Talk:Urums

message: any information on Urum people in the U.S? I wonder any Urums migrated out of ukraine or Russia. I love to read anything on Urums I come across and add the stuff on the page. I liked the article, it is nearly organized and collected enough sources to abide by wikipedia rules. 207.200.116.8 19:21, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

message: The See Also section of this article has a red link to Ruumi Calender.  Does this refer to a calendar (like a timekeeping device) or a calender (like a press), or some other meaning?  I am currently fixing all calender for calendar typos that I find on Wikipedia, but prefer not to guess at their context. -- KathrynLybarger (talk) 04:02, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  calender/calendar? 

message: The name rum (Romanian - Est Romanian- Byzantium) is used to describe orthodox Byzantins. Not exectly greeks. For exemple an orthodox turk can be rum becouse he is orthodox. At the other hand a muslim greek will never be called as rum even if he is 100% greek. At this age religion was the strongest apparance of the nationality. Fınaly rum is not used for an ethnicity in ottoman empire but we saw already that most of the orthodoxs were greeks and armenians. I want to mean that rum is not equal to greek but to orthodox christian.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.91.137.53 (talk) 20:57, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Rum and greek are different

message: We Urums are fully aware of our Greek roots and only speak a Turkic-language. We do not consider ourselves Turkish, our ancestors were Greeks. Although today, many of our families have converted to Islam either by choice or by force, our ancestors were followers of the Greek Orthodox religion and we're able to trace our roots back to the Byzantine Empire.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.68.163.64 (talk) 23:01, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: LOL; sure...our family allways said we are Turkic christians, we are descendants of cumans from the village of üröm from hungary. We became forced orthodox christians by byzantine greeks, they called us Turkopouloi. but we kept our turkish language. We didn't learn our language from ottoman turks, because our language is cuman turkish, not ottoman turkish. We spoke Turkish long before the Ottomans came to Europe. We are turkic and christians like gagauz and karamanlides. To be turk, doesnt meant you must be muslim. Urumski (talk) 17:28, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

message: Article reads:
:In modern Turkish, the Urum spelling, despite being still used by some, is considered obsolete and is replaced by the spelling Rum.
As far as I know, both in Ottoman and Modern Turkish, Orthodox Christians in Anatolia have always been known as Rum روم, not Urum. I have modified the article; please clarify here if you think my edit is incorrect. --Macrakis (talk) 22:45, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
