Knowing Turkish, you only have to make a relatively small effort to understand other Turkic languages such as Azeri, Turkmen, Tatar, Uzbek, Kazakh, Kyrgyz. The best way to achieve this is by reading (and listening to) documents in these languages. This page wants to provide you with the opportunity to get in contact with Turkic languages on the Web. Documents are selected solely from a linguistic point of view.

Miscellaneous

Tughluq (1996): "For a native Uighur, Uzbek and Kazakh languages are easily understood; he doesn't need a translator to exchange ideas with an Uzbek or Kazakh as far as spoken language is concerned. The same Uighur person will have difficulty in understanding a native Turk or an Azeri in the beginning, but if he or she is willing to listen to a couple of audio tapes and make little effort in learning, they are capable of learning the language in a very short time."
