Talk:Turkish language

Two remarks

• In History section it seems an earlier reference to Turkish had been deleted. But the next sentence had been left untouched: ...Orkhon inscriptions... between 732 and 735, constitute another important early record.... If there is no previous reference, how can Orkhun inscriptions be called another early record ?
• The subsection verbs certainly deserves more attention. The most powerful tool of Turkish is the number of tenses. In the article only the 9 simple tenses have been shown. But most of them can have 3 more time forms (Turkish: Bileşik zaman) making the number of tenses 29. Since most of these can also take the so called combined forms (Turkish: Bileşik fiil) the number of tenses may exceed 100. At least the names of these cases should have been mentioned.

Word Order

One very important feature of Turkish language is missing from the article, which is the complete flexibility in word order in poetic or emotionally charged language. As the example in the article goes, one can use limited variations of "Hakan okula gitti" to stress different facts (stressing school or Hakan), but a mother who sent his son away to a boarding school might say "Hakanım gitti okula" (My Hakan went to school), "Gitti Hakan okula," "Okula gitti Hakan," "Gitti okula Hakan," or any other variation with perfectly acceptable grammar structure, often, but not necessarily stressing different aspects of the emotion (that he is gone, that he is gone, that he is gone to school, that he is gone to school, to school he is gone, etc.) .

Somehow the square brackets are in the wrong place, I left out Holland, since it is a synonym for the Netherlands, which is mentioned already. Thank you, Eric Horzel (talk) 20:08, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
