  • I played a clip of Turkish for some Canadian students to see if they are able to identify the language. Initially, most of them thought it was an eastern European language. Some also said it sounded "middle eastern". In the end it was the geographical hints that led people to the correct answer.
    So far out of all the languages I've done, people struggled the most with Turkish.
    I wasn't able to squeeze out a good imitation this time. I will definitely make another one in the future.

And the way the "ü" and "ö" are used, the unique rhythm, etc. The sonority of turkic languages (especially modern-day turkish) is so unique that I really can't compare them to any language of another family when I hear them. Turkish is so easily recognisable (except maybe that it is a bit difficult to distinguish it from other oghuz languages/dialects like azeri when the ear is not trained, and I doubt that mine is trained enought yet, but I think I can distinguish them now).

    The reason they hear Arabic and French is because the largest number of loan words in Turkish are from these languages. By percentage Arabic %6 and French %5. The pronunciation is very different from both of them though. Turkish is actually grammatically closest to Mongolian, Korean, Hungarian, Finnish etc. but I have also heard that it sounds Slavic to some people. It's a very unique language.

    •  8 років тому +77

      +fuac turkish is not closest to mongolian, korean, hungarian, finish, etc. turkish is closest to other turcic laguages like azerbaijaani, tatar language , kazakh language, turmeni, uzbeki,, kyrgyz, and others.the similarity to Monolian, Korean, etc. is next, because they all use the same sytax, and the cause that turkish sounds for some People similar to south slavic languages is because the Ottoman empire reigned a long time them, and that caused, that there are many similar words in south slavic languages too :)

    According to TDK (Turkish Language Institution) there are 111.027 words in Turkish. 14.981 are of foreign origin. The rest are indigenous. 6467 of those foreign words are Arabic origin whereas 5253 are of French. Neither Arabic nor French makes up more then 1 percent of Turkish language. If one looks at Wikipedia 29% percent of English words are French origin. Nobody says English "sounds like" French. But all of a sudden Turkish "sounds like" Arabic with less then 1 percent influence.

      +Atilla Demir The altaic theory has been officially discarded by modern linguistics. It has very little things shared with mongolian. Turkish comes from a family language itself originated in central asian kazakh turkic tribes. Later it adopted arabic, persian and greek vocabulary, alphabet and grammar. Ataturk simplified these things because of the high illiteracy rate in turkey, by discarding the arabic and persian alphabet and replacing it with the Roman alphabet with some Greek and Cyrillic characters.

      Kazakh between the Turkish language has 80+% word partnership. I can speak Kazakh language. Turkish language is OghuzicTurkic branch. Kazakh langauge is Cuman-Kipchak Turkic branch.
      Turkish comes from a family language itself originated in Caucasian Oghuzic turkic tribes.Oguz lived between the Balkans and the Central Asia. Turkic Oghuzic states in Europe(Balkans,Caucasia):
      -Pechenegs

      there is no grammatical elements of Arabic and Persian in Modern Turkish, Rough Ottoman Turkish, Middle Ottoman Turkish.
      In a social and pragmatic sense, there were (at least) three variants of Ottoman Turkish:
      Elequant Turkish(the language of poetry and administration. State administrators and scholars, poets were writing the language. This language is filled with Arabic and Persian grammar rules. %88 Arabic-Persian loanwords %12 Turkic.

      -Rough Ottoman Turkish(the language of Ottoman Turk people. %80+ Turkic %20 Other Langauges. It constitutes 95+% of the population.Rough Turkish is Modern Turkish in Turkey. )
      Elequant Ottoman Turkish text(year of 1798)
      "hullanda hem-ayar-ı nühas-ı hassas olan hey'et-i danişveriyi zaharif-i tafazzul ile temviye ve tezyin edip bezm-gâh-ı sühan-gûyanda iksar-ı sersere ile ser-halka-i ihvab-ı hava-ayin olmuş idim."

I found out that the most difficult parts for foreigners are verb conjugation (lots of irregular verbs) and the fact that every element in a phrase has to be adapted to the number and gender of subject. For example “beautiful” in English can be translated as “bello”, “bella”, “belli” or “belle”, depending on singular/plural and masculine/feminine form. Oh and objects have gender too: a chair is feminine while a notebook is masculine.

