Iraqi, Syrian Turkmen and Balkan Turks

Merhaba,

I have listened to a Folk Song named Kalenin Dibinde bir taş olaydım which is a shared melody among Oghuz people. I due to being not well versed in differences between Turkic people found it intresting that the same melody is present albeit in different Forms.

My question is What are some fundamental differences between Iraqi Turks, Syrian Turkmen and Balkan Turks?

I mean in Thier Customs, Traditions, Dialects etc. what separates them from Anatolian Turks

I know very little about Balkan Turks, having silent H in Thier Dialect, but other than the expulsion from Balkans I do not know much. I know even less about Iraqi and Syrian Turkmen

One question I have is why Iraqi and Syrian Turks are called Turkmen but not Balkan, for example ones from Adjara , Meshetkia and Khorasan are called Turks but not from Syria and Iraq who are called Turkmen

Ethnic Minorities in Eastern Roman Empire

Good Morning,

I have a question regarding the Ethnic Groups within Eastern Roman Empire,

I am very curious about how they were treated within the Administrative Mechanism, I knew there were many Armenian Basileus but What about Bulgarians, Assyrians, Jews and Serbs were they respected by the Greek Population? I knew there were tensions with the Latina but how Ethnically diverse were the Eastern Romans? What other Ethnic Group's were present which played a intresting Role in the Empire?

History of The Turkic Beyliks other than the Ottomans and Relationships with the Eastern Roman Empire

Good Afternoon,

I am very interested in Eastern Roman and Ottoman Empires and Anatolia as a Whole, I often read about Ottoman Empire but am curious to know about other Beyliks like Karamanids, Shah Armens, Saltukids etc- how was their relationship to Eastern Roman Empire?

How did the Basileus view these States formed after Kose Dag? Did they try to ally with them to fight off the Ottomans? What about Empire of Trebezoid?

How was the Greek Turkish relationship then? How did the Turkish Beyliks treat their Greek Peasantry? I heard about Umar of Aydın who assisted John Cantazeneus. But what about other leaders?
