If you're thinking about learning Turkish it's always good to know a little about the origins and history of the language you are learning. Here,Turkish language offers up our most interesting Turkish language facts: 1. The Turkish language is part of the Turkic languages - The Turkish language was first spoken in Mongolia, before being strongly influenced by Arabic and Persian. Turkish was then reformed in the 20th century.
2. Turkish has around 75 million native speakers The Turkish speakers are mainly in Turkey and the surrounding countries. Thanks to a large Turkish diaspora, Turkish is spoken in more than 30 countries where it is not an official language, including Germany with two million Turkish speakers. 3. Before 1928, Turkish was written using a specific form of Arabic writing In order to modernise Turkey, the administration adopted an adapted form of the Latin alphabet in the 20th century to replace the Arabic writing. Examples include divan, kayak, kebab, kiosk, pilaf and yogurt. Tongue twisters are present in most languages and Turkish is no exception. For example: Bir berber bir berbere gel berber beraber Berberistan’da bin berber dükkanı açalım demiş. – A barber told another barber “come barber, let’s start up a joint barbershop in Barberistan”. When addressing someone in English, people usually call each other by their names. This is not the case in Turkish language. In Turkey, it is considered impolite to address someone directly by their name, which is why there are titles that are used to accompany the names. For example, amca is used to address uncle whereas teyze is used for auntie. Thanks for attention karshibayeva sakina PRE 32U
