Turkish language course?

[miltonjohn]

Hi,

i searched the forum about the "Turkish to other languages-Problem"

so my great wish is eighter a better english documentary or simply a
Translation tool and a    language course as well!

So maybe with a few fellows which want to learn turkish, the will improve the english wiki and so on!

So think about it and i am looking forward to learn Turkish by Pardus!

Hi,
You may find some information about Turkish on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_language page. As an agglunative language wich utilizes suffixes a lot, the meaning changes a lot with each suffix. This grammar structure makes it very difficult to develop a NLP Natural Language Processing program.

There are research groups which work on delevop an machine based translation system for Turkish. However, development in this area is slow and we are still waiting for an better computer based translation system.

So, we are heavily dependent on human based translation which is more slower than computers.

You copuld find some information on http://www.tomer.ankara.edu.tr/english/index.html page about turkish courses and web distance turkish learning course.
