Thank you for the feedback, Michele. I have updated this section, including some of the Cappadocian and Pontic Greek communities present in Anatolia.

The Ionian Greek dialect which was spoken along the west coast of present-day Turkey was also spoken in present-day Greece and I will therefore put it under the Greece section, together with most other varieties of Greek.