    Turkish stress and pronunciation confuses people.
    Back wovels combined with unvoiced consonants like p, ch, sh, t, k makes it sound harsh and slavic at times, but at the same time turkish has ö and ü which are found in germanic languages and french, people think maybe it is Swedish or French. One other reason people think it may be French could be due to Turkish and French having stress on final syllable.
    Turkish has vowel harmony it means that words will be made of either back or front vowels, therefore it will contribute to this confusion.

      The place where the Turkic languages originated from was a bit north of Manchuria; around the very east of Siberia. And the place where the Korean and Japanese languages originated from was Manchuria. So both Turkic and Korean and Japanese originated around the same place!
      Then the Turks migrated to the West and they took MANY MANY foreign words and ruined their language. Also the Japanese language was very affected by the Chinese language.
      Also the reason as to why Anatolian Turks (turkish people) don't have slanted eyes is that
      1-) They are from the Oghuz branch of the Turkic people and people from the Oghuz branch didn't have slanted eyes
      2-) Most of the Anatolian Turks people are actually native to anatolia, meaning their ancestors didn't come from Eastern Asia, their ancestors come from Anatolia and today's Turkish people are the descendants of the Ancient Anatolians, meaning the Anatolian Turks can say that the Ancient Anatolian Civilizations are theirs but ofc we all know this wouldn't be allowed by some countries...

      This is a really great comment. I thought that was smart too. Turkish is a language has Arabic, French and Persian words. Did you know in our origin language has not a word for "and"? We use "ile" and "ve", both of them are Arabic. Our literature has been impressed by Persian and Arabic literature at Seljukian's time and Ottoman's earlier years too. We call it "Divan Edebiyatı". Edebiyat means literature and Divan means council or sofa. Ruler of Ottomans sits on a sofa called divan and he gethers his council. We call it "divan-ı hümayun", imperial council in English. Anyway, at Ottoman's last years, our literature has been impressed by French language. This is why we have a lot Arabic, Persian and French words.

    • @oguzhankoc3806

      This is a Modern Turkish Literature. It has Arabic words too but they are more understandable and it is close to our origin language before the Seljukians and Ottomans.

    Thank you. Very good and efficient expalanation. As a native Turkish speaker and working abroad in some other Turkic countries, I recognized that Uzbek is 75% (mostly influenced by Persian and Russian) similar to Turkish. Within couple of weeks I used to speak Uzbek. I tried to find the original Uzbek language spoken in villages. Surprisingly very similar to Turkish (not spoken in Istanbul but in the villages of Turkiya). There is one region (Harazim) in Uzbekistan that the spoken language is almost 95 % the same as Turkish. I met several Kirghiz, Kazakh people. It is very easy to communicate after a little conversation. There are also Gagavuz Turks living in Moldovia. I have no problem at all to communicate with them directly. This is also true for other Turkic languages like Siyavuş, Hazar Turks. It is an interesting topic to research the commonalities in those individual languages. (Unfortunately I am engineer).

    Turkish has its own language root, distinct from other languages e.g indo-european. In its modern turkish form, it is lacking in original vocabulary, the sentences are unnecessarily complicated and ambiguous but it is phonetic and agglutinative so relatively easy to learn. ancient turkish is more interesting possibly a language worth studying.

    Turkish language is literally the embodiment of diversity. There are many words from Arabic and Persian and other languages of the Eurasian region. But it is normal thay we share extensive linguistic features with Arabic and Persian as we have always had deep relations with them for hundreds of years and we exchanged culture and words. I think this is beautiful because all of the three major civilisations of the middle east are very rich and we strived together to create a marvelous collective civilisation of science and art in the past. Unfortunately not much of that old glory is left. The important thing is to work hard to rebuild this civilisation.

      @@yakupgencyilmaz korecenin neden Altay dil ailesine eklendiğini biliyor musun? Çünkü diğer Altay dilleri ile benzer olduğu için. Eğer benzer olmasa neden Altay dil ailesine koysunlar?
