Languages most similar to your mother tongue

[KARABOĞA]

Which languages are most similar to your mother tongue and which you can understand up to a certain level?

My mother tongue is Turkish

1- Gagauz (I understand 90-95%)
2- Azerbaijani (I understand 80-85%)
3- Crimean Tatar (From Kipchak group but they have very Oghuz influence, I understand much better than Turkmen even sometimes better than Azerbaijani language, I understand 75-80%)

gagauz and azeri more like accent to me

From this video

It is the note from 1/10 . The first line is grammar, the second is lexicon, and the third is phonetics.

She comes to the conclusion that Brazilian portuguese is the most similar to Spanish.
Actually this is quite consistent with what I told you. Look at the phonetic difference between the Portuguese of Brazil and that of Portugal! Even Italian or romanian has simpler phonetics than portuguese

I understand a little Kurdish, but I can't speak it. I understand 50-60% Kurdish

Farsi is a different language. I don't understand any shit. I don't know Ossetian at all lol

at least you understand a bit i don't know a single word in georgian (i even know some kurdish words but not georgian) and my georgian great grandpa spoke georgian in his home lol.

but i guess it's not weird because my other grandparents are turkish. xd

@Onyx there are significant differences between pontic greek language and greek language or it's basically same?

Actually you only have one turkish grandparent and the others are georgian(2 of them turkified).

On topic;

Linguistically closest language to my language Kurdish is Ossetian, Persian and Afghan language imho..

Even my father and my uncles are don't speak or understand Kurdish because we are politically Turkified Kurds mostly..

That pontic greek with 5% east eurasian was atypical of course and perhaps even slightly mixed

sure it's atypical but also i've seen mesketian with 5-6% east eurasian. i still say some meskhetians are just local but some of them local + turkic. maybe it's bullshit but i've seen other meskhetians with turanic look.
