our grandparents we also dress in this way and our traditions and dances.
why am I saying this now?
many confuse us with the Laz
they are different from us
they spoke differently, they spoke a Caucasian dialect
we speak Rumca dialect. (Romeyka)
women dress differently.
we just lived together then, I believe.

True. However pontic dances are a different story and have influenced other locals in the region. Horon for example isnt laz, it descends from the pyrrhic dance originally created in western Crete. Obviously there are some caucasian influences in the dance as well.
The Ottomans fought for three centuries to destroy the Christian-Georgian consciousness of the Laz people.[29] Due to the Ottoman Islamization policy, throughout of seventeenth century Lazs gradually converted to Islam. As the Ottomans consolidated their rule, the Millet system was brought to the newly conquered territories. Local orthodox inhabitants, once subordinated to the Georgian Orthodox Church, had to obey Patriarchate of Constantinople,[30] thus gradually becoming Greeks, the process known as Hellenization of Laz people.[30] Lazs who were under the control of Constantinople, soon lost their language and self-identity as they became Greeks and learned Greek,[31] especially Pontic dialect of Greek language, although native language was preserved by Lazs who had become Muslims. In the middle of the seventeen century, several governors of Tunis, who bore the title of Dey were Laz origin, such as: Muhammad Laz (1647-1653), Mustafa Laz (1653-1665) and Ali Laz (1673).

@@Dinosaur315 "pyrrhic" have being brought from Pontus to Crete at the middle ages -8th century. When The Byzantine Emperor brought thousants of Lazs to the island. Just decates ago the roman empire was in need of men 'cause of the Roman-Persian baatles at the far east. They brought Cretans to where the borders of Turkey and Iran are today and during the same period of time Spain did the revolution in the imberic peninsula against the arab occupation. Many arabs moved to Egypt but couldnt be accepted there so they moved to the southern east part of Crete. Then the Empire brought hundrendts of thousants of Lazs to Crete because there was in need of men. There was only women left there with theyr children. So to dont let the island under the islamic influence
This silly debate over the linguistic naming should be over. English and Swedish are Germanic languages but it doesn't mean English and Swedes are Germans. Likewise, Georgian and Laz are part of Kartvelian languages but doesn't necessarily mean Laz and Georgians are the same. If you're Laz and don't identify yourself as a Georgian, that's fine, you don't need to argue with language classification. Truth be told, Laz never really participated in the process of forming Georgian nation so I'm not surprised Laz in Turkey oppose any alignments with Georgians because of their own idea or Turkish political influences. You can't force someone be something if they don't want to, that's the bottom line. Just mind your own identity, local problems of assimilation and respect linguists who do their job instead of diving deep into this socio-political nonsense.
Wrong, Lazs of Xopa were always in Georgia and even Iberia. Since time of Tao klarjeti, Xopa was always in our borders. You could say that about Rize, but even they many times were in our borders.
@@GiorgiGachechiladze02 what do you mean when you say “our borders”? All the coasts ‘till the city of Poti was conquered by Ottomans in 17th century. So, how do you claim that Rize lazs and Hopa lazs are linguistically separated?
@@ozanbayrak562 not linguistically but by dialects. since end of 17th century yes coasts till Poti was controlled by Ottomans, but before it was controlled by Georgia, also in 18th century Imereti started liberating territories and started by Kutaisi, but I'm not talking about that. I mean before like 300 years ago, Xopa was always in Georgia, even when there was Trebizond empire (which was also created by Georgia and under influence of Georgian kings) , Byzantine empire and so on, Xopa was always in borders of Georgia, unlike Rize which was played between the Greek and Georgians at different periods of time. While for the last time Xopa was in Artvin region of Adjara autonomic republic of Georgia in 1918-1921. What I'm saying is that historically while Lazs of Rize or even Trabzon in Kaldea were kinda outside Georgia like Austria is for Germany, Lazs of Xopa were always Georgian Lazs. even phonetically and by common words Xopuri dialect of Laz is closer to Georgian than for example Atinuri dialect and that is also why Xopuri dialect is more similar to Megrelian language also.
Very caucasian language a middle term a bridge between turkish and georgian.
Can you plz do the svan language?
Some words were quite similar to Georgian, many weren't though
Yes ,They are cousins
incorrect information ! Colchis, the ancestor of the Laz Kartvel is the ancestor of the Georgians, not the Laz people.
What? Don't speak what you don't know. Georgians are descendants of the two Kartvelian kingdoms of Colchis and Iberia. The Georgian nation was created by the union of these two Kartvelian state.
Says a Laz who don't know their history before 2-3 centuries ago, Thanks god we are not part of Turkey or we would all be like you

