Turkey adding Persian, Korean and Urdu to foreign languages offered at schools

[KediKesenFare3]

Usually, we don't have communication problems with Azeriler from Azerbaijan. They may speak a different accent but they use very similar vocabulary. Thanks to TV shows and Internet, people in Azerbaijan are steadily learning Anatolian Turkish in the recent years. İt's more 'sosyetik' for them to speak İstanbul Turkish.
However, in case of Southern Azeris it depends on the region. Sometimes I understand them without any problems but in other cases I would prefer talking in English rather than talking in Turkish. They often understand us better than the other way around.

But I have to admit that Azerice and Turkish are becoming more and more similar to each other through linguistic, cultural and political connections and exchanges in this region.

But generally, Azerice sounds very raw and rural to me. I like this genuineness.

In this vid, the difference between North and South Azeri is really small.

Actually Turkish grammar is closer to Korean than Persian or Urdu.

Indo-European languages

Altaic Languages

He is Azeri thats why, you would be surprised to know how many people in Iran would understand you.

Both language families are "Eurasiatic":

unfortune azeri and uzbek language has big persian influence in the sound of the language.. uzbek for excample is far more into persian sound.. sometimes it sounds like turkish with persian accent and uzbek sounds like uygur with havy persian accent

i am learning Chinese in my university and it is damn difficult . I think Korean will be difficult alike . Persian and Urdu will be easy to learn considering the interlinkage b/w these languages and Turkish .

Future business lingo in Asia.

What's unfortunate about that? Uzbek sounds beautiful in my opinion.

I hope you realize that the Turkish language isn't pure Turkic either.

Pure Turkic sounds very guttural. I bet you won't be able to pronounce some of the letters/sounds lol.

English is no doubt going to remain the most important language in the world. It's the language of globalization and future generations.

Chinese is increasingly becoming a very important language in the Far East (i.e. East Asia and Southeast Asia) as well as in some parts of Africa.

As for French, don't underestimate it. The French language will grow in importance in the coming decades as the percentage of French-speaking Africans in the world continues to increase.

But French lingo used to dominate the West , not anymore. May be German animosity bring this lingo down.

True, but French is poised to make a comeback due to the rapidly growing population of Francophone Africans around the world.

Africa is where future economic growth will take place, and most of Africa will be speaking French.

So the 3 languages of the future are English, French and Chinese.

[50cent]

Indians and Pakistanis speak the same language?!

Yes

 

[lastofthepatriots]

Yes

Not exactly. Indians can't understand us when we speak our language formally.

 

[Kuwaiti Girl]

Indians and Pakistanis speak the same language?!

Technically, yes. It's called "Hindi-Urdu".

They simply use different scripts in Pakistan and India.

Indians speak like a dozen of languages.

Do you mean language or in general? I think they have some issues with separatism in the south.
