Mohabat: I think it is Arabic in origin.

Most of these words were probably introduced by the Ottomans rather than being of Turkish origin.

I always thought Sharab was Persian considering the "ab" is an Iranic word for water.

No offence to any Turks, but as an Iranian I am sick of people thinking things are Turkish when they are originally Iranian. First of all Mast, which is Yoguart, was introduced to the west by Turks, How ever it is an Iranian food, originally from horse milk and goat milk. Turkey was used as a gate way for things to enter europe. Infact Turks arrived in modern day Turkey 1300 years ago, and it was already populated with people, who spoke latin and a language that branched off the Iranian Language, just as latin, Anceint Greek, sanskirt etc are all branches of Iranian language, also called Zend Language. So please be correct if you think it is Turkish the chances of it being Iranian is a 80-90% chance.

Where do you thinkWhere do you think Goats and Horse where domesticated ohh wait turks did it first right???? Turkish has Persian words just as Persian has Turkish... but alot of words in Turkish is originally from Farsi which is a Iranic or Iranian language belonging to the Iranian Family group of languages.

Even Turksih guys here admit it and yet most of you insist it is Turkish??? Pan Turkishism??? Difference is Iranians can actually admit taking words from Arabic in which makes up 30% or more of Farsi where as alot of Turks here cannot admit that their language consist of alot of Arabic and Farsi which takes 50% of your language.... Actually Farsi had more Arabic words till the late 1800's in which they were replaced with Old Persian words etc

He was saying Alp not Alps. The trial to make them related it another story i'm not interested.

I think you know about Alp Er Tunga or who in persian literature was refered to as Afrasiab.

Alp or Ghalip is often used in many Turkic languages. It means great, victorious etc.

lol actually your wrong there look it up, they are branches of an Iranian Language, even farsi is a branch off this language refered to sometimes as Zend language, it cannot be indo-european as it is found also in India, central asia etc so it is termed european but branchs of what is called iranian or Aryan language.....

Oooooooooooooooooook

Do Not send me any warning, because, it is just answer!!!

Ok, Who were Nomadic???

Turkish or Persian???

Who had 1 000 000 horse that moved in summer to Tibet, In winter To Ceyhun river???

U, I do not know why u think that Yogurt is persian but i can easily give its definition in turkish???

Yogurt=yogur=yogrulmaq=We still use it=My mother can yogur a milk and make it Yogurt.

Is that all u want?

Why when We say that Yogurt is turkish, some devil comes to you and says that, no u should say that that is Persian word.

I really and really did not got your point.

Would it be okay, if I will call Persians as Turkish???U probably will laugh me, The same think with Yogurt
