About Turkish
Turkish (Türkçe) is a Turkic language that switched to the Latin alphabet in 1928 as part of Atatürk's language reforms. It's famously agglutinative — you can build long, precise words by stacking suffixes — and uses vowel harmony to keep them flowing.
Where it's spoken
Turkey, Cyprus, and Turkish-speaking communities in the Balkans, Germany, and Central Asia

- 2Turkish switched from Arabic to Latin script in 1928
