Differences between Lazs and people from Trabzon

Lazs live in Rize,Hopa,Artvin.Some people assume that they live in Trabzon,too.But it is not true.Because Lazs speak different language,the Laz language that people from Trabzon do not speak.For example;they say "psomin"which means "ekmek" in Turkish and they say "omata"which means"göz".You see it is very different from Turkish.In Trabzon people speak with Blacksea accent.They say"geliyrum,habu,ne yapaysun?,emica..."but these words are in Turkish.Only difference is in the pronounciation.Lazs' traditional folk dance is a bit different from Trabzon folk dance,too.Their folk dance is "Hemşin horonu" while our dance is "Akçaabat horonu".But in society these differences are not matter.We can communicate and share everything with each other.I want to correct some wrong believes;people from East Blacksea Region is not lazy and sillyas in the Temel's tales.O n the contarary,they are active in their jobs and they are intelligent,i believe:))))
