[@mr_ordinaryus]

There are way more dialects than just 7. To classify it correctly there are 8 main dialect groups: 1. West Rumelian Turkish 2. East Rumelian Turkish (both Rumelian groups have similarities to Gagauz, which is why they're sometimes considered as Balkan Gagauz dialects) 3. West Anatolian Turkish (with 9 subgroups) (closer to Standard Turkish/Istanbul dialect) 4. East Anatolian Turkish (with 4 subgroups) (some of the dialects are closer to Iraqi Turkmen and some are closer to Azerbaijani) 5. Northeast Anatolian Turkish (with 3 subgroups) (a unique dialect group which has similarities to neighbouring West Anatolian dialects) 6. Cypriot Turkish (there are dialects in the provinces Antalya and Mersin that are close to Cypriot Turkish) 7. Syrian Turkmen (has similarities to neighbouring dialects of West Anatolian Turkish and also East Anatolian Turkish) 8. Iraqi Turkmen (another unique dialect group which has actually more similarities to Azerbaijani than Standard Turkish and has almost nothing to do with Turkmenistan Turkmen) West Rumelian is mainly spoken in Macedonia and Kosovo, East Rumelian in Bulgaria, Romania and whole Thrace, West Anatolian includes everything west of the Giresun-Gaziantep axis, Northeast Anatolian includes the provinces Trabzon and Rize and parts of Artvin and East Anatolian includes the remaining part of Türkiye. Please consider that the geographical extent is too big to call these groups as dialects. Considering West Anatolian, being the most diverse group (that stretches from Muğla to Giresun and from Hatay to Çanakkale), the number of Turkish dialects is much higher than just 7 or 8.

[@podobnozycietakiejestnasie7166]

Finally a normal content on Turkish dialects with examples of native speaking, thank you very much!

[@edwardelric5019]

0:40 I'm Turkish born and raised in Germany and I understand everything perfectly because all the grannies and partly my parents as well talk all like this and me too actually. My whole family is from the Aegean. I'm currently learning proper Turkish aka İstanbul Turkish. But I'm so grateful for my parents for having me taught this dialect ❤

[@erdemsolakoglu5702]

0:58 nerenin Ege ağzıdır acaba? Trabzon yöresinin falan mı? Belli ki ne Egelisiniz ne de Karadenizli. Düşüncenize ve emeğinize sağlık ama keşke o ağzın dizinin adındaki(Ege'nin Hamsisi) Ege kelimesinden ziyade Hamsiden geldiğini anlayabilseydiniz de yanlış bilgilendirme yapmasaydınız.

[@basaksungur9068]

Bende bunu yazacaktım, bu kanalın yapmış olmasına şaşırdım.

[@llewynnmaralack5587]

Very helpful video. Thanks. Turkey is such a wonderfully diverse country.😊

[@user-jh8gz1lo4e]

0:40 Ege bölgesine ilk taşındığımda ilk önceleri özellikle kendi aralarında konuştuklarında hiç bir şey anlamıyordum. zamanla kulağım alıştı ve bir kaç yıl sonra nihayet tüm konuşmalarını anlamaya başladım. Bu süre zarfında yeni bir dil öğrensem daha kolay olurdu😅

[@B13.B13]

as a native Turkish from Istanbul, even I dont understand most of them at once.. how others understand...

[@ludovicaromano3052]

Türk ağızlarına bayıldım 🥰 gerçekten onları sevdim. Videoyu kaydediyorum.

[@scottburns8957]

Thank you for this! Finally I understand Uğur Aslan (Eren)'s dialect in Yargı is from the Southeast! This was a super interesting video :)

[@user-zr8mm9ib8s]

6:28 Sounds like Azerbaijani

[@Abeturk]

Already the same dialect..

[@thefenerbahcesk4156]

I speak Turkmen (Turkmensahra dialect), and our language is most similar to the Konya ot Ege dialects of Turkish.

[@FPolydorion]

1:04 this is black sea accent by the way, not Aegean.

[@KoraySelduman]

Balkan, Trace Trakya dialects are not mentioned. They have some similarities but different anyway, Cyprus dialect is a bridge between Greek, balkans, anatolia and Azerbaycani. Cypot Turkish has some species from all of them.

[@muharrematl9786]

Great video and effort. (As a born and raised guy from Adana) Adana dialect which you mentioned ; The dialect of immigrants who came to Adana from the east part of the Türkiye. You cannot find a native using this dialect in any village. We have a "Yörük" dialect which is spoken around Adana, Mersin, Antalya, Burdur. Again thank you for your effort and appreciate what you have done.

[@fenomenoadam7735]

Sometimes we have difficulty understanding these local languages. And sometimes I'm ashamed to say how many times I didn't understand some words. And to get out of this situation, I nodded as if I understood. But when I go there and stay for a month, interestingly enough, I get the same result. pure Turkish (ne yapıyorsun)? Black Sea people pronounce it as (neydisun) and Central Anatolians pronounce it as (nörüyon). Turkish may be a difficult language, but it is an enjoyable language because you can describe an event with 100 different words, which makes it enjoyable. I have been studying English for a long time, but I realized that I can use different expressions very little.

[@nevinmcc]

Excellent!!!

[@SerkanKabak25]

I am curious if some of the local dialects are closer to the original old Turkic languages such as Gokturk or proto Turkic. The interchange between k and g sounds are some differences between modern Turkish and these older languages.

[@edwardelric5019]

Yeah it is. We say "goñşy" for example like Turkmens do. Or "eyi" instead of "iyi". Göktürk used the word "egi".

