I agree with setting up a page to define the many different people of Turkey

I do not believe that the Huns should be included. The Esthonians , Finns and Huns are Ural Altaic, or rather Finno -Ugric Would you then include the Esthonians and the Finns in your Turkic list ? H. Jonat

To MichaelTinkler On the other hand , the East Germanic Goth were taken over by the Huns for a while. Together they stormed Rome. Besides the Turkic Turks in Turkey there are now Deutsch-Tuerken German-Turks in Germany. Do you want to add all of them ? H. Jonat

Not at all. My point, tho', is that to write a sentence like "Turks are the inhabitants of Turkey" is (a) inadquate in what it tells us about the Turks and (b) inaccurate about the inhabitants of Turkey. In fact, the entry "turks" is not much more useful than "germans" or "americans". I hope you're beginning to realize that I do not find the names of ethnicities or nations particularly useful in and of themselves.

Michael Tinkler, I guess you are 66 ? . Go ahaed and put all the info in you can find. I only started the Turk page, because it fitted in the text somewhere else. H. Jonat
66? Oh - yes, I haven't logged in from this computer, which loses my preferences every time I shut down for the night. Let me point out that not all the links people create in articles actually deserve to be articles themselves. --MichaelTinkler
