@@moonrabbit5107n Turkish those sounds were considered more barbaric during Ottoman times since it was connected to lower class/nomadic Turks.

As a Turkish, just received my DNA results. 53% South Italy, 24% Anatolia & Caucusus, 12% Aegean Islands, 9% Iran/Persia, 2% E. Europe / Russia. I have no Italian, Greek or Persian in my family
My father, mother and I were born and raised in the European side of Istanbul. My maternal grandfather's roots are from Bulgaria, and my paternal grandmother's roots are from Romania. My father's great-grandfather came to Istanbul from Eastern Anatolia during the Ottoman period (around the 1880s) so all my relatives have been in Istanbul for almost two centuries. I have white skin with brown hair and eyes... Kinda mixed, right? I think that's why Turkish people are depressed, we don't feel white/European or Asian. Our genes are diverse and rich. And we live in the most strategic place in the world: right in the middle of Europe and Asia... Thank you to the great Ottoman Empire for this complicated situation, lol.

Being Turk is more complicated than European or Asian. It depends on region where you came from or according to worldview of person. People may describe themselves as: Anadolulu (Anatolian) Trakyalı (Thracian/Europen side of TR) Akdenizli(Mediterenean) Egeli(Aegean) Karadenizli(Black sea region) Güneydoğulu(Southeastern Turkey or Mesopotamia) Kafkasyalı (Caucasian) Müslüman/Ümmet (Muslim/Ummah) Muhacir (Immigrant Turks or Muslims from Balkan peninsula)
@@KoroushRP You said mongloids who are mixed with europeans when I meant asian I meant Chinese,Korean and Japanese populations. White=European looking,Asian=Far East Asian looking. Turkic people didn't look like mongoloid they are genetical similiar to Indo-European populations.
Interesting , I'm a Singaporean chinese and I remembered going to Turkey when I was younger . Solo traveled to one of their villages and the countrymen stared at me as if I'm some exotic species 🫣
I mean you were something exotic in their eyes but not in a bad way. Especially people on the countryside stare at people who they've never seen, doesn't matter if you're a tourist or a native living in the country. They also stare at us when we go visit my grandma and travel through villages
You don't have to be Singaporean Chinese for the villagers to look at you hahah I'm Turkish and the villagers usually look at everyone who is "Stranger", but not in a bad way they're probably just wondering who you are
Europe and Asia are one continent. Also , geography does not equals race or culture. A chinese and an Iranian both live in Asia but they are not one race or culture.
noone really says eurasian either, we just go by regions like I'm Aegean, I'm Mediterrenean, I'm Blacksea person, I'm Thracian etc. We just don't know this concept, let alone the U.S race system. I was super confused in the States when filling out forms, they have ''race'', and each state has it's own census like some put turks as white, some as middle eastern, some as asian etc like you have to follow their census. It's mad confusing.
As a Korean, I have personally visited Istanbul and Bursa. They have both Asia and Europe (streets, scenery, races). However, when you look at the flag and religion, you can feel that they are closer to Asia.However, the Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs respects the Turkish government's opinion and treats it as a category belonging to Europe, unlike China and Japan.
Actually, before this, we need to look at what Asian and European mean. As a Turk, we are both Asian and European, in fact we may be the only nation in this position. We lived in Europe for centuries as Asian origins and changed it. Today, we also have a very unique culture and in fact, this is Anatolian culture. Thousands of years ago, the Greeks also officially had Asian culture, they had nothing to do with today's Europe, they lived in Mora and Anatolia and were completely Asian. Today, if you ask, they say we are European.
@@shapesandcolors2826 Continents were made by the west, so they didn't care if Asia was different from each other. They grouped them in one continent anyway and seperated themselves as Europe for cultural reasons.
Yeah, the continents are defined by the size of area and earth plates, according to that europe should also be in asia but different culture has made them different.
They are not Asians, they are not Europeans. Turks are Eurasians. Turkey's other half is part of European continent while the other half is on the Asian continent. Most of the Turkish men are insanely good looking. I love them. BTW, I am Asian-American , part Asian part American. 🇵🇭🇺🇲🤙🏻💗
I think when people talks about "Asian", they're usually referring to mongoloid looking peoples and this apply to peoples like Thai and Vietnamese etc too. Turkish people mostly look Caucasoid, they're definitely closer to Europeans visually as compare to other Asians like Chinese and Vietnamese.

