Turkish language

[The Lawspeaker]

I have no idea how this happens but some Turk from the mountains of Macedonia, Bulgaria who has never been in Turkey for the last ~600 years, speaks much better Turkish despite the fact that they have never get educated in their native tongue but some migrant from Anatolia speaks much worse Turkish if they stay in Europe for more than 20 years.

It's the same with Afrikaners, Flemish or some Surinamese of the older generation or Indo-Dutch. They speak Dutch better then we do - sometimes using words that we haven't been using for the past 200 years.

If I hear spoken Hungarian I cannot understand even 1 word.

Szeretlek

I find Hungarian and Finnish much softer languages. It is the U sound coming from the bottom of the throat that sounds so heavy and if I can even use this word "unsexy". That's my honest opinion about it.

Hungarian and Turkish sound similar to me. I don't understand how Turkish is in the same language group as Japanese, those languages sound nothing alike.

[Queen B]

Honestly, not my cup of tea. I find the sound very strange, but I think also that Turkish language is very unique. I don't think I have heard any other language similar to Turkish.

Because language groups are not based on pronunciation.

I am learning Japanese and can give some examples .Prepositions and sentence structure is quite similar especially -e and -de suffix is exactly same in Turkish and Japanese

uchi:home
ikimasu:to go
watashi:I

I home go
Ben ev-e gidiyorum (or giderim -present tense)
watashi wa uchi-e ikimasu

watashi wa uchi -kara kimasu
I home -from come
Ben ev -den geliyorum or gelirim (present tense)

Deniz wa uchi -de benkyo shimasu -ka?
Deniz ev -de ders yapacak -mı (question suffix)
Deniz home -at lesson study is?


we have hidden subject at the end of question so we don't use subject all the time .
Japanese language don't even have this hidden subject ,once you use subject ,u don't need to say I or you (watashi,anata) all the time..
interesting part is Japanese and Koreans speak Turkish well ,with nice pronounciation, except their famous L problem..And they find my accent quite similar to native Japanese ,so we Turks can learn spoken Japanese with no problem but their alphabet makes this language hard.

Brummy...

Korean is also easier for us both pronunciation and grammar structure Also it's alphabet is not that difficult..These Turkish guys mastered in spoken Korean appearantly.
