'''Turkish''' (''Turkce'') is an [[Altaic language]] of the Turkic subgroup. It is spoken by the entirety of the country of [[Turkey]] and by a number of Turks living around the world.
Until [[Kemal Ataturk]] became the first President of Turkey, Turkish was written in the Arabic alphabet. Ataturk changed the script to the [[Latin alphabet]], in an effort to increase literacy. However, Turkish still has a lot of [[Arabic language|Arabic]] loanwords.
