History of Turkish
Turkish arrived in Anatolia with Turkic migrations from Central Asia. Ottoman Turkish used Arabic script and borrowed heavily from Arabic and Persian. Atatürk's 1928 language reform adopted the Latin alphabet and purged many foreign words, creating modern Turkish. Learning Turkish aids understanding of other Turkic languages.
Is Turkish Hard to Learn?
Turkish is agglutinative, building words through suffixes, but follows logical rules. Vowel harmony and SOV word order require adjustment. No grammatical gender, regular spelling, and a Latin alphabet make reading easier than expected.
