Fascism

Bas al-lughatul-'arabiyyah hiyya jameelatun jiddan!
But Arabic is a very beautiful language!

Looks really painful when written in English like Turkish with the really long words and scribbles on the letters

"scribbles on the letters" lol

[Kubumba Tribe]

Yes it does. You have Italian ancestry, so you're part Italian.

this is incorrect, Italian is a nationality you can't be part "italian"

True, I was thinking about that too.

it's like all the american whom say they are "irish" or whatever when they have never set food on ireland.

Actually that's possible. "Irish" is a nationality and an ethnicity.

Well yeah, it looks better in the Arabic script.
Also, Turkish doesn't have scribbles on letters, they have dots.

I have italian ancestors as well, but I don't consider myself any part italian, now I could see that I have Latin-Medeterranian roots.

I have tiny amounts of Italian, Irish and maybe Okinawan blood but I wouldn't call myself any of those. The Irish do have a huge expat community so they might be

They seem to have dots and scribbles when its written in the Latin alphabet

English does on certain letters as well, and that doesn't necessarily make a script look bad. We're veering wildly off topic, though.

No its just Turkish words look confusing to read

I mean... what.

It does if your not used to it that's normal. From what I heard the language was designed for the Latin or Arabic script

That's probably more because you don't speak Turkish and less because it's inherently hard to read.

Exactly.

The Latin alphabet is the only alphabet the Turkish language uses.

That too, I forgot about those.

Doesn't matter.

No when you learn how to say them, they aren't.

He's not wrong, tho.

Both. Actually, neither. Turkish took up both script over time, it wasn't designed for those script on day 1.

The Latin alphabet is the only alphabet the Turkish language uses.

IIRC it used to use the Arabic script (or maybe it was Persian), but Atatürk rebuilt it to be based off of the Latin script. Latin fits it better anyway, imo.

But it's one of the most obvious statements you could make.

That's the case with all natural languages, really. They're sometimes adapted to fit a script after the fact, but not specifically designed with a certain script in mind.

Perhaps it's more visually appealing, but it doesn't fit Turkish at all.

We going off topic now

[Kubumba Tribe]

We should continue this convo in the diversity thread.

[Torrocca]

Fascism is a spook that should be destroyed by any and every reasonable society. :^)

There are many redundancies there, so my point stands. Also, that's a variant designed for Turkish, not the actual Arabic script.

[Cekoviu]

I'm not sure how discussion of Turkish orthography is relevant there either. We need a linguistics discussion thread.

That's communism and liberal democracy and capitalism and debt slavery those are the things a healthy society must clean away
