Sanskrit and Japanese are two.

The former is ugly as hell and the latter not as special as stupid animu faggots think.

Wrong.
They`re ethnically diverse.

Once more: stfu moron.

Persians are related to Europeans ethnically. Being influenced by a lot of Arabic Islamic culture is a whole different matter.

Arabs are Semitic peoples.
Persians are descendants of the Indo-European peoples.

Learn the difference, it could save your life.

Turkish is a European language, they use the European alphabet.
Persian otoh uses the Arabic "alphabet" so they are closely related to Arabic.

No motherfucker. Stop being a dumbass.
Kazakh language for example uses the cyrilic alphabet and it isn't a slavic language, it's Turkic instead.

No, Turkish is an Altaic language, it's from a different family from both Indo-European AND Semitic languages. It is structurally closer to Japanese for fuck's sake.

About the script, yes, they use the Latin alphabet which was adopted in the 20th century, but before that they used the arabic script.

But of course, vocabulary could have been influenced. The case was so in Ottoman Turkish, which contained so many redundant loanwords it was second to only English in the size of vocabulary. But modern Turkish mostly has native words, and most loanwords are of Indo-European origin. A detailed chart is in the link below.

turkish only started using the euro trash alphabet after the collapse of the ottoman empire.

Those were Ottomans, not Turks. Two different people.

Actually, there was no "ottoman people" unless you consider it a superset which included all ethnicities in the empire (well it was pretty multicultural for its time)

The Ottoman family down my street would disagree with you.

Either you live in the same street with members of an imperial dynasty, or they are bullshitting you.
