The Turkish Language!

The Turkish language belongs to the Altaic language family and currently has anywhere from 65-73 million speakers. Turkish is mainly used in Turkey, but also in Greece and Eastern Europe among other places. The Turkish language is thriving and still changing. The Turkish Language Association is reforming that language and removing the Persian and Arabic loanwords, and putting words with Turkic roots in their place.
