===[[Turkic languages]]===

Note that some Turkic languages like [[Azerbaijani language|Azeri]] and [[Turkmen language|Turkmen]] use a similar [[Latin alphabet]] (often [[Jaŋalif]]) and similar words, and might be confused with Turkish.
Azeri has the letters Əə, Xx and Qq not present in the Turkish alphabet, and Türkmen has Ää, Žž, Ňň, Ýý and Ww.
Latin Characters uniquely (or nearly uniquely) used for Turkic languages: Əə, Ŋŋ, Ɵɵ, Ьь, Ƣƣ, Ğğ, İ, and ı.
All Turkic languages can form long words by adding multiple suffixes.

=====Misc.=====
*The letter "j" is only used in loanwords.
*Words never begin with "ğ"
*Look for common word endings. Tense changes in Turkish verbs are created by adding suffixes to the end of the verb. Pluralizations occur by adding ''-lar'' and ''-ler''.
**Common Tense Changes: ''-yor'' ''-mış'' ''-muş''  ''-sun''
**Possessivity/person: ''-im'' ''-un'' ''-ın'' ''-in'' ''-iz'' ''-dur'' ''-tır''
**Example: ''Yap'''tı ''''', "[He] did it"; ''Yap'' is the verb stem meaning "to do", ''-mış'' indicates the perfect tense, ''-tır'' indicates the third person (he/she/it).
**Example: [[Adalar|''Ada'''lar''''']], "Islands"; ''Ada'' is a noun meaning "island", ''-lar'' makes it plural.)
**Example: ''Ev'''imiz''''', "Our house"; ''Ev'' is a noun meaning "house", ''-im'' indicates the first-person possessor, which ''-iz'' then makes plural.)

====[[Azerbaijani language|Azeri]] ([[:az:Azərbaycan_dili|Azərbaycanca]])====
Azeri can be easily recognized by the frequent use of ''[[ə]]''. This letter is not used in any other officially recognized modern Latin alphabet. In addition, it uses the letters ''x'' and ''q'', which are not used in Turkish.

*Common words: ''və'', ''ki'', ''ilə'', ''bu'', ''o'', ''isə'', ''görə'', ''da'', ''də''
*Frequent use of diacritics: ''ç'', ''ğ'', ''ı'', ''İ'', ''ö'', ''ş'', ''ü''
*Words ending in ''-lar'', ''-lər'', ''-ın'', ''-in'', ''-da'', ''-də'', ''-dan'', ''-dən''
*Words never beginning with ''ğ'' or ''ı''
*Words rarely beginning with two or more consonants
*Transliteration of foreign words and names, e.g. ''Audrey Hepburn'' = ''Odri Hepbern''
