Turkish
Turkish is the most widely spoken Turkic language with over 75 million native speakers in and around Turkey. Learn modern Turkish and you will be able to communicate with the inhabitants of Turkey, several million people indigenous to Northern Cyprus, the Aegean Islands, Ukraine, Bulgaria, and other parts of the Balkans, and a few million members of the more recently founded Turkish communities in countries such as Britain, Australia, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, and other Western countries. You will also be able to get by in Turkish with over 100 million speakers of closely related Turkic languages in such ex-Soviet Turkic countries as Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan.
