Presentation in a few words: Nowadays there are no Greek Karamanlis, nor their writing. Chalk on a blackboard, which was erased by the sponge of time, it would be their case, if there were no surnames: Karamanos, Karamanlakis, Karamanoglou, Karamanlis et al. The case of the Karamanlids from the Cappadocia it stands as a thorn in our memory and asks us small and difficult questions that demand an answer, such as:
“You can be Greek, without speaking Greek;”
"What is the role of the Church in the preservation of the Nation;” and many more. Before you rush to answer, let's get to know the case of the Karamanlids better from the Caramania.
Where is the Caramania;
THE Caramania is a region of Southeastern M. Asia and includes parts of it Lycaonia, of Great Phrygia Pamphylia, Isauria, Cappadocia, Cilicia. It was named after him Karaman Bey / Mehmet Bey Karamanoglu (Mohammed B We are working Say it), o who founded the emirate, around, στα 1256. (www.24Grams.com)
The word Karaman (or Kahraman) means "the hero", "the first boy", and is common in Turkish, in Persian (Farsi), and in Armenian, as well as in all regions that have the Farsi variants such as: Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the area Punjab of India. In Persian historical texts, the word "Karaman” or “Hero” is written as “Hero” (the "Q” pronounced “C”)

Who were the Greek Karamanlids?; www.24Grams.com
With the term Karamanlis and, more commonly, in the plural: Karamanlides, its Greek residents are identified Karamania, which had a universal specificity: We are used to calling her, Orthodox Christians, they spoke Turkish and wrote the Turkish language with Greek letters (Karamanliki writing). Even though they were under a lot of pressure to convert to Islam, the Greek language was banned, Turkish was imposed, but with stubbornness and self-denial they remained Orthodox Christians, although they lost the Greek language.
