Hakan Çalhanoğlu talks up Turkey

Saturday 11 June 2016 by Çetin Cem Yılmaz

Midfielder Hakan Çalhanoğlu says Turkey have been "waiting impatiently" for their opening game against Croatia – and believes "showing our talent" will give them a good shot at glory.

Hakan Çalhanoğlu on ... a long wait
We've been waiting impatiently for this day to come. This will be a big day, for all our country. We are ready for the match and we've prepared well. We've done what was necessary; our coach Fatih Terim has prepared us well and we feel good. Now let's hope we get a good result.
Hakan Çalhanoğlu on ... the preparation period
We've gone 14 or 15 matches with only one defeat. As a team, we've developed very well. I am hoping that, against good opposition, we can maintain the same team spirit on the field. We shouldn't forget that Croatia are tough opponents. But if we play in our own style, if we show our talent, we have a good shot.

Hakan Çalhanoğlu on ... Turkey's match winners
There are lots of players with that capability. Anyone can do anything on the pitch, including me. I hope we're lucky enough for that opportunity to arise. We'd like to keep going beyond the group and we are hoping to get three points.
Hakan Çalhanoğlu on ... his free-kick technique
Of course there have been players I’ve looked up to in the past. I love David Beckham and Juninho Pernambucano. But now I have found my own style.
Hakan Çalhanoğlu on ... the tournament prospects
All the UEFA EURO 2016 groups are difficult. Spain might look like the favourites in ours but for me anything can happen in this group. All the members of our team take great pleasure in playing for Turkey. We have young players and experienced ones. We have a good atmosphere within the squad.

Overview. Turkic languages originated in the steppes of Central Asia from where they were carried west by nomadic peoples to reach Turkey and the Balkans, and north and east advancing into European Russia and Siberia. Comprising some thirty members and spoken by more than 160 million people, they are of the agglutinating type and typologically quite similar.

Distribution. Turkic languages are distributed over a vast territory ranging from eastern Europe to east Siberia and China. Their core area is in Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Xinjiang in China) from where they spread west to northern Iran and the South Caucasus, Turkey and part of the Balkans, and to the north into European and Asiatic Russia straddling the Volga, Ob and Yenisei rivers reaching northeast Siberia and the Arctic Ocean.

External Classification. The external classification of Turkic languages is disputed. Many scholars consider them one of the three subfamilies of the Altaic family (the other two are Tungusic and Mongolic). However, the parallelisms between Turkic, Mongolic and Tungusic are too few, according to others, to support the unity of Altaic and, therefore, they may be independent families.

Internal Classification. In contrast, there is agreement regarding the internal classification of Turkic. It is divided into six branches:

1. 1.The Southwestern or Oghuz branch contains a western group comprising Turkish, Gagauz, and Azerbaijanian and an eastern group comprising Turkmen and Khorasani Turkic. The Salar language of China seems to be Oghuz in origin but during its eastward migration it acquired features from northwestern and southeastern languages.
   

2. 2.The Northwestern or Kipchak branch has a western group comprising Kumyk, Karachay-Balkar, Crimean Tatar, and Karaim, a northern group comprising Tatar and Bashkir, and a southern group comprising Kazakh, Karakalpak, Kipchak Uzbek (considered a dialect of Kazakh), Nogai, and Kirghiz (Kyrgyz).

3. 3.The Southeastern or Uyghur-Karluk branch has a western group represented by Uzbek and an eastern group represented by Uyghur.

4. 4.The Northeastern or Siberian branch has a southern heterogeneous group comprising Tuvan (Tuva), Karagas (Tofa),  Khakas, Shor, Chulym, Altai, Yellow Uyghur (West Yugur) and a northern group comprising Yakut (Sakha) and Dolgan.

5. 5.Chuvash situated in the northwestern area (in the Volga region).

6. 6.Khalaj situated in the southwestern area (northwest Iran).
   

