Turkish – basic information
- Turkish is a member of the Oghuz branch of the Turkic languages. The oldest written account of Turkish (Orkhon inscriptions) were found in Mongolia and date back to the 8th century. In the Ottoman Empire (15th-early 20th centuries), the official language of communication was Ottoman-Turkish, which was under the strong influence of the Arabic and Persian languages. That language was written in a modified Persian-Arabic script. As the result of President Atatürk’s reform, the Ottoman-Turkish alphabet was replaced by the Latin script, while many Arabic and Persian words were eradicated from Turkish.
- The standard variety of Modern Turkish is based on the Istanbul dialect (hence, its alternative name Istanbul Turkish). The language is often regarded as a group of ethnolects which display many similarities to the remaining Oghuz languages, e.g. Turkmen or Azerbaijani). A unique variety of Turkish is Cypriot Turkish, which has retained some of the features of the Ottoman-Turkish language. Türkçe is regulated by the Turkish Language Association.
- Turkish is not an official language of any major international organizations.

Interesting facts
- Turkish is an agglutinative language in which morphemes are postfixed to the root of the word, altering its meaning. Semantically, such a word corresponds to multi-word phrases in Indo-European languages. For example, the English equivalent of the Turkish word evimde (where ev – Eng. house is the root) is the phrase in my house.
- The standard word order in Turkish is subject-object-verb, which means that the verb typically occurs at the end of a sentence.
- An interesting phenomenon in Turkish is vocal harmony: suffixes added to the word root usually contain the same or similar vowels, e.g. bardak (glass) → bardaklar (glasses).
- The letter w does not occur in the Turkish alphabet. Until recently, given names that started with this letter were officially banned.
- Turkish, along with other Turkic languages, has contributed several common words to English. Besides doner kebab, which is associated with Turkish cuisine, examples of Turkic loanwords include coffee, kiosk and yogurt.