[@rosesteel4317]

Maybe yörüks can be closer

[@rosesteel4317]

As a native Turkish, my mom is from Kastamonu 08:24 and my dad is from Gaziantep (baklava city hahah south eastern accent) 05:26

[@rosesteel4317]

9:27 I don't agree as a person who live in Kastamonu now. Sometimes people say most normal thing but they may be noisy and I thought they are fighting, but when I listen carefully I realize they say like "Goodbye, bye bye..." Hahahah

[@samuraialfredo]

Gerçekten çok beğendim. Daha fazla bize göster, özelikle balkan şivesi benim için çok ilginç.

[@podobnozycietakiejestnasie7166]

Please could add the sources you used in the video

[@mansournikmard4558]

Mühteşem.

[@championgundyr1092]

what about thrace

[@EnteresanJEA]

Mainly standard Turkish because Istanbul and Edirne being major population hubs for the Thracian bit of Turkey are fully standard Turkish speakers so there's a minority of dialects there.

[@thrbykky]

Trakya es geçilmiş sanki bir de Erzurum tarafı güneydoğu Anadolu dan farklı , Adana ya da haksızlık yapılmış yine .

[@poughkeepsie8516]

I was going to write smth like that. I am German and learned Turkish from my closest Turkish friends who are originally from Mersin. And they speak very differently than the shown gentleman from Adana.

[@canpolatteker]

I think, Erzurum mounth is not a part of southeastern mouth such as Şanlıurfa, Diyarbakır, etc. Their mouth is very similar to Eastern Oghuz like Azerbaycan mouth.

[@Azbuka_Tyurkov]

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇹🇷🇨🇾

[@Ozgur72]

0:58 LoL thats not aegean dialect. thats blacksea dialect. Even the clothing is blacksea style.

[@kata923]

Universitede Turkce ogrendim, ama asla ogrenmegim bitmedim. O 20 yildan once oldu. Turkce konusmaya bilmem. Bunu icin uzuluyorum. Hatta yazmak zor bana. Bu videolar tesekkur ederim.

[@misterwill3625]

Very informative video! Do Turkish people need translators to understand people from different regions?

[@user-zk7vh7iv4f]

nope:) usually we can grasp new words from the context and typical features of regional dialects are known☺

[@misterwill3625]

@@user-zk7vh7iv4f This is a relief 😅 I’m learning textbook Turkish, which some webpages call Istanbul Turkish. After I saw your video, I was momentarily discouraged because I started to think I would only understand Turkish in Istanbul. thank you for clearing that up. I’ll keep studying.

[@rosesteel4317]

​​@@misterwill3625 No, we understand every single accent. But of course there are some local words, so not every Turkish person can understand it. And some people- especially elders- speak fast so maybe the outsiders may think it is hard to understand. But communication is not a big problem. Additionlly, there are native Kurdish people here who generally speak in Kurdish and have a strong accent. So it also might be hard to understand for some people but it is still not a problem. You can go to every single Turkish city and speak in Istanbul Turkish with the people who knows and speaks Turkish.

[@rosesteel4317]

​@@misterwill3625 And my mom is from Kastamonu (we live here) and my dad is from Gaziantep (South Eastern and famous with baklava and foods). I can only speak in Istanbul accent. So it is not weird. Accents are generally cute, sometimes liverish and funny. But Istanbul accent is the standart one that you can hear from Tv series (there are different accents though), news, schools, textbooks and books, novels, stories, streets, business and more. Especially in business to speak in Istanbul accent is better I think cuz it is standart accent, plus I think it's the coolest and luxurious one. But the other accents are also so cute and beautiful even though that I cannot speak I love to hear them. But shortly you should def learn Istanbul accent. Keep going! Kolay gelsin.

[@wg611]

These are accents (ağız) not dialects (lehçe).

[@rosesteel4317]

Excatly

[@Khai.s]

Cypriot Turkish is a dialect though

[@nadiajustamother5655]

True !

[@hakan341]

[@brctz6671]

Diğer ağızlar neden yok 😢 mesela Antalya. Antalya’da yörük ağzı konuşulur.

[@osmankokturk1861]

Trakya ağzı!?

[@yusufburak8104]

There are no dialects spoken in Turkiye but in Turcic world e.g in Özbekistan and Kırgızistan and Azerbaycan etc. You are talking about here accents only. There's f..ng huge difference between accents and dialects ..

[@dou7747]

Cypriot dialect is also a dialect, not an accent

[@hobinabi]

Hilarious 🎉

[@humancake115]

Not a very accurate representation but I appreciate the effort nevertheless

[@bahtszturko3016]

Kesitlere altyazı yapmalıydınız. Türk'ün zor anladığı diyalektleri öğreniciler nasıl anlasın?

[@enesa6489]

These are actually different accents, not dialects. Don't come to me with "they taught us they are dialects at school or university".

[@Abeturk]

Nowadays they're different accents but 100 years ago each of them was a dialect..

[@TMW-qm7qx]

Cypriot Turkish is definitely a different dialect. The grammar isn't even the same half the time and there's a lot of different vocabulary.

[@minskdhaka]

You're confusing the "q" and "kh" sounds, which are quite different from each other. Whenever an interview subject pronounces a word with a "q" (like in the Arabic word "Qatar", the name of the country), in your commentary you describe it as "kh" (like ij the Arabic "khatr", meaning "danger"). Those are not the same sound.

[@mstkli222]

there is no arabic effect on souteastern dialects. only kurdish. this woman doesnt know any turkish. dont trust
