I JUST RECEIVED MY SWEET HOLY BOOK TODAY. I WAS PRAYING THAT IT WOULD BE A SIMILAR ONE TO THE ONE I'VE BEEN JUST USING ONLINE, THE ACCURACY OF THE VERSES MATCHED OVERALL. I'M HAPPY AND CAN'T WAIT TO READ IT ALL THE WAY THROUGH SINCE I'M CRAVING FOR IT. LOVE THE HARD COVER TOO AND YES IT WAS A GOOD PRICE THANKS A LOT! PLEASE COULD YOU ALSO REFER ME TO A GREEK/TURKISH PARALLEL RESOURCE FROM THE EARLY TIMES, THE MOST RELIABLE I WOULD REALLY REALLY APPRECIATE IT:)

Turkish is spoken as a native language by over 83 million people worldwide, making it the most commonly spoken of the Turkic languages. Its speakers are located predominantly in Turkey and Northern Cyprus with smaller groups in Iraq, Greece, Bulgaria, the Republic of Macedonia, Kosovo, Albania and other parts of Eastern Europe. Turkish is also spoken by several million immigrants in Western Europe, particularly in Germany.
The roots of the language can be traced to Central Asia, with the first known written records dating back nearly 1,300 years. To the west, the influence of Ottoman Turkish--the variety of the Turkish language that was used as the administrative and literary language of the Ottoman Empire--spread as the Ottoman Empire expanded. In 1928, as one of Atatürk's Reforms in the early years of the Republic of Turkey, the Ottoman script was replaced with a phonetic variant of the Latin alphabet. Concurrently, the newly founded Turkish Language Association initiated a drive to reform the language by removing Arabic and Persian loanwords in favor of native variants and coinages from Turkic roots.
