they're are millions of people in this world that speak turkish, ive got afgahni friends that speak turkish, uzbek, syria saudi even english
what can i say london is a 'small world'
and yes you are right about the diversities of turkic languages, a similar example could be the difference in the way people speak arabic, saudi arabic is different to lubnan (lebaneese) arabic as it is to cypriot arabic, who i think were decended from the lebansses, were they called maronites??? |

| I think more correct term to choose should be "Turkic languages" not "Turkish" itself, since a Turk hardly understands a Bashkird or an East Turkistani! |
