AW: wer kann rund 1500 Wörter übersetzen?
trotzdem bin ich sicher, dass eine Laien-Übersetzung sofort wertvoll wäre, weil sie vielen Menschen sofort leichte Sprachen-Vergleiche wie Farsi-Türkisch oder Arabisch-Türkisch oder Französisch-Türkisch oder O- bzw. W-Armenisch-Türkisch ermöglichen tät, da Türkisch sehr viele starke Fremdeinflüsse kennt. ausserdem werden da Vokabel angeboten, die für Türkischlernende in der ganzen Welt, auch Zentral-Europa, Asien, hochinteressant sind, auch wenn man keine wissenschaftliche Ziele verfolgt!
Unfortunately on this subject my German is failing me, so I need to continue the discussion in English. You may answer in German, I have no problem understanding, but rather expressing it.
Back to the subject. You say that any normal Otto can enter here. This is simply not possible, linguistics is already a highly debated subject at universities. Particularly central asia and the Ural-Altaic language group is highly debated. Central Asia is a melting pot, and linguists made serious mistakes on the way, even the term Ural-Altaic is a very loose definition as a language group and many say it should be termed more specifically. Nowadays linguists go more by the DNA studies conducted there to specify the language and linguistic anthropology.
For Turkish, the influences are not only persian or arabic as you say. You need to go way more back to Scythian and even Chinese. A turcologist needs to know at least a couple of the languages spoken there to be able to determine any ties.
Just to give you an example, I have identified two words from Scythian that remain unchanged and with the same meaning in Turkish, namely the words "tepe" and "höyük". A normal language user would not be able to know this background, a less competent linguist would claim it is of Oghuz/Köktürk origin.
The core Turkish language is not under so much influence as you think. There are many words that are conservatively preserved together with its original meaning.
There is also another aspect. There are many words that are taken over from the indigenous Anatolian cultures. Particularly from Sumerian and Luwian. Later on from Lydian, Troyan, Phyrigian.
If you want to know the intercultural ties of Turkish, you have to leave that to the linguists. Many languages are not as well researched and established as the Arian, and there have been many centuries of racistic tinges to grouping. It is only the last 10 or so years that Universities have started to free themselves from the yolk of Arian-centric and Greco-/Latin-centric thinking and have realized that history and social anthropology goes way back.
The "normal" user entries would only confuse this. The revolution at the universities havent reached the public yet, it would only reinforce the clouded prejudices that already exist.
