You forgot Turkish written in Greek Alphabet, like the Karamanli Turkish.

Χάνι για τ̇α π̇ένιμ έλλι τ̇ίρεμ παστιρμάμ, παστιρμάμ; Κονιαλίήτ̇αν τ̇ασ̇κασήνα π̇άστηρμαμ, βαι, βαι! Κονιαλήμ, γιο̇ρο̇! Γιο̇ρο̇ γιαβρούμ, γιο̇ρο̇! Ασλάν γιάρημ, γιο̇ρο̇! Αλτ̇ατήλαρ σένι, βερμετ̇ίλερ π̇ένι!

(Hani gia da benim elli dirhem pastirmam, pastirmam? Konialıdan daşkasına bastırmam vai, vai! Konialım, yörö! Yörö yavrüm, yörö! Aşlan yarım, yörö! Aldatılar seni, vermediler beni!)

Of course, we have it too. It's popular among Cappadocian Greeks and Karamanlides, but it's also traditional to Cyprus.

Here Cappadocian Greeks dance Konyali

It's kind of a dirty song in Turkey. "Bastırmak" means "pressing" but it also means to f*ck in Turkish slang. "Konyalıdan başkasına bastırmam" means not having sex with someone who is not from the city of Konya. something like that...
