SORU:

Which languages was Turkish influenced by?


CEVAP:

Turkish was influenced by the languages of all the countries the Turks interacted with. Arabic had a significant influence, as the Turks borrowed many words since they were introduced to Islam. However, Persian had the heaviest influence on Turkish, because Central Asia was a dual-language realm.Later, in the eighteenth century, as the Ottomans tried to reform themselves to catch up with the European powers, they borrowed many scientific and related words from Western languages, especially from French.
