Our language was influenced by Persian, Arabic, Greek and other languages around. It's originally an Asian language mutually intelligible with Azerbaijani—or "Azerice" as we call it and quite hard for Westerners to learn. Well the fact that there are only Turkish people in my town is probably the main reason why I don't know much about their language. Not a generalisation, I've said the ones I'VE met, so it's clearly not all of them. ConfusedGrocer Xper 7. I'm Turkish and I've always wondered how Turkish sounds like to foreigners.

Most of the Turkish langauge comes from other langauges, before the Turks got their alphabet from arabic and had a lot of persian influences but when they came to anatolia a lot of people joined the turks.
Those people that became turkified brought with them their own languages to influence Turkish. So if your like me and know Greek and Arabic and hear Turkish you can hear the influences from the other langauges. Sti poli which means the city or at the city in Greek and turkified it became stinbulI or now Istanbul. Hajj or Hatzi is clearly from Arabic and Pasha from Persia etc etc. Is this still revelant? Of course you're a Greek, LOL. Gotta love our neighbours. Show All Show Less. Also my mom has blonde hair and green eyes.
You talk like turkish isn't a language. CoverGuy Xper 5. I've heard quite a bit of Turkish and even some Turkish songs. I like the language and some parts of its culture; the language is quite condensed and efficient. Turkish culture is a lot less individualized, but I think the guys have some superiority complex over women. Their food is incredible. Men have a superiority complex in pretty much every culture.
I can't really say how it sounds because to me it sounds like they're speaking too fast for me to even describe what it would sound like so if "fast" is a description then i'll go with that! Also for me i can't understand any word in Turkish like some other languages French for example even if you dont know the language you can sometimes tell by certain words what a conversation might be about or a indication to what someone is talking about but with Turkish it literally just sounds like a random bunch of letters put together and spoken so quickly that you literally have no idea what someone is saying, defiantly going to learn it someday though!
LittleMissGriff 63 opinions shared on Other topic. Turkish, to me, is a very animated language. It isn't as harsh as, say Russian, that very much breaks into a room and demands attention, but it isn't soft and smooth like French, either. It's lively, but it also can hold an edge if someone is sharp, frustrated, or impatient, without them having to raise their voice.
Turkish seriously is the only language I've ever heard where there is literally no word to understand. Normally with most languages you can kinda indicate what the subject is, but I really don't know what the hell you're saying in Turkish.
I'll be honest, it sound like complete nonsense to me. I can't distinguish any words. When I listen to most European languages, even though they sound foreign to me, I can still somewhat understand certain words that are being said.

Think it sounds cool, but I've always been pretty big for most other languages. Only some, though, mixed with a flowy language. I suck at describing it, haha. It sounds like someone talking in a language I can't understand. Same thing with people who speak Spanish or Chinese or anything that isn't English.
LittleSally 4. Kind of gypsy like and a bit sharp. But not unnatural at all. Sounds like pashtu to me It is a native language used by people in kpk province of Pakistan. No in Afghanistan they use a dialect that is closer to farsi. Afghanistan has 2 languages, Dari and Pashto. It sounds like slurping, but It's like I'm hearing a lot of "k"s and "sh"s.

Korean and Turk is same family language. ToxicValentine Xper 6. I dont understood what you said She said where did you learn turkish. Oh well, it was a misunderstanding and I cannot delete my post. It sounds to me like Hungarian But I don't speak either language, so I suppose I'm not really qualified to answer.
Turkish is not a middle eastern language you stupid And it has no roots related to Middle Eastern languages, neither to Hebrew nor to Arabic.
Turkish doesnt have guttural voices like "gh" or "r" that even exists in Dutch and French Technically, Turkish is a "Middle Eastern" language, as Turkey or at least most of it is part of the Middle East, just like Hungarian or Basque are European languages, just not Indo-European languages. Just because it is not related to Arabic does not disqualify it as a "Middle Eastern" language, as Farsi or Dari are Indo-European languages.
Turkish is a middle eastern language, sounds definitely non-European, but not in the same way as Arabic and Hebrew do it's not even remotely as ugly.
You are in the top league of ignoramuses. At first, you have to admit and absorb into your brains that Turkey is not a middleeastern country, go and learn some geography Even if you count Turkey in middle eastern languages, it is still an Ural-Altaic language that you you will never be able to grasp the idea.
Middle eastern people have somewhat darker skin compared to Turkish people. It is a perfectly definite idea that Turkish sounds much softer than French, German, Dutch and north germanic languages and that some Arabic, Farsi or Hebrew ones Israel is a Middle Eastern country and it is a few km away from Turkey.
I know that Turkish would like to hear that their country is European but not, it's a Middle Eastern country. Deal with it.
