The region called East Thrace is in the northwest of Turkey. The east branch of Rumelia dialect is spoken in the cities which are in this region. Rumelia dialects of the east region have not been studied scientifically enough. East Thrace dialects include the dialects of Gacal, Daglı, Pomak and immigrants. Even though these dialects keep their characteristics, they are on the edge of making up a common dialect by influencing each other. Not all the optative suffixes are used in these dialects. Optative meaning is corresponded by impretive suffixes. While East Thrace dialects appear to have a common dialect characteristic, at the same time they gain the characteristics of Istanbul Turkish.