Speakers. The total number of Turkic speakers is close to 164 million. The following is a complete list of living Turkic languages with their number of speakers and distribution:

Oldest Documents. They appear in the territory of the second Türk empire, written in Old Turkic with the native 'runic' script. The earliest are engraved in an ensemble of four stone stelae erected, between 720 and 735, in the Orkhon valley (northern Mongolia) in honor of several rulers (the king Kaghan Bilge, his brother the prince Kol Tegin and their commander Tonyuquq). They tell about the origins of the Turks, their subjugation by the Chinese and subsequent liberation by Bilge.

SHARED FEATURES

1. ✦ Phonology
2. -Syllable structure. Most syllables have a (C)V(C) structure i.e. they contain a vowel that may be preceded by an initial consonant and/or followed by a final consonant. Initial consonant clusters are avoided as well as vowel hiatus (two adjacent vowels in different syllables).

1. -Vowels. Many Turkic languages (Turkish among them) have a completely symmetrical vowel system regarding height (4 high and 4 low vowels), frontness (4 front and 4 back), and roundness (4 unrounded and 4 rounded):
   

                       

1. The symbols are those current in writing, when they differ from those of the International Phonetic Alphabet the latter are indicated between brackets.

1. Some languages (Turkmen, Khalaj, Yakut) exhibit a phonemic contrast between short and long vowels; those in the Volga region (Chuvash, Bashkir, Tatar) have reduced vowels.

1. -Consonants. Most Turkic languages have a contrast between voiceless and voiced stops and fricatives, though a few others, like Chuvash, have only voiceless ones. They are usually articulated at four or five places: labial, dental-alveolar, palatal, velar and uvular-glottal. Gagauz and Karaim have palatalized consonants acquired by Slavic influence.

1. -Sound harmony. It is widespread in Turkic. The most general type is intrasyllabic affecting the vowel and consonant(s) of a given syllable. The whole syllable is classified as front or back; in front syllables only front vowels and front consonants are allowed; in back syllables the opposite is true.
2. There is also an intersyllabic type of harmony in which words tend to consist of syllables produced with either a back or a front tongue position. In some languages, like Yakut and Kirghiz, harmony may be extended to vowel roundness.

1. -Accent. Turkic languages have a pitch accent (increase of the tone height), which tends to fall on the last syllable. Some suffixes are accentable while others are not. There is also a stress accent which tends to fall on the first syllable.

1. ✦ Morphology
2. It is agglutinative and suffixing. Stems are expanded by adding unchangeable and clear-cut monosyllabic suffixes, of which many serve to express grammatical notions. Morphology is regular and predictable and there is little or no fusion between morphemes. There are virtually no prefixes. The order of suffixes is rigidly established, derivational suffixes preceding inflectional ones. Each added suffix tends to modify the whole preceding stem.

1. Nominal
2. -Nouns are marked for number, possession and case (in that order). There are no grammatical genders.

1. -The plural number is usually marked with the suffix lar/ler.

1. -Possession may be indicated by possessive suffixes or by independent possessive pronouns (genitive of personal and demonstrative pronouns). The latter are usually employed for emphasis. Demonstrative pronouns distinguish three deictic degrees (proximal, intermediate, and distal).

1. -There are six general cases: nominative (unmarked), accusative, genitive, dative, locative and ablative. Not all Turkic languages have this whole six-case system. For example, Yakut lacks genitive and locative but has a partitive case; in Chuvash the dative and accusative have merged; in Kumyk, Karachai-Balkar and in some Uzbek dialects the accusative and the genitive have merged. Other, subsidiary, cases are: equative ('like'), terminative ('until'), comitative (company), instrumental ('by means of'), directive ('towards'), etc.

1. -Adjectives are morphologically similar to nouns. Intensive adjectives may be formed by reduplication of the first syllable.

