I like that Turkish is agglutinative, but I'm not so keen on the orthography. .. (Correct me if I'm wrong) but having <c> for /dZ/ screws with me  The vowel harmony idea is a bit odd in my opinion too, but I guess I'm just used to it in Finnic languages. |

Türkçe is a nice language, but it seems a bit complicated  |

I like the Turkic langs (after all, I'm the one that did a lot of the stuff about Turkish that's on here already  ) I just haven't studied it much lately. I know they're agglutinating, but in that sense do they work more like uralic-style agglutination (i.e. cases with vowel harmony, multiple infinitives indicating different things about the verbs, particles, etc.) or caucasian style agglutination (i.e. different pieces have affixes, so words like verbs can be changed by changing the affixes in the verb root themselves and some verbs change depending on whether the topic is transitive and stuff like that) or are they different? Perhaps people may be more interested in turkic langs if you could explain a bit about what makes them unique  |

(Correct me if I'm wrong) but having <c> for /dZ/ screws with me The vowel harmony idea is a bit odd in my opinion too, but I guess I'm just used to it in Finnic languages. There's a really logical reason for <c> being /dZ/. One of the Ottoman Turkish letters named "gin" was shaped similarly to a Latin <c>. Atatürk thought it looked similar and thats why it's like that. Turkish orthography does seem a bit weird, it used to confuse me a lot when I was younger, when I would see a <ğ>. |
