Everything You Need To Learn Turkmen
Turkmen is a Turkic language spoken by about 6 million people in the countries of Turkmenistan and Afghanistan. It’s closely related to Turkish and Azerbaijani, and considered to be mutually intelligible with them.
The language is part of the Altaic language family, and is written using three different writing systems, depending on where in the world the language is used. In Turkmenistan, a modified version of the Latin alphabet is used; in Iran, the Arabic script is used; and, in Afghanistan, both the Arabic and Cyrillic scripts are used.
