Turkish is one of the youngest and rapidly developing languages; furthermore approximately 80 million people speak Turkish as a mother language in the world. 1928 was a very crucial year for the development of the Modern Turkish language because Latin alphabet adopted instead of Arabic script and after this transition numerous events sequentially shape the Turkish language.

A Study into the Turkish Community and Language as Their Indentity I have chosen to conduct a study into the Turkish community and language as their identity. As being Turkish myself, I have an interest in this topical area and feel I have the ability to relate and recognise some of the issues that will come out from it. Using my own experiences, I feel I’ll have the certainty to understand and the advantage of having the capability to relate to my respondents, to build the necessary rapport
common language beneath one nation; it also includes the body language as well as the tone language. Language is of great significance for the living society in a country. A nation has a common culture, a common history and a common language. The language is likely having a profound effect on success of the country, especially when it comes to the literature. The literature of a country can make the language known all over the world. Therefore it is very important to save and keep the language of a
all day long. I was constantly buying ice creams, just to keep cool. Every day I was awakened by the same sound. It was the big tourist boats revving up their engines. Every morning I would sit on my elegantly decorated balcony, and watch the Turkish men setting up everything at the harbour. What show-offs they were! They would stand on their boats posing, with their shirts off and wearing fake designer sunglasses. The people were quite friendly however, even though they loved themselves.

It would seem a natural outgrowth of such a view as to suggest that Turkish membership in the EU as fitting, given a Turkey being, in this view, a nation
Melungeons were descendants of abandoned Portuguese and Spanish settlers. The English word Melungeon has both Arabic and Turkish roots, meaning "cursed soul." Also in Portuguese, "Melungo" means shipmate. In the Turkish language Melungeons are called Melun-can, "Melun" being a borrowed word from Arabic meaning one that carries bad luck and ill omen.

The great desire of this society which is adopted in the

the island of Cyprus. While it would be convenient to refer to it as the country of Cyprus, only half of the island is considered such by the rest of the world. Since 1974, Cyprus has been divided, Turkish Cypriots in the north and Greek Cypriots in the South. On March 18, 2011 the leaders of Turkish Cyprus and Greek Cyprus met to talk about unification. 4 Despite the efforts, it can be argued that while reunification might seem plausible, it is not probable. The difference b... ... middle of
like: should the Zurich-London Agreements be upheld? Did those agreements provide a viable solution to the Cyprus problem at the first place? If not, how could a new political settlement be justified and presented to the affected parties (Turkey and Turkish-Cypriots)? What guarantees could be given to the affected parties for future developments? How committed could the international community be in long-term in providing the necessary guarantees? If such commitments were not upheld by the guarantor
island of Cyprus is the homeland of two distinct peoples: the Turkish Cypriots and Greek Cypriots. Their relationship is not one of a majority and minority, but one of equal partnership. The Turkish Cypriots speak Turkish, are Muslims and share the culture of their motherland, Turkey. The Greek Cypriots, on the other hand, speak Greek, are Orthodox Christians and profess the culture of their motherland Greece. After more than 300 years of Turkish rule, the island came under British influence in 1878, but
Adjustment and Self-awareness Being a part of the military was a part of my dreams since my childhood, and my dreams came true when I became a midshipman in the Turkish Naval High School. I managed to be an international midshipman in the USNA when I prevailed among all of my classmates. I was successful, but inefficient and exhausted. In other words, I was putting effort in academics and leadership, and in everything more than normal. What I realized is that “Knowing yourself is the beginning of

the enchanted Turkish Delight,“At first Edmund tried to remember that it is rude to speak with one’s mouth full, but soon he forgot about this and thought only of trying to shovel down as much Turkish Delight as he could” (38). The Turkish Delight has negatively affected him and is part of the reason he loses his manners. When he starts to speak with his mouth open, he has lost his manners and his awareness of his self. This is due, partially because he is possessed by the Turkish Delight. Edmund
Afghanistan was used as a buffer zone during the Great Game by Soviet Union and the Great Britain. They did not provide Afghanistan with the means to industrialize and that is why Afghanistan remains subsistence agriculture and a reinter state. With the decline of Colonialism after the Third Angola-Afghan war Afghanistan declared Independent (Barfield). When Amanullah Khan seized the throne he was very enthusiastic to develop a strong and modern state. Before Amanullah Khan only some effort had been
