About Turkish
Turkish is a Turkic language with roots stretching back to the Orkhon inscriptions of the 8th century in Central Asia. It evolved through Old Turkic, Ottoman Turkish, and was dramatically reformed in 1928 when Mustafa Kemal Ataturk replaced the Arabic script with the Latin alphabet. Approximately 88 million people speak Turkish today.
Turkish uses the Latin alphabet with several modified letters including c with cedilla, g with breve, and i without a dot. It is the official language of Turkey and co-official in Cyprus. Turkish is notable for its agglutinative grammar, where suffixes are stacked onto word roots to convey meaning, allowing a single word to express what might require an entire sentence in English.