Turkish is a such a beautiful language. And a really unique culture neither european nor asian. Even though it's influence is perceptible in both continent.
ive been all over Europe, asia, and Middle East. I see turks as a cross between Middle East and European. And it really depends on region. If you go inland, def middle eastern. But the big cities like Istanbul, more euro
Istanbul is the most mixed region of Turkey with lots of refugees. It definitely doesnt look euro it is more mid eastern than "inland regions" per average. You are talking with stereotyping and guessing. Bet my whole heart you have never been in Istanbul.
You know what? They're both. Some can be mostly or entirely Asian, and others can be Europeans. Though Turkey is rather more Asian due to its obvious history and the origins of a high percentage of its people that lie in Central and Southwest Asia. And even the natives of the old land of Turkey, called Anatolia, are considered Asians despite some being blonde and Italian-looking or living the "European way". It's all about geology. Turkey is under the Black and Caspian Seas among Middle Easterns and Iranians, which is considered Asian.

Just look at our borders, there lies the answer, we don't really feel like Asians or Europeans. We simply feel well Turkish since Turkish culture really blurres the lines of both Asia and Europe.
They're just like us brazilians: we here are latin Americans and South Americans but we don't speak Spanish and we don't speak English so we're left out in the americas. They're asians who look European
We do not feel tied to a continent, our ancestors come from Central Asia all the way to the Caucasus, but we experience 4 seasons in our country in a year, so we say we are Aegean, Mediterranean, Black Sea, Anatolian, Northern, depending on that climate.

@Moon Rabbit Kyrgyz has that middle eastern (idk how to express this more nicely) spitting sound kh, I don't think it sounds very similar to Nordic or European languages
@@moonrabbit5107n Turkish those sounds were considered more barbaric during Ottoman times since it was connected to lower class/nomadic Turks. And Persian and Arabic was an idol for the Ottomans, so they added a lot of Persian sounds with -sh or Persianized versions of Arabic words. Rural populations still use a lot of guttural and throttle sounded words, but those you wont find in common Turkish dictionaries.
As a Bangladeshi person, people in here assume that Turkish people are European. I can say is Turkish people are too European to Eastern people's eyes and too Asian to western people's eyes. So I guess Turkish people might be confused about which continent they are from.
Turkey has lands in both Asia and Europe. They founded and lived in states from Central Asia to Europe and from Europe to Anatolia. Genetic diversity is quite high.

Also , geography does not equals race or culture. A chinese and an Iranian both live in Asia but they are not one race or culture.

Turks are maybe not fully European, nor Asian. But they are Eurasian, that's for sure.
The European part doesn't count it's only 2.7%. So any Turk that thinks they're European, can forget it.
As a Korean, I have personally visited Istanbul and Bursa. They have both Asia and Europe (streets, scenery, races). However, when you look at the flag and religion, you can feel that they are closer to Asia.However, the Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs respects the Turkish government's opinion and treats it as a category belonging to Europe, unlike China and Japan.
As a Turkic. ❤
Actually, before this, we need to look at what Asian and European mean. As a Turk, we are both Asian and European, in fact we may be the only nation in this position. We lived in Europe for centuries as Asian origins and changed it. Today, we also have a very unique culture and in fact, this is Anatolian culture. Thousands of years ago, the Greeks also officially had Asian culture, they had nothing to do with today's Europe, they lived in Mora and Anatolia and were completely Asian. Today, if you ask, they say we are European.
Central Asian + European + Caucasian + Balkan + Middle eastern
You forgot "Mediterranean" loll
We mostly call ourselves as Anatolian or Rumelian.
