** Apparently one of the maps I used (0:37-0:47) is a map of something called "Greater Albania", and some of you are upset about it. I didn`t know what Greater Albania was (I had never heard of it), and it`s not written on the map. I mistakenly thought it was a simple hand-drawn map of the Balkans. I`m sorry about that mistake. There was no political intention behind using that map.**
This video is about the Turkish language, which is spoken in Turkey – as well as the closely related Oghuz Turkic languages which are sometimes considered dialects of Turkish.

Langfocus there are mistakes, if you wish I can explain those to you
unfortunately tatar turkish is not included here, you even show it in your map in 1:42 so sad… we turkey turks can also understand crimean tatar really well, while we cannot understand volga tatars.
Langfocus First thing I’ve noticed. Thank you for clarifying it.
Oghuz is also my language Gagauz ( Gagauz Dili) spoken in south Moldova in Gagauziya.
Benim topraamlar Gagauz Yeri!
Sizi unutmadik kardesim, buyuk Turani kuracağız, Turkiyeden selamlar!

GdG Gökoğuz kardeşlerim, hiçbir çeviriye ihtiyaç duymadan nasıl da anlaşabiliyoruz. Türkiye Türkçesine en yakın dil Gagauz Türkçesidir.

Tebrikler 😄
I have been taking Turkish lessons for 2 months and I love it more and more.I am greek so we have some common words but the concept of the two languages is totally different . Hope to visit our neighbors after covid .Greetings from Hellas.
Much love to Greece from Turkey! As a Turk I love your language. It sounds like Italian and Spanish. So musical and enjoyable.
I speak 4 languages, a native Arabic, French, English, and Greek (I just can manage reading and speaking writing and typing the basic stuff), I’ve tried to learn Turkish, and the only words I managed to learn are watermelon and closet, because they are similar to Greek
♥️
It is most fun when the language you’re learning is totally different! 🙂
I can help you If you don’t learn right now
My native language is turkmen dialect, and when I came to Turkey I barely understood the words spoken in Turkey (usually the words sounded the same but meaning differently) but after 23 days I became fluent in Turkish. More interestingly. I can understand Azeri turkish as well. It seems like a combination of modern turkish and turkmen dialect which shows that these countries once spoke exactly the same dialect and had exactly the same kinds of traditions etc. That’s why we call each others brothers and sisters.
Don’t forget that we all lived in Ottoman Empires at the time.
turkmenistan was never part of ottomans
@Hamlet Isakhanli Before that
yes, of course
Evet tabi kardeşimizsin yani hepimiz aynı ırktanız sonuçta cCc 🙂
I love the Turkish language❤️Love from Greece🇬🇷🇹🇷
@victoria i really wanna learn turkish but it seems so difficult…like the pronunciation seems so hard to me :/
@victoria thank you so much❤️❤️❤️🇬🇷🇹🇷
@victoria unrelated but do you think that it’s safe to visit turkey as a greek person? don’t be nice just to be nice please tell the truth
@Stefanos Georgakopoulos yeeayah . I can say it is, actually. Eagean reagion is pretty safe. Izmir is turkeys most safest city. They all open minded. Istanbul ether. But Dont forget about istanbul got almost 20 million population. So you can found psycopaths,islamist,and somethings… There are spessific neighboors (1 or 2) in istanbul for “not safe” but istanbul is cool 2 for u .Ofc peoples idea about you guys could change to what happning between goverments. Still if you dont be dissrespectful for ataturk, turkish flag and (sometimes for islam) its safe. Capadocia is safe 2. I dont say anythink But dont forget centrel anatolia is most islamist reagon in turkey(konya and around). And east south of turkey, as u know kurds live in there, i really dunno what they thinkink about you but sometimes couple bombs can come from syria,iraq…. thats it. Its dippend for region. But we as people dont have much negative feels for you. And you can found really good people to.
@victoria yeah i want to go to izmir and istanbul mainly. i hope it’s safe when i go. thank you very much friend❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇬🇷🇹🇷🇬🇷🇹🇷
Bütün Türk millətinə salam olsun 🇦🇿🇹🇷🇭🇺🇰🇬🇰🇿🇹🇲🇺🇿

If you decide to learn Turkish one day, I can help you as a native speaker, just let me know! 🙂
@fernweh Heeeey! It’s been a while. I didn’t start to learn it yet but I have been listening to some Turkish pop songs and I loved it. Sounds pretty amazing and I like to dance with the instrumentals. I’m also a musician. I can tell you, music helped me a lot to learn new languages as French English and now Turkish.
I’m from Poland but I learn Turkish at home and it’s just amazing I love it!❤
Greeting to Poland, I love Poland and I listen polish songs but I can’t accompany any word :(( so hard a language but still I love it
Thanks for the Witcher !

