- bayindirh 6y agoTurkish is the only language which has the ı & I pair. Similarly, AFAIK, Turkish is again the only language with ğ and ş letters. So, by testing for Turkish, you test for a lot of European languages at once. Moreover we share some modified letters(ç, ü) with other Central European languages. If your program can pass “The Turkish Test”, you pass a lot of others too.
- anticensor 6y agoAzerbaijani too. Moreover, Azerbaijani has an additional letter ə, which sounds like /æ/.
- therein 6y agoI love the feeling of camaraderie arising from that partial mutual intelligibility of Turkish and Azerbaijani. That connection through language goes a long way. müqəddəs bacı millət :)

- 1-more 6y agoPoor encoding can lead to the odd murder too: http://gizmodo.com/382026/a-cellphones-missing-dot-kills-two-people-puts-three-more-in-jail http://gizmodo.com/382026/a-cellphones-missing-dot-kills-two... > The use of "i" resulted in an SMS with a completely twisted meaning: instead of writing the word "sıkısınca" it looked like he wrote "sikisince." Ramazan wanted to write "You change the topic every time you run out of arguments" (sounds familiar enough) but what Emine read was, "You change the topic every time they are fucking you" (sounds familiar too.)
- rvnx 6y agoThat doesn't explain the e instead of the a, does it ?
- bayindirh 6y agoIn the olden times, ending words with e instead of a is considered an acceptable typo. Also the article explicitly says "it looked like he wrote". So when you see red, that last letter can become anything and nothing would change.
- rurban 6y agoTurkish, Lithuanian and Korean specifically. They do have the most exceptions.
