 The Greek dialect spoken in Pharasa (Faraşa, now Çamlıca village in Yahyalı, Kayseri) and other nearby villages (Afshar-Köy, Çukuri), to the east of Cappadocia, is not particularly close to Cappadocian.It may be closer to Pontic, or equally distant from both.The Pharasiot priest Theodoridis published some folk texts.
