During the Ottoman Empire's height after conquering Greece they capture massive number of the hellenic people and ship them to Arabia. This takes place during the 17th century. They speak a language descended from Greek. Now I want you guys to come up with other aspects.
 
I thought this was gonna be about Alexandros Megas :frown:

They'd write in Greek with Arabic loan words I suppose? They'd have more pressure to convert to Islam in their isolation and especially if Wahhabism still springs up in the region.
 
Why on Earth would tbe Ottomans deport the Greeks en masse to Arabia?

Even if we assume that the 17th century Ottoman Empire is some kind of early Soviet Russia in terms of population transfer, where these Greeks are supposed to live anyway? They will live alongside bédouins riding camels or inside the city that only allows Muslims?
 
Unspeakable mass genocide akin to throwing Russians into Siberia. The Greeks die in the desert long before cultural transmission becomes a thing. The house of Osman is even more hated by the Greeks today.
