Talk:List of English words of Turkic origin

message: Please :), All dictionaries say it is Turkish from Greek root. All those useless links were referring to books written in Turkish, but no mention of the root of the word.Heja Helweda 23:01, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Why don't we create a separate section called "sometimes considered of Turkic origin"? That way we can put words that people aren't 100% sure on. —Khoikhoi 18:52, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, the User said he is going to try to find sources that show the etymology. If he cant, than the word cannot be considered Turkic at all. The problem is that the User cannot find sources to back up his claim.Khosrow II 18:55, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Are these English words? Correct me if I'm wrong, only a few in this list are, and the rest are English transliterations of Turkish words. --Inahet 06:09, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If it appears in an English dictionary, it's probably an English word. Nohat 08:38, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  English words? 

message: I am not sure about "oda=room", because it is certainly used in modern Arabic speech (Egypt) and may derive its current meaning from the Arabic word translated in Wehr's dictionary as "refuge". Uthman is without any doubt an Arab name, e.g. the third caliph. (Pamour (talk) 21:30, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

message: What is "Turquoise" doing here? it is obviously a French word, as <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turquoise> corroborates...
just because it has "Turq" inside of it doesn't mean it is Turkic. that would be the same as saying that "Greek" is a Greek word because it has "Greek" inside of it - no, it's an English word.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.163.146.166 (talk) 12:06, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Of course, and the article already mentions that it is an Anglo-French word, nevertheless the term Turk is ultimately of Turkic origin. --Chapultepec (talk) 04:06, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

message: if you like really central asian root of english, look at the some roots, but pls note that i lived there (turkey, kazakhstan, azerbaijan) many years. 
KING from KAGAN, TOWER from TAU (mountain in Turkic Langs), GO/COME from KEL(GEL) /KIT(GIT), MILK from MILCH(german) from MOLOKO(russian) from MAL-AKI(Turkic white of cow), AND A LOT OF WORDS IN ENGLISH BEGINING with ``W``, IN TURKIC LANGUAGES WITH ``Y`` for example, WAY-YOL, WASH-YIKA, WOOL-YUN, WRITE-YAZ, WIND-YEL, WORLD-YER, WRONG-YANLIS etc.
I guess English lang composes 2 different roots. First from Latin-Grek-Arabian-Indian (from south way) and other North Europe, Slavian Regions, Urals, Central Asia (from north way).
The etymological researche can not not be done on the table only. It must have lot trips around world.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.132.61.23 (talk) 18:56, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