1. -Superlatives are formed by adding particles meaning ‘most' or 'best'; comparatives are expressed by particles meaning ‘more' or by putting the standard of comparison in the ablative case.

1. -There is an indefinite article (identical to number one) but no definite articles. Demonstratives can, sometimes, act as such.

1. Verbal
   
2. -To the verb root derivational suffixes can be added to build up the verb stem conferring causative, reflexive, negative, passive meanings, etc. To the stem, tense/aspect suffixes and personal endings usually follow. The first and second persons are marked by personal suffixes, the third person is usually unmarked.

1. -Non-finite forms include infinitives, participles, and verbal adverbs (converbs).

1. ✦ Syntax
2. -Word order is Subject-Object-Verb in Turkic languages. They are head final, modifiers preceding their head. In the nominal phrase the order is: demonstrative pronoun-cardinal number-adjective-head noun. Attributes do not agree in number or case with their heads.

1. -Postpositions, corresponding to English prepositions, are placed after the words they modify. Conjunctions are used sparingly and most of the existing ones have been borrowed from non-Turkic languages. In genitive constructions the possessor, which is the first element, carries a genitive suffix while the possessed carries a possessive suffix.

Scripts

    Turkic languages have been written with a great variety of scripts in the past (Runic, Uyghur, Brāhmī, Manichean, etc). The Arabic script was used for all Turkic languages after the adoption of Islam and until the beginning of the 20th century when it was replaced in many countries by the Latin or Cyrillic scripts. It is still used in China and Iran.

    In the former territory of the Soviet Union, Cyrillic-based scripts were imposed for all Turkic languages until its dissolution when some of them started a process of change into the Latin alphabet. The latter was introduced in Turkey in 1923.

Turkic languages

The Turkic languages are a language family of at least thirty-five^[2] languages, spoken by Turkic peoples from Southeastern Europe and the Mediterranean to Siberia and Western China. The Turkic languages originated in a region spanning Western China to Mongolia from where it expanded to Central Asia and farther west.^[3]
Turkic languages are spoken as a native language by some 170 million people, and the total number of Turkic speakers, including second-language speakers, is over 200 million.^[4][5][6] The Turkic language with the greatest number of speakers is Turkish, spoken mainly in Anatolia and the Balkans, the native speakers of which account for about 40% of all Turkic speakers.^[3]
Characteristic features of Turkish, such as vowel harmony, agglutination, and lack of grammatical gender, are universal within the Turkic family.^[3] There is also a high degree of mutual intelligibility among the various Oghuz languages, which include Turkish, Azerbaijani, Turkmen, Qashqai, Gagauz, Balkan Gagauz Turkish, and Oghuz-influenced Crimean Tatar.^[7]

Characteristics

See also: Altaic languages

Turkic languages are null-subject languages, have vowel harmony, extensive agglutination by means of suffixes, and lack of grammatical articles, noun classes, and grammatical gender. Subject–object–verb word order is universal within the family.

History

See also: Proto-Turkic language, Turkic peoples, and Turkic migration

The geographical distribution of Turkic-speaking peoples across Eurasia ranges from the North-East of Siberia to Turkey in the West (see picture in the box on the right above).^[8]

Early written records

The first established records of the Turkic languages are the eighth century Orkhon inscriptions by the Göktürks, recording the Old Turkic language, which were discovered in 1889 in the Orkhon Valley in Mongolia. The Compendium of the Turkic Dialects (Divânü Lügati't-Türk), written during the 11th century by Kaşgarlı Mahmud of the Kara-Khanid Khanate, constitutes an early linguistic treatment of the family. The Compendium is the first comprehensive dictionary of the Turkic languages and also includes the first known map of the Turkic speakers' geographical distribution. It mainly pertains to the Southwestern branch of the family.^[9]
The Codex Cumanicus (12th–13th centuries) concerning the Northwestern branch is another early linguistic manual, between the Kipchak language and Latin, used by the Catholic missionaries sent to the Western Cumans inhabiting a region corresponding to present-day Hungary and Romania. The earliest records of the language spoken by Volga Bulgars, the parent to today's Chuvash language, are dated to the 13th–14th centuries.