🇦🇿🇹🇷❤️🇪🇸
Love Spain from Azerbaijan! 😊😊 Probably the best European country in my opinion!🍷😃✌️
I used to work in Turkey in the 1990’s. I learned Turkish rather quickly since my own language, Finnish, also is agglutinative one. A language, however, tends to disappear if t i not used regularly. Fortunately I have many friends in Finland, who are native Turkish speakers. This video is very good. It is always fun to learn new languages! Thanks Paul!
Use it or lose it 🙃
Merhaba Hannu. Umarım Türkiye’yi sevmişsindir. Finlandiya’ya selamlar 🙂
AFAIK Finish was in that old “Altaic” language family. As far as I remember it is not accepted because the languages are not that similar. But maybe it was divided in a very long time ago. Who knows I am not an expert 🙂 nwm take care
@Radonsider I’ve heard that linkage as well – that Finnish (and the whole Finno-Ugric, or Uralic language family) is lumped into Altaic. I think the legendary Joseph Greenberg was one of the advocates of that linkage.
My grandmother was a native Finnlander (so I am 1/4 Finnish); I tried out some Turkish phrases and words on her, but she didn’t understand or see any common roots in any of them. As Paul mentions in the video, the Altaic super-family has been largely discredited by modern linguists, although given the common source location of both families (essentially central Asia), some common ancestor seems plausible, even likely. We may just not have the tools to go that far back diachronically to link them together.
Also note that Turkish has an unusual word order in sentences that is completely different from Finnish or Hungarian (for example). In English one might say, “I gave the book to the little girl,” whereas in Turkish (as I understand it), the sentence would read, “I to the little girl the book gave.” In this respect at least, it is very similar to Japanese, though no other similarities exist as far as I know.
@Kevin Gillette you can actually change the places, just by having the verb, it will still be a sentence. So you can say the sentence from reverse (only the verb staying in the same pos.) And it doesn’t even sounds that different. “Kitabı küçük kıza verdim.”, “küçük kıza kitabı verdim.”, “Ben, kitabı küçük kıza verdim.” Etc. It only gets different when the verb is not a good place in that sentence, not just at the back, sometimes placing the verb in front of the sentence won’t affect much but if you really throw the verb in kinda akward place, you can spot them in everyday if someone uses it. Sorry for a kind of “Turkish language” lesson sorry :/
Selam arkadaşlar!Brezilyalıyım ve son 9 ayda türkçe öğrendim. One day I’ll master all the Turkish dialects and accents, even göktürk alfabesi cause I fell in love with your history and culture. I have no relatives or old relations with your culture, I just happened to be hit by this interest. Love for you all from Brazil! 🇧🇷🇹🇷
Greetings from Turkey to Brazil 🇹🇷❤️🇧🇷
yürü aslanım, kim tutar seni.
Tebrikler gerçekten zor bir dili öğrenmeyi başlarmışsınız.
@Dijital Yaşam Becerileri sen bile daha tam yazamıyorsun çok zor bir dil. d

bizde polakları seviyoruz)
też kocham twój język
@Mustafa Şatıroğlu tesşekkürler😄😃
thanks, we love you too. One thing: it’s better to say “seviyorum”
@Name Surname teşekkürler, yani diller için “seviyorum” daha iyi ve doğal. Ne için daha?
Butun dunyo turklariga salamlar, ozbek turklaridan sevgilar!
Ve Aleyküm selam akam özbekistanga ham selamlar türkiyeden
Seni anlıyorum 😃
Ben Türküm ve özbeki anlamanın bu kadar kolay olduğunu sanetmezdim
@Ichbinesdeinemülltonne özbekçe sandığından daha kolay çünkü o 3 lehçeyı barındırıyor Oğuz (Türkiye, Azərbaycan, Türkmenistan, Irak ve Suriye Türkmenleri, Gagavuzlar konuşan Türk lehçesi), ikincisi Kıpçak lehçesi (Kazak, Kırgız, Noğay, Tatar vs vs Rusyadaki Türk halklar konuşan lehçe), üçüncüsü ise resmi Özbekçe lehçesi olan Karluk lehçesi (Uygurlar de Karluk lehçesinde konuşuyor Özbekler ile aynı lehçe Özbekçeye de 90% benzer dil Uygur Türkçesidir) Karluk – bu lehçe Farslaşmış, etkilenmiş olabilir ama yinede dikkatle bakarsan anlarsın, Özbek Türkçesi diğer Türk diller arasinda tüm Türk dillerini anlayabilecek tek dil bence çünkü 3 esasî, genel lehçeler var
Turkish and Hungarian speakers should learn each other languages as they are so similar in grammar (like agglutinating suffixes, vowel harmony, past tense, personal pronouns etc.). Like… I / én / ben , you / te / se , he/she/it / ő / o etc. Maybe Hungarian belongs to the Finno-Ugoric language group, but it could be considered as a Turkish language family member too.
Yeah that’s right we only need to compare some simple words so we can conclude that two languages are relatives
As a Brazilian I can say Turkish is not a easy language. But I think it’s beautiful how it sounds when we pronounce the words. Lately I decided to come back study English and now Turskish. I hope get fluent as soon as possible. Thank you for this video ❤ Teşekkür ederim!
im from turkey and i actually want to learn another language beside english for fun and brasilian portequese seems charming. can we make language exchanging if you didnt change your mind yet.
