Abstract
In this study, Turkic Languages are compared in terms of their similarity rates and dissimilarity scores in the framework of structural language features encoded in WALS (The World Atlas of Language Structures) database. The objective of this study is to examine the relation between the similarity rate and the geographical distance of Turkic Languages based on their similarity rates. 14 out of 41 Turkic languages, in which at least 20 structural features have been specified in the WALS database which aims to study 2676 world languages in terms of 144 structural language features, are compared in this study. The similarity rates of the selected Turkic languages have been identified based on their codified common features and the tables in which mutual similarity rates of the Turkic languages are ordered have been obtained. The mutual dissimilarity rates of Turkic languages, on the other hand, have been identified based on the distributional or hierarchical values where they display their features and therefore, the average dissimilarity rates have been determined. The order of the similarity rates of the Turkic languages based on the features specified in the WALS database have been compared with the order of the Turkic languages based on geographical distances to see if any overlaps between these orders exist. It is concluded that there is no significant overlap between the order of similarity rate and the order of geographical distance in the Turkic Languages and any minor overlap found is random.
