Languages in Eastern Thrace
Turkish is the language of choice in the region, as elsewhere in Turkey. The local dialect is loaded with slang and other colloquially used words mainly originating from other Balkan languages (mainly Bulgarian), but this won’t be a problem if you can speak Turkish as local folk mostly avoids using them (or “translates” them into standard Turkish) when they see you’re non-local. Also, the local dialect is one of the most similar dialects to standard Turkish (which is based on Istanbul dialect).
The most frequent foreign language is English. Thousands of immigrants from Bulgaria, who were settled in the region in late 1980s/early 1990s, means that finding someone who speaks fluent Bulgarian is also a possibility (albeit a minor possibility).
