Re: TSR Iraqi SocietyI really liked Kurdish - such a beautiful language. Turkish is just strange though, kinda Arabic (but not) in latin script. I forgot that there are Kurds all over the place (even in Syria, apparently(Original post by Neville 'Facking' Bartos)
Kurdish is quite a strange language. There are several dialects. The Latin script is used in Turkey (since the Turks use Latin letters as well). Iran and Iraq use the Persian-Arabic script. But since there is several dialects, it can be difficult for an Iranian Kurd to communicate with a Turkish Kurd and vice-versa in Kurdish due to the varied dialects.
I agree with Dirac that Persian is not that a difficult language to learn (especially if you are well grounded in Arabic or even another European language).
- seems everyone there is Palestinian or Kurdish, or anything except bloody Syrian!) so of course it makes sense that Turkish kurds might write in latin script... Suffice to say my only exposure to Kurdish was in Iraqi-Kurdistan.
I really hope that Farsi is easier than Arabic - I want to pick it up because it's a useful language to know, but also rather cynically, as I'd like to pick up a few easy marks next year!
That'll teach you to drive too close to military convoys then, won't it?(Original post by Whatever9999)
Well that wouldnt make any difference ,,,, they destroyed our country and it will take at least 20 years to fix the disaster !!!
Thanks to their beautiful troops i remember when they hit our car while my mum was driving and the reason was cuz we came a bit too close which is 100 meter
(except that didn't really happen, did it. Really?) -

Re: TSR Iraqi SocietyNo it isn't. It's an Altaic ----> Turkic language, which isn't related to the Indo-European and Semitic languages. It's used different alphabets to express itself on 'paper', as it were. Modern Turkish uses the Latin alphabet.(Original post by FiveFiveSix)
Turkish is just strange though, kinda Arabic (but not) in latin script.
The 'original' language, as it were, does not cover every "object" obviously such as a bus, a station, a book, hence it borrows lots of French and Arabic words.
Thank you. -

Re: TSR Iraqi SocietyModern Turkish would be related to Azeri, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, and other Turkich languages. Turkic languages are related to Mongolic languages, and in turn, both are part of the Altaic language family.(Original post by FiveFiveSix)
Hence the 'kinda'.
Arabic falls under the Semitic language family. This group also includes Hebrew.

I'm aware Arabic is semetic, and Turkish isn't, but that's about as far as I really need to go down that road.
Thank you. -

Re: TSR Iraqi Society(Original post by Whatever9999)
Yes of course
yes it did ,it was aimed at my mum's face but unfortunately the windows didnt break and nothing happened then he put up his middle finger and started laughing as if it was a joke
God ,and i remember once we were driving and there was a huge traffic jam so a big american truck wanted to go through and it couldnt ,so they started shouting and saying if u cant get through we will drive on ur cars cuz we can't wait for more than 5 min and the horrible part was we couldnt run out of the car cuz they will just shoot us to death and then my little sister and i started crying we thought we were gonna die ,,imagine if u were stuck in a car and u can see a big army troop is coming towards u and u will actually get squashed to death
so my dad just wanted to get us out so what he did was he put his head up and said "we are not gonna die", and then he drove the fastest he can and thanks god we made it and got out.I remember seeing the cars behind us being squashed some people just got out of their cars and were killed
btw this is just a day in baghdad,iraq
