Turkish is a Turkic language, spoken by around 78 million people, and is the official language of Turkey.

Turkish is an agglutinative language, which means that it forms words by attaching various prefixes and suffixes to a base word or root. This feature results in long words that can convey complex meanings. The language follows a subject-object-verb (SOV) word order, which is different from the subject-verb-object (SVO) order commonly found in English and other Indo-European languages.
