Levantines (Latin Christians)
:''This article is specifically about Latin Christians in the Levant. Other ethnic groups in the Levant are covered under their individual names.''
Levantines or Franco-Levantines ((アラビア語:شوام); French: ''Levantins''; Italian: ''Levantini''; Greek: Φραγκολεβαντίνοι ''Frankolevantini''; Turkish: ''Levantenler'' or ''Tatlısu Frenkleri'') are Latin Christians who lived under the Ottoman Empire. The term is also applied to their descendants living in modern Turkey and the Middle East.
==Characteristics==
Levantines were mostly of Italian (especially Venetian and Genoese), French, or other Euro-Mediterranean origin and have been living in Constantinople/Istanbul, Smyrna/Izmir and other parts of Anatolia (in present-day Turkey) and the eastern Mediterranean coast since the middle Byzantine or the Ottoman era.
The majority of them are either descendants of traders from the maritime republics of the Mediterranean (such as Venice, Genoa and Ragusa) or of European inhabitants of the Crusader states (especially the French Levantines in Lebanon, Palestine, and Turkey). Others may be converts to Roman Catholicism, immigrants from Anglo-French colonization, or simply Eastern Christians who had resided there for centuries.
