Turkish is spoken by over 77 million people as their native language. When those who speak this language as their second tongue are added, the number rises to nearly 85 million speakers. This language is vital to any business working in Europe, Asia or the Middle East. Turkey itself represents a very fast-growing market and a unique nation with numerous opportunities for those who have access to the language. This language is not Middle Eastern in its origins but is, rather, Central Asian. This language has been in use for over a thousand years and is currently spoken in Turkey, Cyprus and in several other nations as a minority language. It has its own modified Latin script and the order of words is different than many Indo-European languages.

Turkish has obvious importance to international trade. Istanbul itself is home to a bridge that begins in Europe and ends in Asia. The nation has long been an economic powerhouse and the Ottoman Empire lasted until the early 20th Century, spreading Turkish influence far and wide across Europe and the Middle East. The nation is increasingly developing technologically and the markets are very active. Because it makes use of a modified Latin script, it lends itself naturally to use on the web. This language has complex rules of syntax and specific forms of address based on status.
