A short course - Turkish Natisni

Turkısh language

Turkish is a very ancient language and belongs to the Altaic branch of the Ural-Altaic  family of languages. As one of the most widely  spoken  languages in the world, it is spoken  by almost  70  million  people in  Turkey  and over a large geographical area in Europe and Asia.

With a few exceptions, the main features which distinguish the Altaic languages from Indo-European are as follows:

  1. Vowel harmony is a feature of all Ural-Altaic tongues.
  2. No gender.
  3. Agglutination.
  4. Adjectives precede nouns.
  5. Verbs come at the end of the sentence.
