Will there be 2nd attempt?
Turkey will stay unwashed forever.

>try to reform and remove Arab words from language
Why did he call the Turkey's Republic Turkiye cumhüryeti and didn't coin a word from Turkic roots, or at least use Republika?
>>75267967
>in the long run turns non too productive
How? It is at least better than the clusterfuck of persian alphabet
>>75268075
There is turkic/mongolic word for state "mamlakat".
>>75268096
if you think persian version of abjad is fucked,check out urdu one.
>>75268252
LOL mamlaka/mamlakat is an Arabic word meaning Kingdom.
From the Semitic root word m-l-k (m-l-kh for Hebrew), meaning King.
Cumhüryet is of course also Arabic in origin, meaning Republic.
>>75268252
Its Arabic actually. Compare Swahili mamlaka
>>75268418
At least they say Turkiye,not Turkestan then.
>>75268655
He should've coined a calque, like Arabs did.
Ill coin one example
Açık(open/public) + şey(thing) is a calque of Republic.
So a good word would have been Açıkşeyta or Açıkşeh
>>75268252
Turkic: el/il
Mongolic: ulus
>>75268813
>şey
That's Arabic in origin too lol.
>>75268925
Is there turkic salute phrase or you all use salam aleykum?
>>75269137
Let me rephrase then
He should've coined a calque, like Arabs did.
Ill coin one example
Açık(open/public) + nen(thing) is a calque of Republic.
So a good word would have been Açıknenta or Açıknen
Vucic is the Ataturk of Serbia, prove me wrong
>>75268075
Well that also puzzles me. Considering his acts I would except him to name country "Türkeli" and in long form "Türkeli Respublikası". They were even using Old Turkic letters in classrooms.
>>75269162
We mostly use 'Sälem!' nowadays
But there is archaic Cuman 'Esen!', 'Esensiñ ba?'
>>75269525
The biggest puzzle is why he kept crescent instead of putting wolf or something tengric
>>75269876
Ïsnt cresent And star found in Göktürk ruins
>>75269983
Will never know if it was tengric or not,but it's more likely arabic one.
>>75270218
It's more Tengric
>>75270218
>Arabic
More like Europian actually, it related to Sun and moon adoring
>>75270218
>>75269876
>more likely arabic one
Arabs didn't have any symbols as it was banned in Islam. Crescent was the symbol of Constantinople and sky is important for Turkic Culture in general. It can be anything but arabic.
>>75270285
Europeans didn't use sky elements in their symbolism.
>>75270419
>Europeans didn't use sky elements in their symbolism.
Early Croats used sky elements in their symbolism. The northern star and the crescent specifically
>>75270285
What? Semitic religions, especially Islam and Judaism, are all about moon love.
How is moon love European?
Never really get the mongol thing among turks. They look like arabs, not slanted eyes middle-asians
>>75270419
Illyrians worshipped Sun and Starts. Even their name is related with Stars.
>>75270499
>Semitic religions, especially Islam and Judaism, are all about moon love
Wrong
>>75270459
>Croats
>Europeans
Wasn't there a bigger Byzantian influence on Croats?

Not until around 10th century when we accepted christianity. It was period of Greek/Anatolia pre islamic influence but it was quite short since we leaned on Italians and catholicism after 1054.
