Abstract (EN)

The main purpose of this study is to examine the word and meaning changes of the official Georgian language in the Georgian villages of Amasya and to examine which activities are finished or ongoing in the Georgian villages of Amasya in a cultural sense and to express in writing. In total, I found out that 7 villages in the Amasya region were Georgian, and 2 of them have a partially Georgian population. And I started my work through an interview channel through the elderly citizens in the village. According to the information I gained as a result of my researches, the Georgian language has undergone some word and meaning changes due to many factors. In addition to the fact that the official Georgian language has received many foreign words, Turkish, Arabic and a small amount of Persian words have been observed in Georgian, which is spoken by Georgian immigrants in Amasya. However, when we listen to the speeches of Georgians from Amasya, when you remove the Turkish words, an original Georgian language is encountered. . Letter changes have been observed in the words spoken by Amasya Georgians. . For example, the word modi-come is used instead of moy (moi),and Rogor khar?-How are you? İs used instead of Ravar khar? varied as. The basic terms remained the same, but could not be passed on to future generations because some words were not used due to geographical factors or environmental conditions. . In addition to these changes, some Georgian words used for encryption method were found. There are words in the official language that have varied in meaning and are still in use today. Examples of these are the words Boloqi-Radish and Tavtziteli Kizilbash. Addressing or expressing these words with a completely different expression apart from their meanings in the official language has been observed. Only one or two villages have been able to preserve the language in a healthy way from the period they migrated to today. The biggest reason for its protection is that they have not lost the atmosphere of national unity and solidarity. Some of the villages have half Turkish and half Georgian population, religious sensitivity and their assimilation status are the main reasons why language and culture cannot be preserved. In terms of culture, although there was Cibniguda (chibony) instrument player in the old times of Akyazı village, Georgian folk dances culture was not encountered in any village and today there is no instrument used for Georgian folk dances in any village. As a game culture, local games are played with drum and zurna. Although kinship ties have been partially weakened due to external marriages today compared to the past, marriage between Georgians continued in some villages. In this case, it helped to keep kinship ties strong and preserve the culture. Geographical names, plant animal names and tool names show similarities with the meaning and word structure in the official language and most of the words used by Georgians in Amasya region. However, in a few villages that preserved the pure structure of the language, words that were known in the old language but rarely used today have been found. To give an example, kochikorvalai - Black pepper word is used as Shavipilpili in official language. Although there have been changes in the field of art with word structures, changes in meaning and some inaccessible cultural activities, we can clearly see the miniature Adjara in Georgian villages in Amasya. It has been observed that the memories that are still not lost, national unity and solidarity integrated with national feelings, as well as cultural revival continues today in Georgians in Amasya. Keywords: Amasya, Georgian villages, Geographic names, Cultural activities, Adjara.
