Cappadocian, also known as Cappadocian Greek or Asia Minor Greek, is a dialect of the Greek language, formerly spoken in Cappadocia (Central Turkey).
The Cappadocians rapidly shifted to Standard Modern Greek and their language was thought to be extinct since the 1960s.
Cappadocian Greek is well known from the linguistic literature as being one of the first well documented cases of language death, and in particular the significant admixture of non-Indo-European linguistic features into an Indo-European language.

 Ancient Greek - TvWiki, the free encyclopedia
Throughout history the Greek language is presented in a number of dialects that did not apply on fixed geographical borders, and even if it did, those borders would be constantly altered because of the frequent migrations of the Hellenic peoples.
Ancient Greek is probably the closest language in syntax to Proto-Indo-European, spoken by the ancient Indo-European population before their migration over Europe.
This similarity has to be noted on the verb meaning The Greek verb, either ancient or modern, does not primarily indicate tense, the sensation of time, but the aspect of an action, that is, the quality of an action seen by the man who is talking or writing.

Rizos (1856:99-100), on the other hand, claims that the inhabitants of Misthi were originally from the Greek islands of Delos, Lemnos and Naxos while Carolides argues that the inhabitants of Misthi were simply Greeks from the lower port cities that came to Misthi to work as paid-labour farmers.
The city was inhabited purily by Greeks practicing the orthodox religion and wrongfully described as being turcophonic (speakers of the Turkish language).
At closer scrutiny however, the Greek dialect spoken, also referred to as Misthiotica, was a dialect based on ancient Greek drawing heavily on Byzantine Greek and with a major influx of turkish load words.

 Greek and Latin Traditions on Holy Spirit
The Greek Fathers and the whole Christian Orient speak, in this regard, of the "Father's monarchy", and the Western tradition, following St Augustine, also confesses that the Holy Spirit takes his origin from the Father "principaliter", that is, as principle (De Trinitate XV, 25, 47, PL 42, 1094-1095).
The Catholic Church interprets the Filioque with reference to the conciliar and ecumenical, normative and irrevocable value of the confession of faith in the eternal origin of the Holy Spirit, as defined in 381 by the Ecumenical Council of Constantinople in its Symbol.
The Father only generates the Son by breathing (proballein in Greek) through him the Holy Spirit and the Son is only begotten by the Father insofar as the spiration (probolh in Greek) passes through him.

In all probability the Greek Schism would not have taken place had East and West continued to converse as intimately as did St. Ambrose and St. Basil.

This is because of the clarity of the Greek language.
The third reason he gives is that it prevailed in the Latin language to express itself in universal and general terms (katholikoterais kai genidoterais lexesi), whereas in the East, the Fathers use specific and precise names (idikoterois onomasi) in articulating the Christian doctrines.
Beginning with Photios, generally, the Greek Orthodox perceive Augustine as a saint whose doctrines have been deformed or distorted by the West and that as a human being he erred on certain teachings.

However, there are reasons to think that, conversely, the Amazons were exiled from this region by the peoples who took part in forming later Greek nation.
Several important facts indicate identity or very close relationship, at least, of the Cappadocian Amazons and Indo-Europeans — hypothetic people known through the reconstruction of its language from multiple derived languages comprising Indo-European family.
Furthermore, Hittites was overwhelmed by so-called 'peoples of sea' surely identified with Achaeans, and the Cappadocian Amazons were defeated by heroes of Greer mythology — the same Achaeans.
