OK Turkey what is this all about?

cywr  popo means ass, but well It is a kind way to say ass.

The decision is ridiculous but the state television itself uses those letters in the Kurdish programs. The reality is that despite the recent freedoms that are provided, the judiciary organ consists of some conservatist people and the executive or legislative organs cannot interfere them since there's the seperation of powers. This is a wrong action done by one court and they should appeal a higher court. If the appealing court doesn't change the decision they can go to ECHR. This is the normal procedure. The government (I'm not saying that they support this or not) cannot interfere the job of the judiciary now.

On the other hand, the usage of the letters "q, w, x" are used in Turkey when quoting from a foreign word and as I said before the state television TRT itself uses these letters in the program in Kurdish. This is a contradiction in the state apparatus. Some people in the judiciary organs use any reason for confining Kurdish nationalists and their faults can only be solved through the appealing process for now.

Originally posted by Bar�� It seems no matter what I say, you will not change your opinion. I will try nevertheless... Kurds are allowed to use their language. But when it comes to issues that concerns the state. Everybody, no matter his ethnicity, must use the official language. Feels like dejavu, how many times must I repeat this?

Count your blessings, you have no idea how lucky you are.

In Bosnia, we have three official languages - Bosnian, Croatian, and Serbian. They're more or less dialects of each other, no different than British, Australian, and American (with A LOT more differences in terms of slang language).

It was not affordable for the government to provide every document in all three languages, so they tried to pass a law requiring official documents to be produced only in Bosnian. This, of course, caused a protest from Bosnian Croats and Bosnian Serbs.

So they decided to combine all three into one language. For example, a word like "news" would be written:

v(ij)esti.

But this pissed off Bosniaks and Bosnian Croats because our languages are the ones that require more letters to produce the same sounds as Serbian, so it looks like the document is written in Serbian with Croatian and Bosnian added in brackets as an afterthought.

So we continue to produce everything in three languages, where if you go through each document it'd have to be 500 pages of interviews with villagers quoted in slang to have even a single notable difference.

So, while 10 years after the war families still sleep in shacks on airport runways around the country waiting for their homes to be returned to them, we spend our money on this.
