Polykarpi (Greek: Πολυκάρπι, before 1925: Πόλιανη – Poliani)[2] is a village in Pella regional unit, Macedonia, Greece.
Polykarpi had 1046 inhabitants in 1981.[3] In fieldwork done by anthropologist Riki Van Boeschoten in late 1993, Polykarpi was populated by a Greek population descended from Anatolian Greek refugees who arrived during the Greek–Turkish population exchange.[3] Turkish was spoken in the village by people over 30 in public and private settings.[3] Children understood the language, but mostly did not use it.[3]
