>Thanks to the brilliance of Kemal Ataturk, Turkish uses a perfectly phonetic Latin alphabet. As easy as Spanish to learn to read out loud (even if you don't have a clue what you are saying.) Gives Turks a real advantage in computer work over those who use an Arabic alphabet. Pronunciation not at all difficult. ( providing you can do umlauts <g> ) Grammar is another matter. For example, verb conjugation etc all done with suffixes. Our teachers used to tell us the longest word in Turkish was Cekoslovakyalilastiramadiklaramizdanmidirlar? which means "Aren't there some of those we could convert into Czechoslovians?" Kind of gives you the idea <g> I don't know German but I am told they don't find the concepts as difficult as Americans do.

We are able to string nouns together, but verbs are usally left out...
