Mutual Intelligibility of Turkic language

 

we use also in exact meaning.

 

Uni sotta kim aqlaydu? ( who will defend him at the court?)

 

We call lawyer Aqlighuchi. But Advokat is also used.

 

BTW, for banan we use soymaq for peeling.

 

 

Silah replaced yaraq in 18th century and yaraq began to mean a penis, in a very vulgar emphasis.

 

Intersting. We use qoral-yaraq for amunition as a general term.

For penis we have many different terms. Haya is the most commonly used one, but in the book zeker (Arabic) is used.

 

You will laugh if you have never heard this, we use Chuchaq for penis of little kids.

 

Bala is used for kids or children.

 

I checked my source books. (Old Anatolian Turkish, Anatolian Seljukid period):Korashun>(Middle Anatolian Turkish, Ottoman period):Korushun>(Late Ottoman Period  and on)Kurshun is initially a metal name in Anatolian Turkish That metal is lead. Later it began to mean bullet, because bullet was made of lead. Guess what was used before this change. Let me say: Oq both for arrow and bullet.

 

We still use Qoghushun for lead. Tuch is something mixed with it.

Mis for copper.

T�m�r for iron.

Qeley for tin.

 

 

The most original one is Turkmen. Azerbaijani Turkish is full of Arabic, Persian and Russian loanwords. Anatolian Turkish has many English and French loanwords alongside Arabic and Persia. Also grammar of Turkish spoken in Anatolia has seriously damaged in comparison the other two.

Turkmen palatalize the S and Z so it can be difficult for Anatolian Turks who are originally Turkmens as a matter of fact.

Azeri and Turkmen are so close that mutual intelligibiklity goes upto 90%

 

So answer to your question should be yes.

But I have to say that also Qazaq and Qyrgyz are also the closest ones. They also have 90 % mutual intelligibility with each other.

The same for Uyghur and Uzbek.

The same for Tatar and Bashkurd.

 

Turkish languages have common words about 40,000, their grammar matches 60 %. We could also standardized our languages. But our territories were invaded and occupied by Russians and the Chinese, and they divided TURKESTAN into two parts. Initially they gave the names West Turkestan(Russian Turkestan) and East Turkestan(Chinese Turkestan) and then to make people forget the name of Turk they changed these names into Cental Asia(Russian Turkestan) and XINKIANG(Chinese Turkestan). That was not enough Russians divided West Turkestan into five new states according to Turkish tribal organizations. That was also not enough. They forbade the Chaghatai Turkish ( common standardized Turkic language of Turkestan) and Arabo Turkish script and then decided to standardize four different languages for four different Turkish state. Different versions of Cyrilic wirting system applied to each one. Even when reading, it became impossible to understand each standard language to a full extent. Because these new languages were created from the most remote dialects of each region. Russians ordered to make up a new word: Turkic instead of Turkish( most of Turkish languages do not diffrentiate between Turkish and Turkic.) Turkish would refer to only Anatolian Turks, and Turkic to Turkestan Turks . Turkic seems to mean similar to Turks but not Turk. But all the Turkestani people except local Tajiks were all Turks in deed perhaps more Turks than Anatolian Turks

Nevertheless, Turkishness has not died . Most of Qazaq, Kyrgyz Uzbek Turkmen Azerbaijani people have the awareness of Turkishness.

 

 

 

But all in cases, many linguists refers as dialects to these three so called languages.

 

 

I don't see what is holding them back, it wouldn't be such a hard task all it would take is a joint comission it doesn't even need Government backing to begin with, it could begin as an NGO, you and a group of other acedemics could contact groups of academics in the Turkic countries and make a community to do this.

 

It would be wonderfull your correct, for example now one can learn Fusha Standard Arabic (modern) you can go from Oman to Morroco and speak the taught Arabic.

 

If there are many people who want this you should lobby and push for it as it would be beneficiary for the region.
