Re: Anybody into linguistics?

Wikipedia is really helpful with this topic.

Some linguistic info about Turkish:

It's agglutinative - meaning it suffixes like crazy. You could have a thirty or forty or infinite letter word that is in fact a sentence and a word.
For example the sentence-word " Çekoslovakyalılaştırabildiklerimizden misiniz? " means "Are you one of those people whom we made resemble the people from Czechoslovakia?"

Agglutination is a key characterisitic of Uralic and Altaic languages. Japanese and Korean too, some linguists consider them to be Altaic languages (Turkish is also Altaic) but are not as agglutinative as the Turkic languages are.

Finnish, Estonian and Hungarian are Uralic languages that agglutinate like the Altaic languages.