Laz are Georgian (Kartvelian) subgroup. Beutiful people with beautiful history, culture and language. After Ottoman (Turkish) invasion they were forcefully converted to Islam and are now almost completely assimilated to them.
Alt grup mu... hahahahhh.. bana göre de Gürcüler Lazların alt koludur. Ayrıca madem Osmanlı Devleti Lazları zorla Müslüman yaptı, 100 kilometre ilerdeki Trabzonluları neden Hristiyan bıraktılar? Lazlara garezleri mi vardı?
They are not quite assimilated I think, they still are aware that they are not by origin turks. However they were brainwashed to believe that they aren't kartvelians.
@@gurupituri Georgians arent a subgroup of Laz nor Laz are a subgroup of Georgians, both are subgroups of kartvelians.
ottomans didint assimilate laz people. the ottoman empire didint even had a active assimilation policy like other empires. the assimilation process begun with the new turkish republic.

@@Dinosaur315 They sound more like Turkish, Albanian and Georgian
@@mladenzrnic2669 Georgian is a little bit obvious in my opinion as both Laz and Georgian belong to the same linguistic family. Turkish could be because of ottoman influences in their language, after all laz people are muslims and have been living under Turkey for decades.

Thanks for the video. However, the Laz people are certainly not Kartvelian nor is the Laz language is a Kartvelian language. You can only say that Laz is a South Caucasian language. Also, we don’t own such a flag.
South Caucasian = Kartvelian.
Kai = good or fine in Georgian , 3 = Sami Georgian , 4 = otxi in Georgian, didi = big in Georgian , toli - tvali eyes = Georgian. Nena - ena = tongue Georgian pici - piri = mouth Georgian. Guri - guli = heart Georgian, toma - tma = hair Georgian , kiti - titi = finger Georgian , cxeni = horse georgian ntxiri - ntxili georgian yurdzeni = grape and this is modern georgian language I’m very certain that in older Georgian there may be many more similarities we are the same ❤ kartvelians we are brothers
@@skglifestyle You are very much mistaken. Kartvelian Language means Georgian, Laz-Mengrelian and Svan languages, not just Georgian! Laz language is for 100% Kartvelian language, thus, it differs from Georgian but is VERY closely related. No research is needed to find it. You have to take two languages and just compare.
Of course, Laz people does not officialy own a flag, since it is nor autonomous region nor independent country, but many lazs use this very beatiful flag, which is basid on a logical givens. Please, if you are Laz and interested in your history, read carefully and with the will to find the truth. Laz people are descendent of great Colchis and Lazica states, not to mention that other antic states and Middle Ages Georgian Kingdom was as much Georgian, as it was Laz-Mingrelian!

Colchis was a Laz-Georgian state, which incorporated territories of MIngrelia, Abkhazia, also lands on the West of the Lazistan Mountains as well as Ajara, Guria and probably Klarjeri. Ajara and Guria was also partly settled by the Lazs that time. Thus, Cholchis was certainly a Laz-Georgian State.
@@giorgitavartkiladze4829 Colchis wasnt Georgian speaking
@@bagratcolchian3434 Friend, Colchis was a Laz-Mengrel_Georgiam entity for sure. The realm incorporated territories which were populated by both Laz-Mengrel and Georgian peoples. E.g. Ajara, Argueti, most of Klarjeti and modern Racha-Imereti was at least partly inhabited by Georgians, if not fully. No one can claim the if the ruling dynasty was Laz-Mengrelian or Georgian, but definitely 3000 to 1500 years ago, there would not have been big difference in Laz-Megrelian and Georgian as it is now. So, proposition that Colchis was not Georgian, cannot be true. It was a Kartvelian State for sure, wich incorporated Laz-Megrelian and Kartvelian peoples.
Imagine liek that, "The Kingdom of Georgians" originaly a Tao-Klarjeti kingdom was also like that, it incorporated Georgians and Laz as well. Likewise, Kingdom of Abkhazia incorporated Georgians, Svans and Mengrelians. Could you say that those kingdoms were not Laz, or were not Georgian Kingdoms? This kind of separation in that case has no sense.
