Collection: Turkish

Turkish is part of the Turkic language family. Its roots go back to Central Asia, where early Turkic tribes lived. Today, Turkish is mainly spoken in Turkey and Northern Cyprus, with about 80 million speakers. The language uses the Latin script, but it has a unique grammar and vocabulary. Azerbaijani and Turkmen are the closest languages to Turkish. They share many words and grammar rules because of their common origin. Even though these languages developed in different areas, people who speak them can sometimes understand each other.
