Turkish is the official language of Turkey and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and it is a language with a very rich cultural background. Due to its geographical position, the Turkish language has been influenced by many other languages over the course of history.
The specificities of Turkish
Turkish belongs to the Altaic languages, and to the Turkish language family, along with Uzbek, Kazakh, Uyghur, Turkmen, Kyrgyz and it has been influenced by many languages, such as Persian, French and Arabic, but also German, Italian and some Balkan languages. One of the reasons for this is Turkey's unique geographical position, straddling East and West.
Turkish, for example, contains more than 5,000 words from the French language.
The Turkish alphabet has also undergone a major transformation over the years. Turkish was originally written in Arabic. But in 1928, a reform meant that the Arabic alphabet was replaced with the Latin alphabet.
The challenges of Turkish translation
Turkish is the 21st most widely spoken language in the world today and is the native language of around 78 million people, mainly in Turkey, but also in Northern Cyprus, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Romania, Greece, parts of the Balkans and Northern Iraq.
