Turkish is the most widely spoken of the Turkic languages, with around 80 million speakers, most of them in Turkey, where it is the official language; it is also official in Cyprus. Turkish grammar is agglutinative, building long words from strings of suffixes governed by vowel harmony, and it has no grammatical gender. In 1928 the country switched from the Ottoman Arabic script to a tailored Latin alphabet as part of Ataturk's reforms, one of the most sweeping script changes any language has undergone. Large Turkish-speaking communities live across Europe, above all in Germany. Britain's Turkish-speaking population, drawn from mainland Turkey and from Turkish Cypriots who arrived from the 1950s onward, is concentrated in North and East London, particularly around Haringey and Hackney.