Geographical expansion and development

With the Turkic expansion during the Early Middle Ages (c. 6th–11th centuries), Turkic languages, in the course of just a few centuries, spread across Central Asia, from Siberia to the Mediterranean. Various terminologies from the Turkic languages have passed into Persian, Hindustani, Russian, Chinese and to a lesser extent, Arabic.^[10]

This section requires expansion. (May 2008)

Classification

For centuries, the Turkic-speaking peoples have migrated extensively and intermingled continuously, and their languages have been influenced mutually and through contact with the surrounding languages, especially the Iranian, Slavic, and Mongolic languages.^[11] This has obscured the historical developments within each language and/or language group, and as a result, there exist several systems to classify the Turkic languages. The modern genetic classification schemes for Turkic are still largely indebted to Samoilovich (1922)^[12] and are mainly based on the development of *d. However, there are still many questions for which ongoing research has not yet found an adequate solution.^{[citation needed]}
The Turkic languages may be divided into six branches:^[13]

• Common Turkic
  • Southwestern (Oghuz Turkic)
  • Northwestern (Kipchak Turkic)
  • Southeastern (Karluk Turkic)
  • Northeastern (Siberian Turkic)
  • Arghu Turkic
• Oghur Turkic

In this classification, Oghur Turkic is also referred to as Lir-Turkic, and the other branches are subsumed under the title of Shaz-Turkic or Common Turkic. It is not clear when these two major types of Turkic can be assumed to have actually diverged.^[14]
With less certainty, the Southwestern, Northwestern, Southeastern and Oghur groups may further be summarized as West Turkic, the Northeastern, Kyrgyz-Kipchak and Arghu (Khalaj) groups as East Turkic.^[15]
Geographically and linguistically, the languages of the Northwestern and Southeastern subgroups belong to the central Turkic languages, while the Northeastern and Khalaj languages are the so-called peripheral languages.

Schema

The following isoglosses are traditionally used in the classification of the Turkic languages:^[13]

• Rhoticisation, e.g. in the last consonant of the word for "nine" *toqqız. This separates the Oghur branch, which exhibits /r/, from the rest of Turkic, which exhibits /z/. In this case, rhoticisation refers to the development of *-/r/, *-/z/, and *-/d/ to /r/,*-/k/,*-/kh/ in this branch.^[16] See Antonov and Jacques (2012) ^[17] on the debate concerning rhotacism and lambdacism in Turkic.
• Intervocalic *d, e.g. the second consonant in the word for "foot" *hadaq
• Word-final -G, e.g. in the word for "mountain" *tāğ
• Suffix-final -G, e.g. in the suffix *lIG, in e.g. *tāğlığ

Additional isoglosses include:

• Preservation of word initial *h, e.g. in the word for "foot" *hadaq. This separates Khalaj as a peripheral language.
• Denasalisation of palatal *ń, e.g. in the word for "moon", *ań

Vocabulary comparison

This section needs attention from an expert on the subject. Please add a reason or a talk parameter to this template to explain the issue with the section. Consider associating this request with a WikiProject. (November 2010)

The following is a brief comparison of cognates among the basic vocabulary across the Turkic language family (about 60 words).
Empty cells do not necessarily imply that a particular language is lacking a word to describe the concept, but rather that the word for the concept in that language may be formed from another stem and is not a cognate with the other words in the row or that a loanword is used in its place.
Also, there may be shifts in the meaning from one language to another, and so the "Common meaning" given is only approximate. In some cases the form given is found only in some dialects of the language, or a loanword is much more common (e.g. in Turkish, the preferred word for "fire" is the Persian-derived ateş, whereas the native od is rare). Forms are given in native Latin orthographies unless otherwise noted.
