=================== 
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 !

 that.  hehehe :)

I do not disagree with anyone because truth is plural and transient.
