It is spoken in Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan,  Kyrgyzstan, Uigur and some population in Cyprus (11.6%) Mongolia (1%),  Iran (Turkic and Turkic dialects 26%, Turkish 1%) Iraq (10%). Furthermore, over  a million  speakers  are found in Bulgaria, Macedonia  and  Greece, more than 1.5  million speakers  live in Germany and nearly half a million live  in  other  European countries.

• No gender.

• Agglutination.

• Adjectives precede nouns.

• Verbs come at the end of the sentence.
