** Start learning
Turkish in Istanbul**
Turkish is a member of the
Turkic branch of the Altaic family of languages. Nearly 150 million people spanning from Western China to Eastern
Romania speak the Turkic languages. Modern Ottoman Turkish spoken by
nearly 70 million people is the official language of Turkey. It has heavy
borrowings from Persian and Arabic languages, as well as some European influences. However, in recent history Turkish has been purging from
itself the Arabic and Persian words, replacing them with truer Turkish
words, or with western counterparts.
In 1928, the Turkish
government replaced the Turkish Arabic alphabet with a Turkish Latin
alphabet. This action has helped aligned and continues to push Turkey
towards the west. With such a rich language, culture, and people (over 150
million people speaking some form of it), Turkish certainly is an
important language to learn.
**
