Since again it is hard to locate the original message that asked the question

"Is Turkish a New Language?"

I have taken one of the messages in random to reply to.

One interesting fact !!!!!!

In Sumer the word for God is "Dingir" which has a curious meaning made up of 
two words
 
        Din = Sky
          and
        Gir = Chamber 



In all Turkic languages the word for God are various derivatives such as

Tingir, Tengir, Tangara, Tengri, Tangri, or Tanri.

I wish some linguist would investigate this !
