About Turkish
Turkish is a Turkic language spoken by about 88 million people, mainly in Turkey, and also in Northern Cyprus, Germany, Bulgaria and other countries. There are about 82 million speakers of Turkish in Turkey, about 2 million in Germany, 606,000 in Bulgaria, 500,000 in the UK, 300,000 in Northern Cyprus, 165,000 in the USA, 130,000 in Uzbekistan, and smaller numbers in other countries.
Turkish is an official language in Turkey, Northern Cyprus, and Cyprus. It is recognised as a minority language in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Greece, Iraq, Kosovo, North Macedonia and Romania.
Turkish is a member of the Oghuz branch of the Turkic language family. It is closely related to Azerbaijani, Turkmen, Qashqai, Gagauz, and Balkan Gagauz Turkish, and there is considerable mutual intelligibility between these languages.
The ancestor of modern Turkish, Oghuz, was bought to Anatolia from Central Asia during the 11th century AD by Seljuq Turks. This developed into Ottoman Turkish, and contained many loanwords from Arabic and Persian.
Until 1928 Turkish was written with a version of the Perso-Arabic script known as the Ottoman Turkish script. In 1928, as part of his efforts to modernise Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk issued a decree replacing the Arabic script with a version of the Latin alphabet, which has been used ever since. Arabic and Persian loanwords were also replaced with Turkish equivalents. Nowadays, only scholars and those who learnt to read before 1928 can read Turkish written in the Ottoman Turkish script.

Turkish alphabet (türk alfabesi)

Notes
• â, î and û are used to distinguish words that would otherwise have the same spelling; to indiciate palatalization of a preceding consonant, e.g. kar /kar/ (snow), kâr /kʲar/ (profit); and also to indicate long vowels in loanwords, especially those from Arabic
• e is [ɛ~æ] when it appears m, n, l or r, e.g. gelmek [ɡæɫˈmec] (to come, arrive)
• g = [ɟ] and k = [c] when next to e, i, ö or ü
• ğ is usually silent and indicates a syllable break, e.g. değil [ˈde.il] (not). In final syllables after e and i, ğ = [j], e.g. eğri [ej.ˈɾi] (curve). Elsewhere ğ lengthens a vowel, e.g. bağ [ˈbaː] (bond). In some dialects it is pronounced [ɰ]
• l = [ɫ] when next to a, ı, o or u
• h = [ħ] before consonants and at the end of words
• The letters Q (qu), X (iks) and W (we) are not included in the official Turkish alphabet, but are used in foreign names and loanwords
