Urums, singular Urum (Greek: Ουρούμ ''Urúm'', Turkish and Crimean Tatar: ''Urum,'' ) is a broad historical term that was used by some Turkic-speaking peoples (Turks, Crimean Tatars) to define Greeks who lived in Muslim states, particularly in the Ottoman Empire and Crimea. In contemporary ethnography, the term ''Urum'' (or ''Urum Greek'') applies only to Turkic-speaking Greek populations. == Ethnonym == The term ''Urum'' is derived from the Arabic word (''rūm''), meaning ''Roman'' and subsequently ''Byzantine'' and ''Greek'' (see: Rûm). Since words beginning in () were not typical for Turkic languages, earlier speakers would add an extra vowel in order to facilitate the pronunciation. In modern Turkish, the ''Urum'' spelling, despite being still used by some, is considered obsolete and is replaced by the spelling ''Rum''. The term is used by the following sub-ethnic groups of Greeks as a way of ethnic self-identification: *Crimean-Tatarophone Greeks of North Azov (Ukraine) (Pontic Greeks) *Turcophone Greeks of Tsalka (Georgia) (see Caucasus Greeks) *Karamanlides of Cappadocia (see Cappadocian Greeks) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Urums」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
