Byzantinists:
I had an exam question vaguely on this yesterday and thought I'd source out opinions. When, in your view, does the "Turkification" of Anatolia become impossible to reverse, in your view? That is, even if Anatolia is retaken by the Empire it'll remain predominantly Turkish, just as the Balkans remained predominantly Slavic even after being reconquered.
1075? 1080? 1085? Later still?
