Kayseri is definetely not a coastal city.
[edit] Secular?
In moderm day Turkey, you can be anything you like as long as it is Turkish Muslim (See Armenian, Greek and Kurdish gencide). I think the characterisation "Secular" is very optimistic. In comparison the Ottoman empire that would devolve most of the administration to the Millet, was far mor secular.
[edit] Shouldn't the title be "Seljuks of Rum"?
Sultanate of Rum, ok, but who's sultanate? Rum is the word used for Asia Minor by Turks, the title should be Seljuks of Rum. Can we change it?--Kagan the Barbarian 09:52, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
In Enc. Islam, I read it as: "Seljuk Sultanate of Rum".Ayasi 18:24, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Kay Khusrau II
The article states that he ("the sultan") died in 1246, but in the list of sultans is mentioned that he reigned a second time from 1257-59. Now what?
[edit] Rûm vs Rüm
Where is "Rûm" used, and why should we use it instead of "Rüm"? Adam Bishop 02:03, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
- Reply: It is defintely either "Rum" or "Rûm" but not "Rüm". The word "Rum" is the turkish version of the word "Roman" and is pronounced with vowel similar to the one in "book". The vowel in "Rüm" would be the same as the german "ü", whereas the vowel in "Rûm" is a slighlty longer and rounder version of the vowel in "Rum". Anyway the letter "û" is used very scarecely in modern Turkish, and I believe it might even have been officially declared obsolete.
