I'm part Neapolitan, part Chinese, part Turkish, is it true that I could be Greek???

@pokefan1775 You aren't 100% Neapolitan my friend.You're a mix.

I'm sorry but the statement that the majority of Naples inhabitants as Greek is wrong. Manfed Kayser, a geneticist from Amsterdam studied Italian populations residing near the city of Naples and found that Neapolitans were closely related to the Spanish, French, Romanian and Portuguese...sure the Greeks settled Naples in large numbers but so did Italic tribes, Romans, Normans, Spanish and Bourbons!

i don't think so my friend!!Neapolitans were Greek people

My family comes from a small town called Agropoli just down the coast... my grandmother said we were originally Greeks - swore it. My mother passed all the myths and legends on to me, and their Greek origins can not be doubted. Now, may there be mixture? Sure,and remember, all those peoples you mentioned were once members in the greater Roman Empire. But we southern Italians have a strong sense of our Greek origins, even now.

@mulatto321 Napoli is a city founded by Greeks for Greeks when Manfred Kayser did his reserch there could have been some mixing with other people, but in France there is another Greek city now called Marsails and there were Greek colonys in todays Spain and Portugal

@ELLHN18 not anymore. Ever since the 18th century it has largely been mixed with Spaniard peoples too.

It happens to have Italian relatives at a small village in North Lombardy. Once they told me: We have a local dialect in our village and when we talk other Italians don't understand us, plus no other village around speaks this dialect! Much to my surprise the words they used were Greek with only a slight difference!They were shocked too! They had no idea of this and we were wondering about it! I supposed that maybe their roots come of south of Italy. They jocked at me saying: you 'stole' from us

@1PRESIDENTE Yes, but how would they know? Were they geneticists?
