I'm a foreigner and i live in Istanbul now when i was a 17 i listened to my first Turkish music and i can say i felt in love with the language so easy and i kept listening more and more and now I'm 21 came here to understand the language and i still find it fascinating just the way u hear Turkish people speak and how they have good hearts and they treat u good makes u love the language more and there's some similarities with Arabic so it will be easy to me to learn more of the language

Turkish language has nothing to do with arabic.
Turkish is an altaic language. We Turks are not arab and have no relation with arabs. Arabic and Turkish dont even belong to same language family. Closest language to Turkish is mongolian.
And also go back to syria. Turkey for Turks.

Turkish is in the Uralic-Altaic language group/family which includes Finnish, Hungarian, Estonian, Mongolian, Tungus-Manchu and Lapp languages, plus many others. I have never heard any of these languages being spoken including never hearing Turkish before. Never heard anything like it, Turkish is a nice sounding language. All I can pickup from hearing this is a Eastern Mediteranean accent.

Thanks bro. Its good to see a foreigner who is aware that we Turks are not arab and know that we came from central asia and related to altaic people.
Usually ın this kind of questions people are comparing us with arabs and its making us mad.

Definitely better than German; but it is all gibberish to me. I don't have an ear for languages.
