Turkish Language

Turkish is a member of the Turkic language family, primarily spoken in Turkey and Cyprus, with significant communities in several countries. It has unique vowel harmony and agglutinative features, meaning that suffixes are added to base words to create meaning. The language uses a modified Latin alphabet, adopted in 1928 to replace the Arabic script, making it relatively easy to read and write. Turkish has borrowed vocabulary from Arabic, Persian, French, and Italian, reflecting its diverse cultural history. It’s noted for its distinct grammar and phonetics, ranking among the most widely spoken languages in the world.
