Modern Turkish
Modern Turkish is the standard form of the Turkish language spoken today, developed after language reforms in the early 20th century. It is characterized by a simplified, phonetic alphabet, primarily based on Latin script, replacing the Arabic script used previously. The language has undergone significant vocabulary changes, incorporating many words from European languages like French, Italian, and English, while also maintaining its roots in Turkic grammar and structure. Modern Turkish is used in education, media, and government, making it accessible and functional for everyday communication across Turkey and among Turkish communities worldwide.
