The Languages of Acts 2

[Paul Younan]

Hi Paul,

to be exact Azerbaijan is said to be the origin country of Turkish people. Mongols invaded later Turkey, and therefore, some Turkish people have mongolian features.

Hi Distazo,

That's not true at all. The Azeri people are not Turkic ethnically, only linguistically. They are a Persian people, later Turkified when the Turks ruled the area.

Turks came from Central Asia originally, around Mongolia. In fact the modern Kazakh and Kyrgyz people are both ethnically and linguistically Turkic (and they are very Mongoloid in appearance)

In Asia Minor in those days, the Turkish language and the Turkic people were unheard of.
