Foreign words still tend to follow rules and get 'Turkified' along the way. The rants are mostly related to synonyms. They are not unique to Turkish. Regional differences and slang exist in every language. I don't see a compelling reason how it makes Turkish harder to grasp compared to other languages.
> Turkish pronunciation is easy compared to English.
Yes, it is, and by a high margin! There are some exceptions. Unlike English, where almost everything is an exception.
As a bilingual person Turkish feels way more logical and structured to me. I also get frustrated when I try to map expressions from English to Turkish, which doesn't always work, but that's not the fault of the Turkish language per se.
> Turkish and machines don't mix.
That's a huge claim. I don't think enough effort has been put into it yet to make it. There's a lot of good work being done and the state of NLP in Turkish might get better soon. It's no small feat, and I'm optimistic about it.
