Turkish border countries

Turkey is bordered by eight countries: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Georgia, Greece, Iran, Iraq and Syria. Bulgaria and Greece border each other as well to the northwest of Turkey. Armenia is in-between Georgia and Azerbaijan to the east of Turkey. Iran is just south of Azerbaijan and next to Iraq.

List of the languages in Turkish

The names of the languages in Turkish are listed below.

In Turkish, the name of the nation is usually the same as the name of the language it belongs to. The people who live in the countries and the languages they speak are usually same and the name of the language is constructed by adding suffix;  "çe or "ça". But this is not a rule.

What language do you speak? / Hangi dili konuşuyorsun?

I speak Turkish. / Ben Türkçe konuşuyorum.
