I think they are pretty continuous-ish, but many ‘Greeks’ (classical Hellenes) were Arabized or Turkified during the Abbasid, Seljuk, & Ottoman periods

I see Greeks occasionally described as Turkish or Turkified but Bosniaks are probably the most common.

I believe that after the whole pan-turkist phase, many Crimean Karaites nowadays are re-Judaizing, as in re-adopting traditional Karaite Judaism instead of the weird turkified version via contact with Egyptian Karaites in Israel

Early medieval Arab sources say Turks look like Tibetans. The reason modern Turks don't is that most genetic contribution to modern Turks is Anatolian Greeks who Turkified.

Heard the word röpteşambır (bathrobe in Turkish) for the first time last week, found it such a weird word. I heard it again this morning and suddenly I understood: this is the Turkified way of saying robe de chambre

Taking place within this same common steppe culture, it only marginally alters the political culture of the empire. Temür, a Turkified Mongol, still thinks essentially within the Chinggisid framework.

And then the Turks are the descendants of Greeks who Turkified under the Ottomans?

Funny how the Crimean Karaites currently claim themselves to be descended from the Khazars even though all actual evidence (including DNA tests) points to them being turkified Jews.

Wow my brain has been fully Turkified, my friend just sent me "O'bama" and my first thought was "ah it's like an Uzbek word!" instead of "ah it's like an Irish surname!"

No, they were Anatolians, possibly Luwian-speaking. And modern Turks are, in a large part, Turkified (Hellenised) Anatolians, so it seems like the best fit.

And of course the "Turkified"/Turkic populations of Anatolia also intermixed with Muslim communities from the Caucasus (eg Circassians, Laz people, Kurds, converted Armenians) in addition to enslaved Christians of the region
